Just saw this listed on iTunes . These appear to be the original recordings . No cd release yet. Does anyone have more info?

These digital-only releases have been coordinated by Alan Connor with support from Thereza Bazar, and are not planned to be issued on a CD at this point in time as far as I'm aware. I am not sure if this is owing to the licencing for the tracks or another reason. I believe that the iTunes release has happened entirely because of interest from the fans, and Alan wanting to make use of access to the band's archives that he had when compiling 'The Paris Collection' and 'The Dollar Album' reissues for Cherry Pop. It's fantastic news to have these elusive singles (and all the mixes) finally available!

Thanks for the info.

Dollar released merely two singles on Arista (no LP), so "Singles Collection" is a stretch. What we get here in this so-far digital-only single is one of those two singles, with the two B-sides and the extended version, plus some (probably unreleased) instrumental and dub versions. At that price maybe they should have included the second single "Haven't We Said Goodbye Before" too? Anyway, yes nice to have digitally.

Hi discoginfo - just an FYI that Dollar's second Arista single 'Haven't We Said Goodbye Before' is also available on iTunes now as another 'Singles Collection'. I'd like to say a huge thanks to Alan Connor for getting these released finally - the additional versions, mixes, b-sides etc. are great to hear after so many years!

Thanks thorpy2112, added!
