so, in case someone with influence reads this here is what I consider to be absolutely essential reissue or remaster necessity.
Human League Hysteria. Dare has been reissued with and without additional and era related material several times in the last several years, but since the first remaster of Hysteria nothing happened with this brilliant follow up to Dare. Also, unlike dare, it is virtually impossible to get this copy of Hysteria (or at least not for a resonable price) - you can only get the first CD issue of it. So what is up with that people????
first 3 China Crisis albums with all the singles and b sides and 12" versions. All those who love CC are aware that this band's b sides are as good as the a sides (especially Flaunt the imperfection era ones)
Depeche Mode - a box set with all the singles/maxi singles (a remastered and less expensive version of the singles box sets - like less expensive 3CD box sets of Duran Duran, the Stranglers, Marillion etc that EMI released in the last few years)
The same for Killing Joke. They have released a super expensive box with individual singles, and double and tripple version of it but without all the B sides.
the same for Simple Minds - at least a budget (jewel case instead of the beautiful but quite expensive and now out of print) reissue ot Themes.
Sisters of Mercy - either a box set with singles/maxi singles in individual sleeves (I loved the artwork) or at least a remastered version of Some girls Wander...
Alphaville - Forever young w b sides and remixes
Real Life - Heartland
OMD - Crush, Pacific age and Sugar tax (all with bonus material of course)
Visage - Visage with bonus tracks and possibly Beat boy that I did not like as much as the first two albums, but it is still good enough.
Icehouse - a box set of albums with b-sides
Mick Karn Titles and Dreams of reason
Spandau Ballet - nohing since deluxe edition of Parade. Although the remaining two albums might not be as good as the first four, there are still people that would love to have them with bonus material.
so if anyone knows anyone that might have a say in what gets remastered/released/rereleased etc. please please please...(let us get what we want)
