Thompson Twins - Here's To Future Days DELUXE

[eLeMeNOhPeaQ]

This is now listed at http://www.sirendisc.com/ under their Future
Releases section, with an August 4, 2008 release date. No mention of the release at demonmusicgroup's website just yet. But, the pricing is the same as the Edsel reissues of QS&SK and ITG.

Cool. While it can't be compared to the previous two, I thought this was an underrated album (like Duran's Notorious).

[DavePlym]

on amazon.co.uk it's listed as a edsel release and 2 discs at £7.99 so
will logically follow the same format as the other two

Nice! I think ElemopeaQ had the same problem I did -- I could never get a good clean rip off of my EPs -- there was a skip in the master, I think. Regardless, looks like a nice set with the various 12" mixes of "Lay Your Hands."

[DJ Phoenix]

Apparently, this has been pushed back? if so, anyone have a new release date? Been trying to order it here in the states for almost a month, and nothing @ 3 different record stores, as far as a listing of this goes.

It was released here in the UK on monday. I ordered mines from HMV and it has been despatched still waiting on it arriving though i think it's coming by snail mail.

[mojowkn]

My Amazon UK order is in transit ... shipped Monday. Will let you know.

Listened to some of it today, sound quality sounds fine, although a bit foggy on the us remix of Lay Your Hands... Could be like it was at the time? Good to see tracks that were on the Rollover single coming to light. Forgot what a good album this was.

Listened to thsi tonight all the way through both discs. A solid album, actually, I'd forgotten it wasn't all bad... the remixes actually grate after a while, there's alike 5 versions of 'Lay Your Hands On Me'... but another well done re-issue. For £6 you really can't complain.

[DJ Phoenix]

Thanks gang, appreciate it.

Yes i have to agree with the quietness of the us remix wonder how that happened because everything else sounds excellent.

Meaning everything else is incredibly loud. They compressed the hell out of this CD after everyone whined it was "too quiet" on the first two albums. Anyone use a volume knob anymore?

Anyone in the US get this yet? I cant seem to order it for some reason from my local record store.

Ordered mine from Amazon UK (as I mentioned earlier in the thread). It sounds fine to me, but I have not done a tight a/b comparison. They might have compressed it, as others have complained about, but it doesn't sound particularly jarring to me. I'm just happy to have the 5-song bonus vinyl on CD finally -- without a pesky skip I've been unable to work around ( I think it was a pressing mistake).

Anyway, DJ Phoenix, I'd suggest Amazon UK.
