Recently I found out that, exclusively for this release, new mixes of ‘Kids In America’, ‘Chequered Love’ and ‘Water On Glass’ have been created from the original multi track reels. This is also the case for the Select and Catch As Catch Can albums (besides their original 12'' mixes which are included as well). These include faithful 80s-style extended versions and more radical reinterpretations of these classic hits.

The first part of this sentence sounds promising.......the second, not so much..... :)

I'll reserve judgement until I've heard them, but modern remixes are usually ghastly. I like the idea though, which seems similar to the Dollar ones, of trying to make an extended version as it were made back in the day.

I wonder if it's the same group of people that've created the new Dollar remixes on their forthcoming boxset. Blank & Jones also created their own "true to the original" on some of their so80s collections.

Both the 2020 deluxe reissues of Kim Wilde (1981) and Select (1982) are up on iTunes to sample. On Select the new remixes are awful. The Luke Mornay remix of View From A Bridge is a reggae version!! Only the Matt Pop Extended Remix of Cambodia and Child Come Away sound true to the originals.

The new remixes are a (re)mixed bag! I think the 'reggae' View From A Bridge is perhaps heading in an Ace Of Base 'All That She Wants' direction? That said, across the three albums, there's a couple of unreleased songs, rough mixes, demos, period mixes, new remixes, videos on DVD for the first time, TV performances... which is a lot. They're very highly priced at £32, however. £15 would be better. :?

Any thoughts? The remastering isn't great dynamic range wise but I appreciate the amount of unreleased material, especially on Catch as Catch Can. Sail On is an instant classic.

Don’t really care about the new remixes. As for the bonus tracks it’s good to have the Catch As Catch Can reissue only. These are again all loud just like the previous ones.

Just listened to Select and my feeling only Cambodia mixes by Matt Pop are really true to the original. Child Come Away - more or less.

On the other hand - having "the original Cambodia" as an extended instrumental is really a blessing.

The highpoint of Catch As Catch Can is IMHO Dream Sequence (In Reverse) (so thats really saying something) and Love Blonde PopFidelity mixes are decent as well.
Love to have the instrumental version of my favorite track as well.

But all of these albums dont work for me as albums at all.
I think Kim found her perfect sound on the Teases And Dares release and thats the album with the best songs overall as well.

I finally picked all 3 of these up recently after hearing samples of the new remixes. First of all, I think the remastering of the original material is great. I just compared "Kids In America" to one of her greatest hits CDs and the improvement with the new release was quite obvious. There were a few good songs on each of these albums - I was never a Kim Wilde album fan until "Teases And Dares". But I'm happy to finally own them all with all their beauty and flaws. Tom Parker, who remastered all of the Bananarama reissues a few years back, did a bang up job on these as well in my opinion.

I'm probably in the minority on here regarding the 2020 remixes, but I absolutely love 'em! My favorite is probably Matt Pop's "Child Come Away" which is just perfection, but I really do enjoy them all! Most are for the most part relatively true to the original recording at the core, but with a very solid modern day rebuild. I'm very pleased with all 3 releases!

Like most say,the remixes of these are horrid with exception of the matt pop mix of cambodia
