So glad I didn’t buy these awful vinyl rip reissues.
Happy about all the reissues with bonus tracks I want to ask what happened to the vinyl reissues of Cherrelle/High Priority, Alexander O’Neal/Hearsay – All Mixed up and S.O.S. Band/On the rise? Thanks to Demon Records and the fab idea of reissued all the Tabu catalogue.
Best regards.
Tabu re-born? A totally disappoining project. Many bonus tracks are vinyl transfers (and some transferred really bad too). I’ve been walking in the cloud for a month knowing these Tabu-albums were finally reissued with bonus mixes, but when it did, it turned out to be one disappointment after the other. Many mixes were available on previous compilation CD’s or CD singles, so I don’t understand that if you cannot find the master, you don’t use the CD’s! And if you need a little help from the hard core fans (who will have every CD release on their shelves) just ask them! No, Demon took some old vinyl instead. I hope Demon will NOT be able to clear the rights for the US, so maybe we get another chance with another record company in the future. They should go through the Tabu-vaults again!
Thanks for the info. And yes, if what you say is true then it’s very disappointing that these labels don’t work harder at finding the original master tapes or at least better sources than vinyl.
They could learn a thing or two from Ben Liebrand – as far as I know his “Grand 12-inches” series doesn’t have a single vinyl transfer, only original master tapes.
I really hope that these quality reissues are being released in America like they are in Europe. So far, I only see info about these albums on Amazon.uk or Barnes and Noble. S.O.S’s 1980 debut remastered and rebuffed and repackaged has been on my list for over 10 years…you know that will be purchased the day that hits the shelves. That was one of the 1st 12inch LPs my sister and I got (I was only 6 at the time) along w/ “Don’t Stop The Music”…a heckuva way to get introduced to 12inch singles!
I love all of these albums, but personally I don’t need every instrumental and dub that was released at the time. Having said that, I understand why they provide that for the completists among us. The article doesn’t mention it, but are these all remastered?
Hey John… Yes, remastered. This post might give you a good idea of how they sound… special promo mixes created by Demon
