The Reissue Thread

[sweetcell]

Hello citizens of the world and beyond.

Once again all may rejoice and celebrate the deluxe and multi- faceted re-release of Hello Nasty.

Please check this link for details on the plethora of previously unreleased material (seriously though - practically an entire record of unheard cuts):

The patch that comes with the deluxe vinyl version will make your grand ma's knitting circle jealous and on and on.

Listening to the remaster of TJL's Goat. It's a big improvement.

You can kind of almost make out what David's screaming about, now.

Not exactly the appropriate thread, but I just read the Flaming Lips will do a track by track remake of Dark Side of the Moon.

Not sure how I feel about this, but definately can't wait to hear it!

Unreleased Arthur Lee and Love

Love Lost was recorded in 1971, during a brief, little-known period during which Love was signed to Columbia Records. Lee and the then-current Love lineup?bassist Frank Fayad, guitarist Craig Tarwater and drummer Don Poncher?recorded an album?s worth of new material for the label. But after the band left the company, the recordings sat unreleased and unheard until now. The material on Love Lost?comprised of the unreleased Columbia sessions, plus five unreleased acoustic demos from the same period?captures Love in a transitional phase, charting the next step in Lee?s idiosyncratic musical trajectory, following the lush garage-psychedelia of the classics Da Capo and Forever Changes, and the bluesier direction of the hardrocking
False Start and Out Here.

"My Little Red Book" was playing in a dream I had a couple days ago. I have no recollection whatsoever of what I was doing or where I was in the dream. That was the only thing I remembered upon waking up.

pitchfork: this is a perfect album

This is probably right up Kosmo's alley.

From Sublime Frequencies:
"Dara Puspita (Flower Girls) was arguably the world?s greatest all-female garage rock band. The reason you?ve probably never heard of them was that they
came from Indonesia where they were extremely popular during the 1960s. Their career spanned from 1965 until 1973 including 3 years (1969-1971) living
and touring in Europe. The four albums recorded by the original members between 1966 and 1968 (the material represented on this CD) is one of the great
chapters of 1960s popular music history never to be reissued, let alone recognized beyond a few tuned-in souls and adventurous record collectors in the
Western world. Twenty-six of their most spectacular tracks (from the albums Jang Pertama, Special Edition, Green Green Grass, and A-Go-Go) are now finally
available to hear in this essential release.

Dara Puspita formed in their hometown of Surabaya in 1964. After relocating to Jakarta, the group began to create quite a stir with their wild stage shows.
Their local performances were attended by teenagers grooving to the band?s raw garage rock sound. The first all-female Indonesian pop group that could
play their instruments and sing, Dara Puspita also attracted the attention of Indonesian president Sukarno who labeled Western rock music ?a form of mental
disease?. In 1965 (an eventful and critical year for the group), the girls endured a month long interrogation by the government for performing ?outlawed?
rock and roll music, became the house band in a Bangkok nightclub for three months, and were introduced to Dick Tamimi of Mesra records, the man who would
launch their recording career. The tracks featured in this compilation were recorded at the height of Dara Puspita?s popularity during the immediate post-communist
era of General Suharto?s new order; a time when Indonesia?s musicians and artists were finally capable of launching their own creative renaissance.

This collection is guaranteed to appeal to all fans of the beat a-go-go era of the mid-late 1960s and is a significant missing piece of the global pop
music history puzzle. Every single track is a classic, the sound quality is superb, and it should only take one listen to become completely addicted to
and charmed by this legendary Indonesian group. Tri-fold Digipack CD with 20 page booklet featuring rare & unseen photos provided by Dara Puspita for this
specific reissue project and extensive liner notes of the band?s phenomenal history by Alan Bishop."



Between this, the most recent Omar Khorshid comp and all the Omar Souleyman stuff they have released over the last couple years, Sublime Frequencies are on a hell of a hot streak.

has anyone heard any updates on the 69 Love Songs vinyl reissue?

my fiancee got this for me for my birthday but it looks like the release date is just constantly delayed

I finally got this about a month ago.  It's awesome.  Not sure it's worth $99 though.

new old QOTSA:

ACCLAIMED QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE ALBUM "RATED R" REISSUED IN TWO-CD DELUXE EDITION WITH B-SIDES AND READING FESTIVAL CONCERT

One of Rolling Stone's top 100 albums of the decade, Rated R from Queens Of The Stone Age marks its 10th anniversary with the expanded, two-CD Rated R - Deluxe Edition (Interscope/UMe), released August 3, 2010. Added to the original album is a second disc with six B-sides and the band's memorable summer 2000 Reading Festival concert--featuring nine previously unreleased songs, including live versions of Rated R's "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer," "The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret," "Better Living Through Chemistry" and "Quick And To The Pointless."

The B-sides are "Ode To Clarissa"; "You're So Vague," a spoof of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain"; covers of Romeo Void's "Never Say Never" and the Kinks' "Who'll Be The Next In Line"; a live version of the album's "Monsters In The Parasol"; and a re-recording of "Born To Hula," an early QOTSA song. The other Reading Festival tracks are concert takes on "Ode To Clarissa," three songs from the band's debut album ("Regular John," "Avon" and "You Can't Quit Me, Baby"), and "Millionaire," a song originally from Josh Homme side project Desert Sessions.

To celebrate its 20th Anniversary, on 27th September, EMI will release through the resurrected 1960s Major Minor label, with Morrissey's full cooperation, a remastered Special Edition of Bona Drag.
Originally released to much acclaim in October 1990, Bona Drag perfectly captures Morrissey's effortless transition in becoming a solo artist. It brings together his exceptional first seven singles, four of which went Top 10: his triumphant Top 5 debut, "Suedehead"; the anthemic, apocalyptic lament to wet seaside towns, "Everyday Is Like Sunday"; "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys"; and "Interesting Drug". The Top 20s "Ouija Board, Ouija Board", "November Spawned A Monster", and "Piccadilly Palare" and a selection of high quality b-sides from the singles complete the album.
The compilation has now been remastered and overseen by Morrissey, and is updated with the addition of six previously unreleased and much coveted songs from the era:
- "Happy Lovers At Last United"
(Outtake from "Sunday" sessions)
- "Lifeguard On Duty"
(Outtake from Viva Hate sessions)
- "Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness" (demo)
(Outtake from Viva Hate, previously covered by Sandie Shaw)
- "Oh Phoney"
(Outtake from Bona Drag sessions)
- "The Bed Took Fire" (early version of "At Amber")
- "Let The Right One Slip In" (alternate long mix)
Directing the artwork for the reissue, Morrissey has chosen to return the cover art - taken from the "November" video - back to its natural colour, so his shirt is black. In addition, he has also decided to update the back and inner artwork with a selection of favourite, hand-picked and rarely-seen photos.
The LP version will be a double heavyweight 180g vinyl, housed in a wide-spine sleeve with a pull-out poster. The CD will be housed in a gatefold, card sleeve with an eight-page booklet, which will contain the aforementioned photos.

   The Jam 'Sound Affects' - 30th Anniversary Edition Out November 1st

The Jam's seminal 1980 album 'Sound Affects' is being re-released in a digitally-remastered, Deluxe Edition this autumn to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Hailed by Paul himself as the band's finest work, 'Sound Affects' spawned two of The Jam's biggest hits in 'That's Entertainment' and 'Start!' and is widely regarded as one of the band's most experimental works.

Paul, who cites 'Sound Affects' as an influence for this year's acclaimed 'Wake Up The Nation', said last month: "I still feel it was our best record. There are loads of other things I like, but as an overall body work, I thought it was great. To me, it still sounds fresh."
