Visage - The Wild Life


Visage - The Wild Life

Postby BigManRestless » Wed Oct 26, 2016 12:01 am

As if the world needed another Visage compilation, but this one does cover the 21st century version of the band too. No track details yet but it is out on December 9th.

I suppose it's too much to hope for some rare or unreleased stuff? And I'm still dreaming of a decent remaster of the debut album.

Strange that the singles "Beat Boy" and "Shameless Fashion" are not included despite there being only 14 tracks on the album, somewhat bizarre that instead they have include "Aurora! and "The Silence" neither of which were singles, at least I don't think they were. They could have also included the Japan only single "Whispers".

For me this would have been a better track list:

Fade To Grey
Mind Of A Toy
Visage
The Anvil
The Damned Don't Cry
Night Train
Pleasure Boys
Beat Boy
Love Glove
Never Enough
Shameless Fashion
Dreamer I Know
She's Electric (Coming Around)
Hidden Sign

There is supposed to be a CDX version coming out as well which i can only assume will be a deluxe edition hopefully with 12 inch mixes. I was reading about this on their facebook page and that rusty egan was coming on and saying that this release was rubbish and that everything recorded after 1985 is fake Visage he has some serious issues if he is resorting to this :roll:

That's a shame about Rusty, but I think the the vast majority of people Visage was Steve Strange.
The musicians all had great post-punk pedigrees but Steve was the only one who appeared in the videos, he was the only one featured on record covers…I think there are only a handful of photos of the whole 80s version of the band together.

I saw the Facebook post about the deluxe and I’m cautiously optimistic about that. Putting out a single CD best of is utterly pointless, there are so many budget ones out there already I can’t see a casual punter being interested in this. Even if it does have songs by the 21st century band, a lot of people possibly aren’t aware of them and may be more inclined to buy a cheaper best of where they recognise the majority of the tracks. Even a simple chronological singles collection (with choice b-sides like the original Frequency 7, We Move etc) using the correct 7” mixes (hello Night Train!) would be preferable. And a deluxe with the original 12” mixes on a bonus disc or two would be even better.

Just curious, what 12" or extended version has not been released on cd? I saw someone ask for an extended version of "In The Year 2525". Is there one? I wish they would release a documentary dvd or a tv performance dvd.

I would like to know what's on the CDX eventually. The thing drops in about three weeks but so far… zip.

I'll probably regret it but I went for the 7-CD box set with all the instrumentals because, well, it's Visage, and I need no other reason than that!
