Anyone have any ideas re extra content on the Japanese editions of the 3 Aha special editions mentioned above? I am in Asia next week and can pick stuff up for much the same price as a UK edition.
cheers

According to CDjapan these won’t be released over there till December so you won’t be able to pick them up unless you are planning a long stay and the track listings are identical so no extras.
Had no idea this Devo compilation was in the works. I hope it sounds better than Virgins twofers of their albums.
Also hope the 7″ edit of Come Back Jonee is present and correct.
FYI: The CD layer of the Sly & The Family Stone SACD are the original mono hit mixes.
There is also a “Sweet – Action!” 3-DVD box set.
The DVD set will be of more interest to fans of a certain age (like me) as it contains the previously unreleased full Musikladen performance from 1974.
Paul,
Shouldn’t the Frida – Something’s Going On 2015 Deluxe Box Set be listed as well as its planned release date is 23rd October.
Besides the box set, a standard Deluxe Edtion (CD&DVD) will be released on the same date too.
Any news on the separate disc editions of the Steve Hackett box? I thought I heard somewhere to discs would be available on their own.
