Paul Young / Tomb of Memories: The CBS Years (4CD)
Really proud of this Paul Young set that I compiled for Sony Music. This is a four CD journey through Young’s CBS career, via hits, rare mixes, unheard alternate versions and a few previously unreleased songs. Great value too.

Okay, will look forward to it!
Hurrah, I got an undamaged, unbroken set at the 3rd attempt. When it’s *right*, the mechanism isn’t too fiddly and the discs slip in and out without fuss. Looking forward to listening to all this stuff.
What happened to the PY article this week on SDE though?
It’s being posted tomorrow (Monday)
Paul, Just wanted to say a big thank you …. Not only for your contribution of the Paul Young release, but had I not been a member of YOUR site – I’d have probably missed it.
Just back after a miserable holiday (great British weather!) to receive the delivery (signed copy!) and after listening to CD1, I can’t wait to hear the next 3!!!
Great mastering, great selection, amazing price.
Thanks again for SDE!!!
Thanks very much Rob. Hope you enjoy the rest of the Paul Young set :)
Does anyone have a problem with getting CD1 out of the Paul Young case? 3 and 4 came out easily enough, not sure how they go back in and stay in tho. CD2 i had to slide out from under CD1, just feels like its hammered in there :(
They are fiddly… you’re supposed to ‘push down’ gently on the CD I think and (in theory) it comes out.
cheers Paul,
where in the music world can you talk to a guy who helped curate a reissue, and also ask the same person advice on dealing with ‘fiddly’ CD cases?
Nowhere, is the short answer…
Haha… I aim to please :)
Tom – I thought the same!
Totally off-topic but is it just me who thinks that is a totally different woman on the cover of Lisa Stansfield’s live release? It looks like a completely different woman to me! lol
Looking forward to the PY “behind the scenes” chat later in the week. I ended up pre-ordering with amazon, so it might turn up in time to coincide with the SDE feature!
Any sense of where the best deal on the Isley set is currently?
Amazon Italy is the best deal at the moment I think. Link here > http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/the-isley-brothers-the-rca-victor-and-t-neck-album-masters-1959-83/
U.S. I guess that might be the issue?
I hope not! I’m US too-I haven’t heard anything and they did take my money.
MyPlay cancelled my signed Paul Young order with no reason given. I guess I’m not buying it.
Where do you live? I hope it’s not that they will only ship to certain countries (Like the Lisa Stansfield/Donna Summer boxes)!
Strange… have you tried contacting customer services?
I contacted them last night. No response yet.
If you haven’t heard back in the next 24 hours let me know and I will try and sort.
It is sorted out. My credit card expired and switched over to the new expiration date. Even though I paid through amazon, which adjusted automatically, it did not do so via the MyPlay order. Thanks for offering to help Paul!
The Isley Brothers set looks great. It doesn’t seem to be getting as much hype as some of the other sets released this month.
Some photos of this set coming later in the week…
It seems Nirvana release date has been changed to 13 November 2015
