A DLX RM already? Well, it is almost 20 years [shakes head]. Where does the time go?

It's missing quite a lot of period remixes:

-Monoculture (Radio Edit),
-Monoculture (Dave Ball 7" Edit),
-Monoculture (Dave Ball Extended 12" Mix),
-Monoculture (Playgroup Remix),
-Monoculture (Playgroup Instrumental),
-Monoculture (Solvent Remix),
-Monoculture (Antoine 909 & Oggie B Edit),
-Monoculture (Extended Version),
-Monoculture (Jan Driver Remix or Jan Driver Club Mix),
-The Night (Jan Driver Dub Mix),
-The Night (Almighty Mix),
-The Night (Almighty PA Mix),
-The Night (The Wayne G Heaven Anthem Dub),
-The Night (Wayne G Heaven Anthem Mix) and
-The Night (Manhattan Clique Mix).

Although not every remix is good, I'll keep my original CD's because I'm not really interested in the 2020 mixes.

However, I'm still interested in the upcoming 80's album reissues. Hopefully added with some of the stuff on the Keychains & Snowstorms boxset, especially the longer versions of the album tracks.

@ZippY,
The Night (Manhattan Clique Remix) is included on CD2 but is the only period remix included. I believe it was promo-only so a nice inclusion.

You might be missing out on the 2020 remixes. The new extended mixes Dave created for the Soft Cell box were excellent, not sounding like 21st century remixes' but more like mixes that could have been done at the time of release.

I was thinking the same thing! My mind was saying "wait, that's a recent Soft Cell album, why are they redoing it already?"

Reissue moved back to Dec 4 as per their website.
