Instead only a couple of remixes were permitted on their comps. I don’t get it. A proper ABC reissue campaign could definitely be appreciated where the following could appear:
1. Alphabet Soup (7”)
2. The Look Of Love (US Remix)
3. How To Be A Millionaire (UK 7”)
4. How To Be A Zillionaire (Nickel & Dime)
5. Ocean Blue (Pacific Mix)
6. When Smokey Sings (7”)
7. When Smokey Sings (Detroit Mix)
8. The Night You Murdered Love (Radio Edit)
9. King Without A Crown (7”)
Some of the above mentioned tracks are available on other CDs , but an official reissue of their albums this time complete with everything should happen.
Yeah, I went down that road when I made my super deluxe version of Zillionaire, and my friend and I pitched it also.
Martin is very forward looking, and does not want to be bothered with past releases (although he has done Lexicon of Love to death).
