=========
Heaven 17’s “How Men Are” and Section 25’s “Always Now” will be reissued as deluxe-edition sets in 2015 too.

January 6, 2015 at 22:25
The Heaven 17 one is confirmed. Martyn Ware did it in the latest Classic Pop Magazine issue. He also said the band have been talking to Universal Music for a few months now about maybe doing an entire Heaven 17 career box set that would contain the whole thing – not only the ones that are on Virgin EMI, but also “Bigger Than America” and all the more current ones.

I seem to recall that Classic Pop Magazine stated that Seal was bringing out remasters of his albums and that was in 2012. It seems they don't get their facts correct.

[thunderbird2]

So at least one of my wants is being knocked off my list this year with the re-mastered kissing the pink naked

here are some of my hopes for 2016

Secession a dark enchantment expanded with 12" versions and single versions

WIN uh tears baby

Fiat Lux Hired History expanded with extended versions etc

B-movie ( a definitive compilation with all the some bizarre tracks on it) ( b movie are actually bringing out a new album in spring 2016 , heard one of the tracks on facebook and it sound good)

Robert Marlow peter pan effect expended , would be lovely to see an expanded version with all the extended versions on it

Visage ( extended versions compilation ) would be good to have all these together along with the Anvil extended version

[crystal]

you can add (the are currently working on a new album with Stuart Price again)...
Pet Shop Boys - TBA

[Sensoria]

Some new addings in the opening post. So, check them!

[anfunny2003]

I seem to recall that Classic Pop Magazine stated that Seal was bringing out remasters of his albums and that was in 2012. It seems they don't get their facts correct.

The editor of Classic Pop is the archivist guy responsible for the ZTT re-issue campaign - Ian Peel. The Seal remasters are planned, on the way, etc. etc. but have been delayed. So, they were factually correct to state they were due, and Ian Peel will have worked on them himself, but perhaps there's contractual issues or other issues we're not aware of from the outside looking in. Also, worth remembering the connection between ZTT/Salvo/Union Square and Classic Pop. They always get brilliant reviews, for example. Hmmm.

There's a 5CD box set from Skeletal Family coming January 29th...

Ian Peel stopped doing the ZTT re-issue campaign some time ago and the last we heard from him was that he was supposed to be working on the Art Of Noise China back catalogue but that was ditched a few years back. As for Seal i can't see that happening anytime in the near future.

[anfunny2003]

He's credited on the last ZTT reissues by Act and Anne Pigalle which came out less than 6 months ago.

I'm not a member of that forum so I can't view it.

Here is the first post on that thread from August this year


Say what you want about Ian Peel - you can't argue that since his departure from ztt we have had zero interesting output.

I miss the 'element' releases hugely - and since his departure activity on the blueboard has dropped off a cliff.

"So what happens now?"
