Does anyone know where i can get the first six further listenings (2017 remaster)?seems to find only the 3 new ones,no sign of the others
They are out of print but Warners have confirmed they will be reissued, but we just don’t know when.
From various comments on the psb forum there seems to be several errors in the Further listening booklet, some reflecting the change of tracklist at the last minute. Not good, but unsurprising.
Pretty big error on the Fundamental vinyl. “God Willing” is listed as the final track on side A when it is, in fact, the 1st track on side B. Pretty elementary and poor error.
Great pressing though. Lots of lovely detail and nice rounded sound.
A boxset for Diana Ross with DVD(s) would be awsome! Especially for those elusive 80s videos. Just like the one for Samantha Fox.
Reading the review of the PSB reissues in the latest issue of Classic Pop, there is mention of something called Inspection coming out in Autumn including “alternative” mixes (not sure of what). Is this a wind-up?
Separately, Amazon have relisted the Underworld Beaucoup Fish superdeluxe set (previously listed for release last October, now listed for August). The last two Underworld superdeluxe releases have been excellent. Roll on superdeluxes of Orbital and Chemical Brothers albums. And to the side again, there are some excellent music programmes currently on Sky Arts presented by Noddy Holder. He was very authoritative talking about Acid House for an hour!
Yes, it is ! The reviewer was just trying to be funny, he thought “Inspection” sounded like an obvious PSB album title. Not funny at all !
Even lesser Pet Shop Boys is still pretty great to me. I’m also hoping they announced the other albums soon because I just unloaded all my CD’s in preparation of buying the reissues.
Also hoping every music lover is ordering Super Furry Animals Radiator which is easily one of the top twenty albums of the 90’s and a must have. B-sides are all great too.
URGENT UPDATE: I gave in and re-ordered them!
The Peter Gabriel film score half speed mastered LPs are out too. Got Passion / Passion Sources in the post today, superbly packed as ever by Real World. Passion gatefold is gorgeous
New Alice Cooper album as well this week!
And really important reissues are the black-vinyl editions of 4 Iron Maiden albums (Death On The Road (Live) 2LP / Flight 666 (Live) 2LP / The Final Frontier 2LP / En Vivo! (Live) 3LP) which are being released this friday.
I had the Pet Shop Boys ordered, but these are the first releases I have cancelled because I’m struggling to get excited by “new” versions of 3 uninspiring albums (imo Nightlife was a bit long winded, Release is just terrible (you know it’s true, I spent years defending it lol) and Fundamental was very cold (although had some great singles)
So I’m left with James and the turquoise Arcade Fire vinyl but I might have to get the cd now because…………..I WANT A TOTE BAG TOO!!!!!!
Pet Shop Boys take note, put your albums in tote bags and we’ll buy them lol
Think of the Release re-Release as the album plus the equivalent of three extra albums added. It’s over two and a half hours of extra material, most of it original tracks. Don’t ignore it.
I’ll have a listen if they go on Spotify (other streaming services are available lol)
I’m at a stage where I’m just not as excited about anynew Pet Shop Boys release (see what I did there?)
But album sleeve tote bags might be the future!
Looking forward to the PSB reissues.
If Warners had any sense, they should release it in time for Christmas
As Well new Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott albun “Croked Calypso” in 6 different formats. And yes, another superb álbum from the ex Beautiful South singers.
An absoultely one to enjoy…
It was said that the first PSB Further Listening albums were going to be re-released. Anyone know when that will be?
Warners haven’t said yet…
I’d pre-ordered both the Fairport and the V/A Manchester sets from importcds. I’ve been looking forward to both for a while. But I took advantage of their semi-annual 10% off sale to buy a ton of stuff last month, and now I’m swimming in discs I haven’t even listened to yet.
PSB obviously ….
That is excellent news regards the China Crisis Re-Issues :)
Get the Arcade Fire CD/vinyl with a FREE Tote bag from HMV! Lovely…
Mmmmm… tote bags
The first 3 China Crisis albums are up for preorder on Amazon release date 1st September no tracklistings yet.
Cheers for the tip, Neil. Particularly looking forward to an upgraded Flaunt The Imperfection!
Thanks for the info…been hoping for these albums to be reissued.
Pet Shop Boys and Sam Fox for me this week. Might get Bronski Beat as well.
New album from The Fall this week too – “New Facts Emerge”.
Thank for this info Caroline. Just been to Cherry Red to pre-order. Out this Friday! Good to see this is a double 10″ vinyl set as I have no more room for 12″ LP’s but do have a little room in my overflow box for 10″er’s!! Looking forward to this…
Great title! Great band.
