Fleetwood Mac / Tango in the Night (reissue)
The very long-awaited reissue of Fleetwood Mac‘s Tango in the Night is finally released this week. The super deluxe adds remixes, hi-res DVD and vinyl to the remastered CD and disc of unreleased demos and outtakes. 
The Doors / 50th anniversary super deluxe edition
The Doors‘ 1967 debut is reissued as a 50th anniversary super deluxe edition. This comes with a remastered version of the original stereo mix, the mono mix on CD for the first time and a rare live performance.
Bob Dylan / Triplicate (reissue)
Bob Dylan continues his fascination with the Great American Songbook with this new triple album, which is available as a snazzy 3LP deluxe vinyl package.
Johnny Cash / The Original Sun Album 1957 – 1964
This 60th anniversary 8CD Johnny Cash set brings together all seven classic Sun albums along with a bonus disc of rarities.
Neil Diamond / 50th Anniversary Collection (3CD)
Fifty Neil Diamond songs collected on this new 50th anniversary collection, which spans – you guessed it – 50 years.
Deacon Blue / Live at the Glasgow Barrowlands (2CD+DVD)
Live At The Glasgow Barrowlands is a Deacon Blue live album recorded on the last night of last year’s Believers tour. Available on a number of formats including 2CD+DVD combo.
Uriah Heep / Demons and Wizards (2CD)
Following the expanded and remastered reissues of Uriah Heep‘s first two albums, BMG issue double CD deluxe sets of the next three, including 1972’s Demons and Wizards which comes with 14 unreleased tracks.
- • UK Order: Demons and Wizards (2CD)
- • USA Order:Demons and Wizards (2CD)
- • GERMANY Order:Demons and Wizards (2CD)
Level 42 / Lessons in Love: The Essential
Whether 48 tracks really constitute ‘essential’ Level 42 is a moot point. The world really doesn’t need another Level 42 compilation and even if you are in the market for one, you’d be far better off spending a bit more on the Collected compilation. Similar Big Country and Fairport Convention three-CD sets are also issued this week.
- • UK Order: The Essential Level 42
- • USA Order: The Essential Level 42
- • GERMANY Order: The Essential Level 42
Altered Images / Bite (vinyl reissue)
Altered Images‘ 1983 album was produced by Mike Chapman and Tony Visconti. This vinyl reissue is great value and comes with a bonus white seven-inch single which features the seven-inch version of Don’t Talk To Me About Love b/w Love to Stay.
Various Artists / Twelve-Inch Seventies: More, More, More
Record labels have more or less exhausted 1980s remix compilations, so Twelve-Inch Seventies is a 3CD look at long versions of 1970s dance floor classics.
- • UK Order: Twelve-Inch Seventies: More, More, More
- • USA Order: Twelve-Inch Seventies: More, More, More
- • GERMANY Order: Twelve-Inch Seventies: More, More, More
The Vibrators / The Epic Years (1976-78)
Fans will derive much pleasure from this Vibrators four CD box which includes all of the UK punk bands’ recordings for Epic, including sessions for the BBC.

Hey Paul… why so much silence about Uriah Heep? “Look at Yourself” has to be the most wonderful CD reissue I’ve ever seen, packaging-wise. I was awestruck when I saw it in the store. They actually made it a mirror so you can “look at yourself”, like the original LP!
On a site that celebrates packaging and physical releases, this should get more attention IMO…
having received the tando in the night super deluxe box I was a bit deflated cheap looking describes it when compared to the George micheal faith box set this is just awful sliding cds into the vinyl sleeve is lazy at best. if I want to play the vinyl I don’t want to have to 4 discs in pockets in the sleeve the whole box itself isn’t much bigger than a decent gatefold album sleeve
Yeah, I remember last year there was a crazy – and I mean, CRAZY – sale on Amazon Canada, where Bear Family sets were cheap, Big Break Records, Edsel, Cherry Pop, FunkyTownGrooves and Japanese CDs were less than $5 (Canadian) each and they wouldn’t ship internationally. Luckily I live in Canada so I was fortunate to take advantage of the sales.
On the downside, for us Canadians, Amazon Canada is hit and miss when it comes to new releases being in stock. I highly doubt the Tango in the Night box set will be in stock. Sometimes it takes a few weeks to come in stock.
@ Kauwgompie – re Amazon Canada.
I too have the same problem. Have ordered things in the past shipping to Oz but now won’t let me. Initially, I thought they may have just stopped shipping large items like box sets due to weight, but won’t even let me order a CD??? Strange though, they still quote international shipping rates for CD’s etc on their help pages. Weird?
And as well we got the new Jamiroquai album “Automaton” on double lp, cd and a Deluxe Limited Mint Pack cd that offers same content (12 songs) and extra goes with a code to access some multimedia exclusives: Videos, interviews, pics, access to some promotions, etc etc etc…
Fairport celebrate their 50th anniversary this year and are a band who have been generously compiled over the years.
I see Sparks have announced a new album and various bundles available on their website.

I’m still hoping they will release the proper A.D.S.C. Remix of ‘To Be With You Again” (6’04”). They have put the dub version of the A.D.S.C. mix (5’45”) on two releases now while labeling it the regular remix. May be Blank & Jones can release the proper mix on their next volume of So80s….One of the only official Level 42 remixes that has not been properly released on CD as far as I know.
That mix seems destined NEVER to get issued on CD :)
Apparently the reason why they always mess that up is because the track length is printed wrong on the original sleeve. If you look at the sleeve thru the link below it has 5′.45″ printed on it in big letters, letting people believe that the 5’45” mix was the main version. 5:45 is the playingtime of the dub mix. The A.D.S.C. extended mix plays for 6:04. Apparently the time mix up caused the wrong version (Dub) to appear on the 2000 re-issue of the Running In The Family album and another Level 42 collection album.
If that is true, the good news is that it wasn’t because they couldn’t find the original master and just labeled the dub mix as the Extended version. So hopefully the master is still out there and Blank & Jones can once and for all release that mix on so80s!! But yes, I won’t be holding my breath ;-)

Strange compilation indeed and i was hoping that the third disc would have some remixes or rarities but it just looks like a mish mash of singles and album tracks. Oh well i only paid £5.99 for it so it’s no great loss.
Just giving my fave band a plug, Paul. Cheers and that.
Not a problem… P
I will be doing an unboxing of the CD set of Let The Dancers Inherit The Party by the mighty British Sea Power on Friday or soon after. I’m not showing it to you lot though!
And here endeth the British Sea Power ‘banter’…
Will you be doing an unboxing of ‘Tango’ on Friday Paul? Bit frustrated there is no MP3 rip for this on Amazon. At nearly £50 there should be one! Cheers.
There will be an unboxing of ‘Tango’ either on Friday or soon after…
Just picked up The Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl on vinyl from HMV for £14.99, same offer as Amazon UK have on it right now and £10 less than it has been going for in both places since release last November.
For $8, I’ll take a punt on the Level 42 collection.
Well of course the most exciting album of the week (if not the year) is Let The Dancers Inherit The Party by the mighty British Sea Power. Thanks for pointing that out, Mark. Fleetwood Mac? Pah!
Might have to pull the trigger on ‘Tango In The Night’ as I waited for Tusk to price drop and it never did. The cheapest copy i can find these days is just shy of £100 – Unless anyone knows any different?
Amazon.it have Tusk for just under 80 euros
I was trying for the same. I saw Tusk on Amazon Canada for around $70 for a while but when I wanted to buy it, it told me that Amazon.ca would not ship to the USA (I’m in NYC). I don’t know if people in Europe have the same problem but I also tried it with a different product (can’t remember what it was) and it told me the same. Weird because I’m pretty sure I bought from them at some point. May be they changed their policy?
I did not see Tusk on sale anywhere else the past year. Eventually I bought it for $85 including shipping from Amazon USA. It’s a bit strange because Rumors you can pick up $45 and it only has 1 fewer cd. Tusk is not moving in price at all.
Tango is not that expensive. I’m waiting a bit to see if it drops in price to around $45 eventually. I don’t think it will run out of print. These Fleetwood mac boxes are pretty widely available although “The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions” sold out pretty quickly. But you can still get it under $50 mostly.
To me, the most exciting release this coming Friday is Let The Dancers Inherit The Party by British Sea Power, which is available in standard cd, vinyl, deluxe double vinyl, and cd box set editions.
It’s a rainy Monday morning in NYC, still sore from campout with my son’s boyscout troop this past weekend, in the train to work. What is there to look forward to on a day like this? Oh yeah, Paul’s “Out This Week”. More than enough to get me through Monday morning, especially with Fleetwood Mac’s Tango SDE release! Price is not bad at all (HMV, Amazon FR & IT). May be I’ll buy right away without waiting for Paul’s Deal Alert? Things to decide on a Monday morning. Thanks Paul for all you do!
And while I’m here, noticed this yesterday… Star Wars Force Awakens on Cassette! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Wars-Force-Awakens-CASSETTE/dp/B01GIUOMXQ (available cheaper from other sellers).
Goldfrapp: Silver Eye – Limited Edition Clear Vinyl + Postcards only available from their online store.
https://www.musicglue.com/goldfrapp/products/silver-eye-limited-edition-clear-vinyl-plus-postcards-2
Postcards, yes, exclusive to their store. But the clear vinyl is widely available.
I bought that Level 42 the other day and it’s already been dispatched yet i still can’t find a track listing for it.
*The Bob Dylan release isn’t a reissue.
Also, I’m hoping that labels haven’t exhausted ’80s remix compilations — though there certainly have been a lot of them!
Proving to be a wallet busting March for me. Looking forward to TITN hot on the heals of the deluxe FITD which I caved in on and bought. What a beauty that is packaging wise and all is almost forgiven as that third CD contains the best extras since Macca 2 disc 2.
Thanks for the rcommendation. I decided to hold off based on the ridiculous price combined with the decision to go download-only for part of the content, and will wait for the inevitable cheap copies later–but it’s good to hear it’s worth waiting for!
@revroth, TBH, couldn’t resist after Paul’s excellent In Their Own Words article. Hang in there, but I guarantee you won’t be disappointed when you eventually get it. Its up there with Ram in terms of presentation IMHO.
The album version of Don’t Talk To Me About Love is brilliant. I wonder if the right mix will be on there…
Paul wheres uk link for tango super deluxe
Currently not available on Amazon UK for some reason…
Saw that over at Amazon over the weekend Paul, but HMV still have it. I went to Amazon direct as I saw your SDE price widget was missing a link to it from Amz’ UK, but to double check there was also no UK widget link to Manics SATT either. Gremlins in the works?
no, it wasn’t on the widget, simply because it wasn’t on Amazon. There were however a few widget gremlins which didn’t cause a few issues, however everything should be okay now :)
It is on Amazon, because I can open the link on my wish/watchlist.
And when I go to THIS listing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tango-Night-Expanded-Fleetwood-Mac/dp/B01MR5ECNO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1490672582&sr=8-1&keywords=fleetwood+mac+tango&linkCode=ll1&tag=superdeluxeed-21&linkId=9878adc09b99ebf7156c03f362cc05c9 and click on Audio CD in the Product Details/Other Editions, I get taken to this page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tango-Night-Deluxe-VINYL-Fleetwood/dp/B01N10BKUF/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=superdeluxeed-21&linkId=c908274e9491305ae67d75d3c5b40207
It seems to be a gremlin with the search engine – if you select “All Departments” in search it won’t show up, but if you select “CDs & Vinyl” it will.
Thanks. I’m aware that it’s back on Amazon. It has been on the widget again since earlier yesterday morning.
Goldfrapp release their seventh album Silver Eye on Friday, 10 tracks but no deluxe version though…
There are Special Editions on Goldfrapps website – Signed CD, Clear Vinyl etc
They are releasing it on a limited edition clear vinyl, along with CD and standard vinyl. All were available earlier signed. Compared to some of the coverage of new releases, that should be enough to merit a “deluxe” label (though not to criticize Paul by any means – there’s simply no way he could cover everything we’re all interested in). I’m looking forward to it!
