2010 Rolling Reissues Thread

...because otherwise I'll probably miss dozens of things being reissued.

F.J. McMahon "Spirit of the Golden Juice" reissue is out on Rev-Ola. It's really good loner folkness. Ian knows it.

aus post-punk:

m2 4 cd box set - "terrace industry" out on ascension records

and

wild west - "scratch another day (selected recordings 1980-81)" available from http://www.nonightsweats.com

from Lion Productions:

Heaven & Earth "Refuge" femme vocal folk/psych LP on the Ovation label, from master-tapes, with bonus—CD and LP

no release day specified, but this is surely promising.

the self-titled debut by '80s power-pop group Green (listed on that Lion Productions page) is also one to seek out.

yayyy heaven & earth reissue!!

nice to see the search party getting a legit re too

i thought the void records search party reissue was legit. oh well.

also interesting stuff on guerssen, though i'm not sure if these came out earlier on vinyl and the CDs are just coming out now - Schibbinz (cool, mellow garage folk-rock) and William Nowik "Pan Symphony in E Minor" (supposedly proggy/psychy super rarity, samples sound good).

and isolation ward anthology on LTM! samples of that sound pretty awesome too, dark postpunk with female vocals.

The Method Actors on Acute, followed by awesome vinyl/download releases from....

Props for SLaG.(ew i just noticed their abbreviation was slag)

This, you guys:

http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=7044

Excellent comp of East German 80s electronic rock and pop.

Hmmm.

just learned about these guys raymilland...sounding pretty cool for fans of new wave/post-punk

http://www.lastdaysofmanonearth.com/blog/?p=1156

"She's Got Medals" as in Bowie's first album "She's Got Medals"? Of all the songs to pick.

Yeah. Didn't even notice that at first. Sounds like a glam/pre-punk via new wave take on it.

the american version of Ha Ha Ha era Ultravox?

Oh wow, I never heard Raymilland before. Totally buying that.

saw this in other music's update, with typically bullshit review:

THE BEAUTIFUL LOSERS Nobody Knows the Heaven (Lion Productions)

label says:

To set the scene: it’s 1974, it’s Paris, two young guys in their bed-sit (one of whom is French music maven/famous producer Jay Alanski) are dreaming of counter-culture, and their internal versions of California and New York. The result is this album, a child begotten of Marc Bolan, Baudelaire, and Lautréamont; a fascinating record, subtle and engaging as it is scarce; the re-creation of a parallel pop universe which one Michael Moorcock wouldn’t have renounced. Somehow, the duo get their record out into the world on Monde Melody’s one-off "Silk" imprint (a tribute to Marc Bolan). And what twisted songs (in English) they managed to squeeze into a fifty-minute slab of vinyl. The music drips with deep nostalgia for the decadent "beautiful people" who lived and breathed and then found a home in the songs of Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen, pervaded throughout with a kind of psychedelic sadness. All of this is expressed by means of long jagged acid guitar runs (or in acoustic strums) supported by Moroccan percussion (bongos?) and heavy bass lines from Christophe J. A post-quaalude album, as band leader Jay Alanski has said. If the LP had been released in 1971, everyone would point to T-Rex as an influence, and call it "glam folk"; fast forward to today and it’s hard not to think "loner," and draw comparisons with the music of Devendra Banhart, albeit recorded 35 years ago! We’re now several decades further on in the world’s slow self-destruction, but this sole recording by the Beautiful Losers has lost nothing of its freshness and superb arrogance. Blessed be the listener who is going to discover such a hidden treasure!

Endtables reissue on drag city is great! also, really digging the reissue of rarepsychmonster *never mind* by damin eih, a.l.k. and brother clark on nero's neptune. gottpunch you need that if you don't have it already. sourced from vinyl but sounds awesome. there was a vinyl reissue but i don't think it sounded anywhere near as good. if i'm remembering correctly.

Bill Withers - 'Justments (1974) [Feb 16]

It's about time, a true soul classic nearly as great as his first two. Available now at Dusty Groove.

Wait, Endtables? The Endtables that did Process Of Elimination?

yup. from louisville. all their studio stuff from 1979 - which isn't much, 7 songs - and six live tracks. the live stuff is great.

live stuff also from 1979.

Wow I'll be getting that one then. Their singles go for stupid money

just wanna thank chuck again for sending me that X reissue on aztec! always wanted to hear them. wowee zowee do i love this thing! "suck suck" is just sooooo amazing.

(reissue of their first album and single. came out in 2008, so doesn't really belong here.)

i think it might come with a dvd too? the endtables thing. of live footage. i just got a promo of the cd.

still might enjoy that grong grong reissue best this year though. so great. and the dvd with that is just completely amazing. just the fact that a band not around that long would amass so much footage in 1983 and 1984...and its all so awesome too!

What's with Drag City rescuing all these bands from obscurity and not reissuing the Slovenly catalogue? I want Thinking of Empire on CD, now!

really digging the reissue of rarepsychmonster *never mind* by damin eih, a.l.k. and brother clark on nero's neptune. gottpunch you need that if you don't have it already.

oh hell yes, i do! i've had mp3s of it for a while - the orange doubledome reissue was v. expensive - so i'll have to find me a copy, i LOOOOOVE that record.

It came out in '09, but I'm not sure it was mentioned in the other thread — Universal finally did a Jorge Ben box, Salve Jorge!, with all of his Philips albums ('63-'75) and two discs of rarities. It's really expensive and based on what I've heard the mastering seems kinda squashed. A pity.

Madness - Absolutely [2CD] (1980) [Feb 16]
Madness - 7 [2CD] (1981) [Feb 16]

got official authorized reissues of 70's african psych albums by witch (*Lazy Bones!!*) and amanaz (*Africa*). shadoks did vinyl reissues but never paid anyone. now they have paid and shadoks parent company normal/q.d.k. is putting them out on cd. so great too. this is serious african psychedelia from zambia if you haven't heard them. the amanaz album is one of the best acid rock albums i've heard in years. And just so you know, WITCH stands for : We Intend To Cause Havoc.

Yeah, those are both great albums. And now that they're on CD ($16) instead of LP ($40+) I'll probably actually buy the suckers.

Catherine Wheel - Ferment (1992) [Mar 23]
The Colourfield - Virgins And Philistines (1985) [Mar 23]
The Colourfield - Deception (1987) [Mar 23]
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To Pleasuredome [2CD] (1984) [Feb 23]
Spandau Ballet - Journeys To Glory [2CD] (1981) [Mar 2]
Spandau Ballet - Diamond [2CD] (1982) [Mar 2]

just got the Raymilland LP in the mail. A Syd Barrett cover, No Good Trying, as well as the aforementioned Bowie cover.

big fan of the Amanaz rekkerd. the Witch LP (there's one more besides lazy bones, at least) didn't quite do it for me.
the shadoks LPs I want more are KAMIJO "Martha" and the Fingletoad, Strange & Siho double LP.

If any of you like techno at all, the Anthony "Shake" Shakir 3CD Frictionalism comp on Rush Hour is really, really good. Covers '90s through now, loads of variety, totally enjoyable.

the complete and uncut T.A.M.I. show finally out on DVD (March 23)

here's a blog post I did discussing 4 recent reissues and including selections from them. The releases are Flaming Tunes, Tape #1, Interference and Raymilland...

Catherine Wheel - Ferment (1992) [Mar 23]

?!

This was mentioned in passing on some other thread but figured I'd post here as it's really blown me away. Like an alternate history if Cabaret Voltaire, the Human League, Soft Cell and others had never hit the big time in the '80s, and were instead doomed to record on four-tracks and release their classics unheard. Or at least that's how I romanticize it in my head...

http://www.minimalwave.org/site/modules/catalog/images/The%20Minimal%20Wave%20Tapes%202LP.jpg

that comp is awesome. i literally know nothing about that style, i was similarly blown away.

also grinding my teeth waiting for the raymilland reissue to show up in the mail.

I like the Schibbinz album that Guerssen (and Anthology) put out. Really good teenage garage folk-rock.

hay tim! yeah, i dug that one, too. really charming and kinda sweet.

also got the raymilland five minutes after i posted about it this morning. love it.

Sweet, fancy Moses, these are AMAZING.

A lot of minimal wave stuff has come to the fore in recent years through blogs like Mutant Sounds, though it is nice to have a comp like that to provide a more formal entry into the field.

First track on the Minimal Wave comp:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWOiChDfWhU

Columbus Discount has reissued a select compilation of early Nudge Squidfish stuff. It was originally the first Old Age/No Age release, I think. Want! In fact, I thought I already ordered it, but I clearly didn't finish the job, cause there's been no sign of it. Need to check paypal logs...

For those of you in the NYC area, they are showing the TAMI show movie in advance of the DVD release...right now!!!

After spending some time comparing it to vinyl, I'm really impressed by the (download only, via facebook) Rat At Rat R remaster of their first album that just came out.

Kinda slow right now.

Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R [2CD] Aug 3
Slowdive - Just For A Day [2CD] Aug 10
Slowdive - Souvlaki [2CD] Aug 10
Slowdive - Pygmalion [2CD] Aug 10

Are the Slowdive extra tracks just the singles all over again? (The Pygmalion tracks could be of interest...)

Yeah I was going to say, didn't Souvlaki and Just For A Day come out a few years ago with an extra disc?

*Slowdive, "Pygmalion (featuring a bonus disc of demos and unreleased music)" (Cherry Red) 2xCD according to Brainwashed.

http://www.cherryred.co.uk/cherryred/artists/slowdive.php

Tracklist.

Something I wrote about late '09/'10 reissue albums by the Endtables, Tin Huey, Pistol Whip, Method Actors, Raymilland, Easter Monkeys, Tutu and the Pirates, Da-Exclamation Point, Pylon, and Kevin Dunn:

http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-07-13/music/the-endtables-emerge-at-last

The Railway Children - Recurrence 88 Aug 31
The Railway Children - A Native Place 90 Aug 31

I kept confusing them in my memory with The Rain Parade. I may have heard some during college, but not sure. Reviews of these albums are extremely dismissive in Allmusic and Trouser Press. The gist is, pretty, jangly music influenced by The Smiths and Aztec Camera, but lacking decent songs, hooks, personality. Anyone have a different take on that?

Sounds about right from what I remember

they're both competent jangly pop records with a couple of really good tracks but neither holds a candle to 'reunion wilderness' which is a classic of the genre

Morrissey - Bona Drag Oct 5

Bruce Springsteen - The Promise: The Darkness On The Edge of Town Story [3CD, 3Blu-ray] Nov 16

"Darkness was my 'samurai' record," Springsteen writes, "stripped to the frame and ready to rumble.” But the music that got left behind was substantial.

This extraordinary deluxe package comprises nearly six hours of film and more than two hours of audio across 3 CDs and 3 DVDs. It comes with an 80-page notebook containing facsimiles from Springsteen's original notebooks from the recording sessions, which include alternate lyrics, song ideas, recording details, and personal notes in addition to a new essay by Springsteen on the album and never-before-seen photographs.

The Deluxe Package also features The Promise: The Making of 'Darkness on the Edge of Town,' a documentary directed by Grammy- and Emmy-winning filmmaker Thom Zimny. The ninety-minute film combines never-before-seen footage of Springsteen and the E Street Band shot between 1976 and 1978, including home rehearsals and studio sessions with new interviews with Springsteen, E Street Band members, manager Jon Landau, former-manager Mike Appel, and others closely involved in the making of the record.

In addition, the set features more than four hours of live concert film from the Thrill Hill Vault, including the bootleg house cut (the footage that appeared on-screen at the concert) from a 1978 Houston show, and a 2009 performance of Darkness on the Edge of Town in its entirety from Asbury Park. The special performance in Asbury Park was shot in HD without an audience and successfully recreates the stark atmosphere of the original album.

The Deluxe Package also includes Darkness on the Edge of Town, digitally remastered for the first time, as well as the 2 CD set The Promise: The Lost Sessions from Darkness On The Edge Of Town. The two discs contain a total of 21 previously-unreleased songs from the 'Darkness' recording sessions, songs that, as Springsteen writes, "perhaps could have/should have been released after Born To Run and before the collection of songs that Darkness on the Edge of Town became." Highlights include the extraordinary rock version of "Racing in the Street," the never-before-released original recordings of "Because the Night," "Fire," and "Rendezvous," the supreme pop opus "Someday (We'll Be Together)," the hilarious "Ain't Good Enough for You," the superb soul-based vocal performance on "The Broken Hearted," the utterly haunting "Breakaway," and the now finally released, fully orchestrated masterpiece and title song, "The Promise." All 21 songs have been mixed by Springsteen's long-time collaborator, Bob Clearmountain. According to long-time manager/producer Jon Landau, "There isn't a weak card in this deck. The Promise is simply a great listening experience."

Ted Lucas album's being reissued on CD. Korean label called Riverman. I will assume it's a boot but buy it anyway because I can't afford an original. And I've never seen one for sale in a shop.

The Jam - Sound Affects Deluxe Edition [2CD] Nov 1
Syl Johnson - Complete Mythology 1959-70 [4CD+6LP] Oct 19

Rhino releasing 2-CD Shoot Out the Lights.
Bonus disc includes live performances from 1982 U.S. tour.

looks great, annoying that it'll probably be $40, since it's a rhino handmade deal.

Why not just release that separately? This kind of stuff bugs the shit out of me.

yeah, pretty weak. but those 82 performances will be good, i like the bootlegs from that era. are handmade things available on itunes? or not.

Small Town Romance is awesome. Probably my favorite post-Pours Down Like Silver Thompson thing.

yeah, that is a great record. glad the version of "i'm a dreamer" is on this -- totally stunning, maybe the best ever linda vocal.
funny that they're still refusing to put out the original "rafferty" version of shoot out the lights. richard must really dislike it.

Got the bowie vinyl box here. Beautiful beautiful set and the Nassau show is spectacular. Probably not worth the money for the uber set though unless money's no object, the CD set has the majority of the content.

The three new John Lennon remasters i've heard recently have sounded good too, nice packaging on those.

I bought Plastic Ono Band, which is nice, but haven't heard the rest.

hahahahaha more fall reissues

I picked up the Gimmie Some Truth remaster collection. Sounds great, and outside Plastic Ono Band it's all the solo Lennon I'll ever need.

Apparently, Cherry Pop will start reissuing the Five Star catalogue from November onwards. A fine underrated 80s band.

Also, it occurs that the original plan not to reissue "Mad Not Mad" has been scrapped. A 25th anniversary edition was issued this week.

The Fall - Live At The Witch Trials [2CD] Oct 12

Wait a FOUR disc version? What the hell.

hard to trust the dude quoted on the label's website for that reissue.

Thin Lizzy [2CD]
Thin Lizzy - Shades Of A Blue Orphanage [2CD]
Thin Lizzy - Vagabonds Of The Western World [2CD]

Looks like these came out, at least in the UK, on the 11th. I've been looking for the double of Vagabonds since it was supposedly released in dbl deluxe version in Japan, but had no luck finding it. Freakin' love that album.

Turns out Thin Lizzy was delayed again until Nov 16.

The Church - Seance 84 [2CD] Nov 16
The Church - Heyday 86 [2CD] Nov 16

The Ted Lucas LP reissued on Yoga is legit, and great.

Those Church reissues don't have anything that hasn't already appeared before, right?

If they're the ones on Second Motion, no. They're the same as the Aussie reissues, just much cheaper since they're not imported.

Ooooh want the Ted Lucas!

this Nile Rodgers Presents The Chic Organization Box Set Vol 1 is some serious heat.

Salvo are saying in their newsletter that they will continue releasing the ZTT catalogue in 2011.
But exactly how much is there left to reissue? The ZTT catalogue isn't

Sure, there is the complete Art Of Noise, out of which only the debut album is available at all right now. There are also the sophomore slumps by Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Propaganda, if anyone is interested in them. But is there anything else at all?

for a starters : Nasty Rox Inc. cd edition.

and i know they found the masters, and lots of extras to make a boxset.

however, the concern is that beyond me, there is no demand for such an item

Also, I'd love to get the Anne Pigalle album in remastered form.

The Light in the Attic re-issue of Jim Sullivan's "U.F.O." is really awesome, with an incredible and haunting booklet that discusses his sad disappearance.

The Light in the Attic re-issue of Jim Sullivan's "U.F.O." is really awesome, with an incredible and haunting booklet that discusses his sad disappearance.

makes mental note, again, to pick this up.
really want to hear this.

re ZTT.

the barrel scraping continues :

http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Art-Of-The-12/release/2408199

one unreleased Nasty Rox Inc. remix will mean i will be getting this.

Actually still hoping for Art Of Noise. Having at least their first two albums released with bonus 12" singles and all would be really great. The second album is also currently not available from what I know.

there are troubles with the China records era of the Art of Noise material.
lost master tapes and suchlike, so the chances of proper re-releases of that stuff is somewhat unlikely.

These were my favorites this year. The list was made before I bought Love of Life Orchestra and Googie & Tom Coppola's Shine the Light of Love (obv), and there's more that I need to get.

14. VA - Happy Days: Original Disco & Funk Joints Remastered, Vols 1-4 (Sony)
15. VA - Liquid Sunshine: Easy Listening from the KPM 1000 Series 1970-78 (Dutton Vocalion)

Personally I think 2010 has been a really excellent year for the Cherry Red family. Not that they were bad before that either, but things really took off this year. Highlighs include "The Dollar Album" by Dollar, "Listen" by A Flock of Seagulls", Tony Banks' "A Curious Feeling", the first two albums by Five Star and a big part of Camel's back catalogue.

And gotta add Salvo's fine take on Madness' 80s catalogue as well.
