That's excellent news. Wonderful and thoughtful selection of bonus tracks. Hopefully we'll see Living My Life this year as well.

The price does seem steep but I'm sure Amazon will lower it as the release date gets closer. I remember Nightclubbing was the same way too.

That's not the Amazon price - that's what the label itself are charging.

BTW does someone know the correct time length for Private Life (7"). I'm guessing it's 4.37 min, but on the 2007 compilation 7 Inch Heroes it's 4.11 min. Is the latter a deliberate edit or a special DJ promo?

There's additional bonus tracks on the Blu-ray Audio - https://store.udiscovermusic.com/*/*/Wa ... 4OU0000000

The answer re: the Private Life (7") length might be there...

I'm aware of that thanks. I'm just wondering if there's different 7" versions or special edits.

The amazon price is lower. Whatever. This is an artist for which I will pay any amount for reissues.

There appears to be a volume dropout of Private Life (Single Version) on disc 2 track 6.

In the first 3 seconds there is distortion on the right channel and the sound disappears for a short while.

I found out that it's not only on the 2-CD Deluxe Edition, but also on the Blu-Ray.

Noticed that as well. Also on the 1986 7" remix a very slight audio edit in the beginning.

Who even notices these things? And why bother reporting them? Even after your **important** reporting I don't notice any of these "issues". These unbelievably minor quibbles may cause other people to fixate on them. It's rather sad that people feel obligated to report on ludicrously minor flaws. Oh, and by the way, I have a vinyl LP that has a crackle on the 3rd track. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

This is one of the least brickwalled remasters I've heard.

Throughout the history of this forum people have pointed out flaws/defects and more often so complimented how well a cd sounds.The idea of pointing out these issues is not to complain (unless major) but to make one aware of what is and what isn't. I'm assuming that most people here are audio enthusiasts and would easily differentiate or appreciate what a casual buyer would never notice. I have all of Grace's reissues and love 'em.
