New Wave Outpost Forum

With all of this talk of cd singles box sets, what would you like to see released? Here's my wish list:

The Pet Shop Boys - all the singles from their first album
Sandra - all the singles from her first three albums
Alphaville - all of the singles
Bananarama - all of the singles from the first two albums
Culture Club - all of the singles
The Cure - all of the singles before they made cd singles
Dead or Alive - all of the singles
OMD - all of the singles before they made cd singles
Pseudo Echo - all of the singles from Autumnal Park
Secession - all of their singles
Strawberry Switchblade - all of their singles
Visage - all of their singles

Excellent List & Great Topic.I will add,
All Their Singles In Boxset Form.
Red Flag
Celebrate The Nun
Book Of Love
Mission UK
New Order (Different from their Retro Boxset)
Oingo Boingo
Xymox
Frazier Chorus
Information Society

I think that they are overpriced and not worth the money at all. Put all the songs on 1-2 cds and include an authoritive booklet, instead of another box set to fill up a shelf.

hm, as I am a fan of those box sets, there is quite a few bands... as examples, I just want to mention:
A Flock Of Seagulls
Yazoo
Berlin
Camouflage

of course a major problem always is, if bands released on more than 1 label... hence it will be impossible to have a Xymox boxset for example (4 labels or so involved to licence stuff...) - with other bands almost all the stuff is available in some form and there is only very little stuff that hasn't been out on cd (like some extended mixes of The Cure) + it is always a thing to rebuy stuff again and again, which indeed just fills the space of a shelf - on othe other hand, I always love the design of those boxes, the little replica sleeves of the originals, very lovely - if it is done like the Duran or Blondie boxsets, much appreciated - the Depeche ones are nice as well, but shamefully especially the old ones lack of some mixes, so it is again not complete, which really s*cks...

All the Yazoo singles are available on CD, albeit individually, at least they are in the UK.

I'd echo the New Order box.

A Human League one would be great too.
