[thunderbird2]

I would put some of my wishes down for the next year

Fiat lux compilation or at least hired history

China Crisis first four albums deluxe treatment

Kissing the pink naked deluxe edition ( and what noise on CD for the first time)

b-movie (compilation of their some bizarre tracks )

Secession ( a dark enchantment ) expanded

WIN uh tears baby

Also would like someone to do a 12" 80's compilation of some of the more obscure / hard to get 12"'s we would like to see on CD
some of mine being
This island earth ( see that glow or take me to the fire )
Associates those first impressions
Fallout cub wonderlust
Bourgie Bourgie breaking point
secession touch part 3
kissing the pink Last film
Seona dancing bitter heart
WIN shampoo tears
secession the magician (pecky plus mix)
Fiat lux blue emotion
Visage the anvil extended

B-movie remembrance day
vision love dance

[audiodile]

Supposedly the Art of Noise China reissues are still coming, say a few people on FGTH.de. ZTT seems to have fired their entire marketing department, judging by the fact that the only info is coming through people who have talked to people who have talked to insiders.

Similarly, the Purple Rain reissue is presumably still happening, if Prince stops being Prince long enough to give his fans what they want for a change.

It would be great if Warner would remaster and reissue the B-52's albums with period era remixes.

These days you pretty much shouldn't get excited about anything until you hold it in your hands.

In the immortal words of Naked Eyes.. "Promises, promises.... why do I believe..."

[Gary Russell]

This could be a really handy resource page going forward - especially if we can just keep it to actual releases and have a separate one for all our 'wants' lists

[omar]

Here's my list:

1. Fashion - Fabrique
2. The Parachute Club - The Parachute Club
3. Picnic At The Whitehouse - The Doors Are Open
4. The Dolphin Brothers - Catch The Fall
5. Zee - Identity

All these albums remastered with remixes,b-sides,demos..... If only !!

[Aevion93]

My list:

The Blow Monkeys - Whoops! There Goes the Neighbourhood and Springtime for the World
Cabaret Voltaire - Code/Groovy/Body and Soul - even if it has to be a big boxset I'm fine with that, not sure about the other three 1990s ones as I never got into them
The Cars - heard Edsel had licensing issues with these ones, I'd still love to see them!
Duran Duran - Liberty/The Wedding Album - especially The Wedding Album
Erasure - Wild/Chorus
Heaven 17 - How Men Are/Pleasure One/Teddy Bear Duke & Psycho/Bigger Than America - at least just How Men Are
Madness - The Madness
Ricky Ross - So Long Ago/What You Are/New Recording - to complete the Deacon Blue set I have
Tears for Fears - The Seeds of Love

[Dominik500]

My wish list:

Philip Jap - Jap
Hambi And The Dance - Heartache
Those French Girls - Those French Girls
Space Monkey - On The Beam
OMD - The Pacific Age
Fiat Lux anything...
Mummy Calls - Mummy Calls
Lelo & The Levants - Lelo
Dekka Danse - Waltz In The Wilderness
National Pastime - Built To Break
Red - In Motion
Freeze Frame - Singles Collection

I'm sure there's plenty more, but those are off the top of my head.

totally agree with you, would indeed be great if there could be a different thread for the wishlist 2015.

For releases 2015:
New Order "TBA" (New Album)

[Sensoria]

These days you pretty much shouldn't get excited about anything until you hold it in your hands.

Totally agree with you. But I was just following the news and alike. Some were confirmed by the labels, and some were confirmed by the artists themselves. I stood away from gossips.

Just turn around and it's here already!

another one to add:
Feb 2nd, 2015: Martin Hannett & Steve Hopkins - The Invisible Girls (LTM)

http://home.planet.nl/~frankbri/fbn65.html

[crystal]

6th March, 2015 (Germany) / 27th March (other territories) CAMOUFLAGE - Greyscale (new album)
http://www.camouflage-music.com/en/News

[crystal]

SECTION 25 - Always Now (2CD Remaster) -> release date: TBA

[morgan1098]

I think it is confirmed that Universal is planning to release Tears for Fears' Seeds of Love as a box set. Not sure if it's scheduled for 2015 though.

[Neil Kelly]

Yes it is confirmed. As for a wish list i wouldn't know where to start. Actually i could state a Madonna: Singles versions / Edits 3-4 disc set. Agree with The Madness (1988) double edition maybe with some demos and the important missing S on the spine. The 2nd Madness Singles box due due in 2004 would be nice lol but wno't happen. Then i'd go to Kraftwerk single mixes / exteded mixes box set (demos would be incredible like scheduled Tour de France album from 1983). The 2 -3 new live tracks (which i loved) from around 1997/1998 would be amazing i've only waited almost 2 decades for those and have actually given up on it EVER happening now since they failed to appear on TDF Soundtracks. They did promise first two albums remastered also years ago. Then again Kraftwerk should be German for 'Unforfilled promises'. Promising a new album since 2010. The B-52's are also due a proper remaster / rarities set/s. A Thompson Twins DVD / Blu ray of as many videos as possible and BBC performances.

Then loads of 80's stuff which is missing on CD, badly mastered, badly remastered etc.

On the new album front i'd mention Kraftwerk (again), Madness, OMD, Duran Duran, The Prodigy, Tears for fears, Adam Ant, Level 42. Think there's a very good chance on many of them especially Adam Ant, Duran Duran, Madness & The Prodigy.
