Thompson Twins " Remixes & Rarities" 2cd set

[Surly]

I snagged a signed copy at the LA date last week. I think I got one of the last ones (for that particular show; I think they pack a certain amount for each date) because the guy in front of me bought 4 copies and he wanted to inspect the autographs before purchasing. He's probably going to sell them on eBay. There were just 2 copies left after that guy; the rest were sealed. It's a great package - cool liner notes and great sound. I could have done without some of the instrumental tracks, but that's my only complaint.

I also wanted to buy Howard's One to One box set , but that was sold out. Bummer. Any way the TT cd is keeping me pretty happy. It's by far the best collection so far.

Omar: drop me a note, I have a One to One box set for sale.

I actually ordered one thru Howard's webshop yesterday finally . Thanks though.

I've been impressed with the copy I picked up at the SLC show. eLeMeNOhPeaQ, great to hear from you ... remember that thread in the defunct other board we worked on for so long? Sounds like youmanaged to recreate it!

[omar]

I'm also very happy with my remixes & rarities cds. It's kinda still strange that they were available two months prior to their official release at the various shows. By the way that online Complete Singles collection from a few years ago was excellent .

Hiya mojowkn! Wow, I do remember that thread. A lot of time went into that. No pics here, though...just what wasn't released on CD or digitally prior to the new Remixes & Rarities compilation.

By the way that online Complete Singles collection from a few years ago was excellent .

I put together a 2 disc set, The Definitive Singles Collection, which included all of Thompson Twins' single versions (UK and US versions where appropriate), a few promo edits (Hold Me Now, Doctor! Doctor! and The Gap) which I re-created from digital sources), a couple key album tracks (If You Were Here and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?), the 4 Babble singles and Babble's last song (Dark Raven, edited by myself) released with The Passion Magazine in 1998. Is that the one you're talking about?

[omar]

Yes, definitely . Thanks a lot . I noticed that there were two rips of Watching (7"), one with more bass and the other with more treble. I loved the remastering. It must have been a labor of love as all the tracks sounded perfect . If they were to ever put out a definitive cd collection I hope they use your versions.

I ordered two signed copies the first of which turned up yesterday!

[omar]

And? What did you think of the sound quality? I love my cds. They're expertly done. I'm hoping that a similar 7" collection is released soon. In all the previous collections we often get stuck with album versions.

[Neil Kelly]

Yes it sounds great to me! I also await any further TT comps and will happily purchase them all. Still awaiting the second copy getting a bit worried now. I know Tom has been busy and possibly didn't sign enough before his travels. He's announced another headlining festival in 2015! I want a full UK tour though with a 1.5-2 hour set including Judy do, Politics and many more!

this is under $10 on amazon now, a good price to get it for.
