NewsOut This Week / on 6 October 2017
a-ha / Summer Solstice: MTV Unplugged (various editions)
Very much looking forward to this a-ha acoustic album. So many formats, but the ‘fanbox’ is really the one to go for, but you should go direct to Amazon Germany for the best price on that particular format. 
Liam Gallagher / As You Were (new album)
Liam Gallagher issues his first solo album, As You Were this week. The deluxe CD edition adds three bonus tracks.
Pentangle / The Albums
Delayed by a week, this is a new seven-CD box set featuring albums and unreleased material from folk’s first ‘supergroup’ Pentangle.

A purple vinyl reissue of the Thompson Twins‘ fifth studio album Here’s To Future Days which was released in 1985. Features the hit singles Lay Your Hands On Me, Don’t Mess With Doctor Dream and Revolution.

Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach / Painted From Memory (SACD)
Mobile Fidelity SACD reissue of Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach‘s exceptional 1998 album Painted From Memory. As usual, not cheap.

Sony celebrate the 20th anniversary of Mariah Carey‘s 1997 album Butterfly with a ‘collector’s edition’ 12-inch vinyl picture disc.
Whitesnake / 1987
The box set of the reissue of Whitesnake /1987 has gone back to 27 October. Amazon and HMV are still showing this week for the vinyl and two-CD edition, but there’s a chance they’ll go back too.

- • UK Order: Just A Little Love (CD)

Steven Wilson / Hand.Cannot.Erase.
‘Mid-price’ reissue of Steven Wilson‘s 2014 album. If you’re new to Wilson via the new record, To The Bone, this is better.

Cancelled my Amazon order and ordered it direct from the mofi site and it arrived yesterday and is absolutely delicious!!!! Yes on an SACD player it beats the pants off of the original disc from 19 years ago. I can’t even describe it it’s that great.
Now the date’s changed to this coming friday.
Re: Elvis and Burt – I ordered this on October 3rd (AMZ US) at which time the release date was Oct 6 — now the release date is Oct 13 (already in the past) but it has not shipped and the main entry for the item says “temporarily unavailable”
I added that Summer Solstice [CD + Blu Ray] yesterday to my basket on Amazon and it was £24. Today i went to check out and it has jumped to £29.94. I’m sorry but they can shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.
I find it quite bizarre that the so called ‘Mid-price’ reissue of Hand.Cannot.Erase. is actually more expensive than the original release.
Are we sure Paul that the Elvis and Burt SACD will be out? Music Direct which usually has this listed and ready to ship before Amazon.com, has it as TBD still.
Do agree. Prefer SW’s Hand.Cannot.Erase over To The Bone easily.
Also out are limited editions of a 4 track vinyl and CD of Living In Fear from Marillion which features a “radical” mix of Living In Fear, one part of The Leavers live and 2 tracks from forthcoming retail reissues of Marillion’s band label issues.

[Replace .co.uk with your territory’s domain suffix (i.e. .com, .ca, .de, etc.] Canadian and US and maybe others delayed until the 13th.
There’s also what looks like a great Replacements live album out on Friday as well.
@ Mr John Collins – it is a superb offering in the Mats official catalog. I’ve owned the bootleg for years and am still buying this knowing it’s origin is from better/the best sources. Here’s hoping the band open the vaults!
Hey Paul, are you doing this alone or do you have a few helping hands?
I just received an email from Amazon stating the Whitesnake set is getting pushed back until late October.
You forgot P!nk’s first 3 albums on vinyl released this Friday too.
On coloured vinyl too!
