After those Edsel reissues including the singles boxset do we really need these ones? I think the label is trying to milk as much as they can while Siobhan's still touring with the group.

You are probably right about the exploitation of the catalog. I just got the Edsel 2xCD+DVD of "Deep Sea Skiving" and it's amazing. I initially waited too long and it seemed to rise to under $50 in cost over the last year, but just recently I found it online for £10 and jumped on it. I also want the "Bananarama" Edsel DLX RM and I'd go as far as the "True Confessions" 3-disc set if I could get it under $20, but if I missed that one for good [both the second and third DLX Edsel book boxes are out of my budget currently] I'd live. Their first album was the bomb for me. Personable and charming. Second was slicker and more professional but there were still some good songs. On "True Confessions" the Swain + Jolley stuff was too slick and that album marked the point where PWL became no fun for me anymore.

Those Edsel editions were really for fans and collectors. I imagine these new editions are the ones they'll keep in print for a while for casual buyers, though how long anything stays in print anymore is anyone's guess.

The Bananarama catalogue was sold by Warner last August. We pretty much instantly got new expanded digital packages, and these latest CDs are the same content physically. The multi-disc sets on Edsel were deleted about a year ago, with stores like HMV selling them off for as little as £5.99 each, or 2 for £10. In fact, you can still get some of them in store (mostly Pop Life and Please Yourself, the two less popular ones). Anyway, the new label, Because Music but under the new name London Music Stream, are absolutely "exploiting the catalogue" - they did buy it as an investment, after all. Why else would you buy an artist's back catalogue if not to make money from it? I appreciate after the multi-disc sets, these may seem like a step backwards, but I'm sure this is but the start of their plans. I am expecting vinyl reissues... coloured, probably. 8)

Would have been good to see Changes on the rerelease of Please Yourself, seeing as it comes from the recording sessions for that album. Despite what Bananarama have said about Changes being a demo, it isn't. It was at the very least considered as a single, with a 7" mix being done (which is the leaked version). The full length unfaded version is 4.33 minutes long.

Rumor also has it that last year they were planning of recording not one but two new songs with Siobhan (one of them being a Bowie cover), but nothing ever happened. I guess now with the tour almost over and Siobhan once again going solo, who knows?

Interesting...and tonight in Gothenburg would have been the last show with Siobhan.

Come on, Because Music, put out Changes as a RSD release for 2019...
