Out This Week / on 25 August 2017
Liza Minnelli / Results (3CD+DVD box)
Fans have been waiting for an expansive deluxe of Liza Minnelli‘s Pet Shop Boys‘ produced album for ages. This 4-disc set is well priced and delivers loads of remixes.
Underworld / Beaucoup Fish (box set)
Underworld‘s 1999 album is reissued as a 4CD super deluxe edition which includes remixes, B-sides etc.
The Fall / The Fontana Years (box set)
Six-CD box that brings together the three Fall albums recorded between 1990 and 1992 (Extricate, Shift-Work and Code: Selfish). But the really good thing is that this set features all the bonus tracks, including B-sides, remixes and BBC sessions, previously included in the deluxe reissues.
Devo / Recombo DNA (4LP+CD set)
Devo studio demos, outtakes and unreleased rare tracks in this 4LP vinyl + 3″ CD box set.
Elton John / The Big Picture (vinyl LP)
More Elton John vinyl reissues. This time it’s The Big Picture, his 1997 album, which has been remastered from the original analogue tapes by Bob Ludwig, with vinyl cutting by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios. Something About The Way You Look Tonight was the first single, but is better known for being the flipside to Elton’s Diana, Princess of Wales tribute, A Candle In The Wind.
- • UK Order: The Big Picture (vinyl)
- • USA Order: The Big Picture (vinyl)
- • GERMANY Order: The Big Picture (vinyl)
Paul Weller / Woo Sé Mama (7″ vinyl)
It’s not exactly cheap, but this seven-inch from Paul Weller‘s A Kind Revolution album is the only physical single from the long-player to date.
Sex Pistols / More Product (3CD)
The original Sex Pistols Some Product release was a compilation of 1976-1978 radio interviews (issued in 1979). This reissue has been expanded into a 3CD set by including the BBC Radio 1 “Rock On” interview from 1977 and two further previously unreleased Radio Forth & Radio Metro interviews from 1977.
also motorheads debut on Chiswick records being reissued on white vinyl and silver cover art
Got all that Fall material first time around so that saves me 25 quid! Highly recommended though for those who do not possess….
Oh that Pistols Box Set is absolutely ridiculous. a lot of people were tricked in buying “Some Product” way back then (i know folks who expected music and then couldn’t understand the whole punk phenomena). Now after the live box there is really nothing left in the vaults. On the other hand “We’re not into music, we’re into Chaos”. So let’s make this number 1 ;-)
£30 for Elton’s The Big Picture? Wow! It’s not an awful album but it’s not in the top 20 of his best LPs IMO…
Yes, £30 is a bit silly.
Considering the number of albums, making his top 20 isn’t hard! :-)
This week on 25th should be released the deluxe editons of CURVE. Been waiting for my pre-order of Doppelgänger.
No mention of The War On Drugs LP.
Promises to be a great LP if songs released so far are anything to go by.
Thinking of a place is a classic song
I think the 30th anniversary edition of Motley Crue’s Girls Girls Girls is out this Friday as well. But it’s the same tracklist as their Crucial Crue edition from 1999, so no thanks. Sigh.
That Devo set costs less than $60 shipped to the USA from Amazon UK. (Comparable USA price from Amazon US is $80.)
Does anyone know what the packaging is like on the Fall box set? I have the deluxe editions of those albums but would buy this if the packaging wasn’t just the 3 jewel cases in a slip sleeve. If it was the albums all packaged together with some better sleeve content etc.
AFAIK, the albums are still packaged as 3 doubles but with card sleeves this time.
Also out Iron and Wines new album Beast Epic.
Hey Paul, thanks for the info!
FYI, your Recombo listing says 3cd.
Thanks… fixed that error.
This week, exactly on 25, are also released The Veils CD and vinyl reissues for their first three albums: ‘The Runaway Found’, ‘Nux Vomica’ and ‘Sun Gangs’. No bonus content or remasters, but the first one is released on vinyl for the first time.
