New Wave Outpost Forum

For starters:

1) Sinead O'Connor - The Lion and the Cobra CD with bonus tracks: Mandinka 12", and 12" remixes of Put Your Hands on Me, particularly the remix featuring MC Lyte.

2) Annabella - Fever CD with bonus tracks: 12" mixes of War Boys, 12" mixes of Don't Dance with Strangers, and "Passion Play" from the Thief of Hearts soundtrack.

3) Dead or Alive - Youthquake CD and Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know CD, both with all the 12" mixes!!!

I was going to start a similar thread but also was going to mention that not only do I want to see these reissued but remastered, as in this day and age there's no reason NOT to do so.

"Heartland" - Real Life - It was reissued a few years ago by the band, I think, but the sound quality was no better, maybe slightly worse, than the German Curb release.

"Teenage Heartbreak+Love Too Late" - Sorrows - Okay, it's power pop but really good power pop.

"The Sponsors" by same - Not exactly power pop but a good pop album.

"Too Late at 20" - The Act - Typical new wave, it was an eclectic album of pop, reggae, folk-pop, etc., all catchy nonetheless.

"State of Shock" - The Elektrics - Their first album was good but their second was even better.

"Thin Red Line+Snap! Snap! Snap!" - The Cretones - If this didn't come out as a two-fer at least I'd want Snap! on CD.

"Beauty and the Beat" - The Go-Go's - It's beyond me why this hasn't been remastered as their other two subsequent CD's have.

"High Land, Hard Rain" - Aztec Camera - One of the first CD's I ever owned, and there have been subsequent reissues but has this classic ever received a proper remastering?

"Mirror Moves" - Psychedelic Furs - The first two albums were reissued and remastered but then they stopped coming. Is that it?

"Crowded House" - same - Yes, a few of the album's songs have appeared in remastered form on compilations but I would love to have the entire album remastered.

"Playground" - The Truth - They missed the Mod bandwagon by about 5 years but when it comes to good music it's still better late than never.

"Ricochet" - Modern English - Supposedly "remastered" in the early 90's but it sure didn't sound like it - the volume is woefully inadequate. It deserves remastering after 15 years.

Oh, this is easy. Some B-listers, but good ones. Pretty much any of the mid 80's LP's from Shriekback. "Jam Science", a nice remastered form of "Oil and Gold" with some bonus tracks.

Screaming Blue Messiahs - "Gun Shy" (my CD is toast, can't even get some of the tracks off it... one of my first CD purchases and I didn't treat that one real good, dropped it a couple of times)

Blue In Heaven - had some nice albums, they need to be released properly in a big, big way

Jazz Butcher - so much stuff was in and out of print, would be nice to get it all on a compendium or somethin. Ridiculous a band as good as this is so criminally ignored, but Kenny Loggins gets the "Essential" 2 CD treatment.


more later.

Another vote for "Jam Science" - either the Y or Arista version (ideally both).

A deluxe 2CD remaster ideally with b-sides / single edits / 12" mixes / demos of the first Visage album - next year's 30th anniversary would be an ideal time and the CD out there at the moment sounds very thin.

Savage Progress' "Celebration" - not much chance but I live in hope.

I hope it will be great news

Yes - Zaine Griff! Those were scheduled a few years back but nothing came of them. Anyone know why?

definitely agree with you on many choices fanwave. Here are some others:

1) Peter Baumann's Repeat Repeat LP and Strangers in the Night LP.
2) The Buggles - Adventures in Modern Recording LP.
3) Peter Wolf Lights Out LP with the 12" versions of I Need You Tonight, Lights Out and Oo-Ee-Diddley-Bop.

Oh, and definitely a compilation of all the November Group tracks.

'Jam Science' for me too. Why has that never appeared on CD?
'The Wrong People' Furniture
'The Politics Of Dancing' Re-Flex. It's been "coming soon" for over a year now
'Black' Black
'Promises' Allez Allez
'Nightmares In Wax' B-Movie
'Where It Is' The Beloved
'Chasing Shadows' The Comsat Angels
'Another Story' Fiction Factory
'Mummy Calls' Mummy Calls
'Wish Thing' Torch Song
'Comrades' A Popular History Of Signs
'Against The Tide' Virgin Dance, for me as well

Fiat Lux, Two People and Box Of Toys on CD too would be good.

Screaming Blue Messiahs IS being reissed by Wounded Bird in the very near future, think it is already listed maybe at some on-line sites

good to hear about Screaming Blue Messiahs. Been wanting that one for a while.

still waiting for an official Modern Eon "Fiction Tales"

Scritti Politti - Cupid & Psyche '85

You'd think such a high-tech release would've got the proper remastering treatment by now. The existing CD issue sounds terribly flat.

I love the powerpop end of the spectrum, and was glad to read recently that one of my most wanted - Gary Myrick's early Epic Records material - is going to be reissued.

A couple still on my wish list:

- The Yachts (I think there was a Japanese reissue, but it's long out of print)
- B-Movie's version of "Rememberence Day" from the 12" Sire Records single of "Nowhere Girl". Too bad this wasn't included as a bonus on the recent Wounded Bird reissue of their "Forever Running" album.
