New Wave Outpost Forum

We can make two categories here: A for those bands whose material was never released on CD and B for those whose CD are now out of print. I'll suggest a few off the top of my head. If a song or two is available on a compilation we won't count that. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm mistaken:

Trees
Slow Children
Blancmange
Vitamin Z
Hilary
Ignatius Jones
Robert Hazzard
20/20
A Certain Ratio
Abecedarians
Blanket of Secrecy
Polyrock...

If we can get some good lists for groups A and B it might make for a fun round or two of "New Wave Survivor-Idol"

I think the first one is on CD. You just have to spend a thousand bucks to get it.

[quote]20/20[/quote]

Too bad the 2-fer fell out of print. At least I bought it before it did.

At the moment, I think my four dream CD releases are Private Lightning, 4 Out of 5 Doctors, The Breakfast Club and Units - for no other reason than the sheer number of unreleased tracks they all had. Private Lightning alone had over two ALBUMS worth of unreleased stuff.

Oh, and also Sex Execs and The Pink. Don't remember anything unreleased, but their entire released catalogues would fit neatly on one CD.

Human Switchboard - Who's Landing In My Hangar?

The Individuals - Fields + s/t EP

The Swimming Pool Q's - s/t and Blue Tomorrow

The Drongos - s/t and 2nd album I can't remember the name of

My vote is for Blancmange also.
Others include: the Lover Speaks, Red 7, Platinum Blonde.

Roger Troutman's debut album from 1976...never released on CD, cassette or 8-track. Just a limited run on vinyl. I wish someone would release it on CD so everyone would have a chance to enjoy it.

The Art Company's [i]Can't Get It Outta My Head[/i].
Any album by Poesie Noire.

Some may be out of print now, but quite a few mentioned ARE, or were, on CD:

Celebrate The Nun
B-Movie
Vitamin Z
20/20 (except for Sex Trap as far as I know)
The Photos
Beam Tchaikovsky - Strang Man...
ACR
Roman Holiday
King
Breakfast Club - soundtrack and the group also

Some of these can still be found if you check the good internet sources and used

As SomebodySomewhere said, quite a few of the bands mentioned are available on CD:

B-Movie (Platinum Collection has just been released)
ACR (loads of their stuff is available on CD)
Girls At Our Best! - Pleasure (released on Vinyl Japan)

The Lover Speaks
Red Box - Circle & The Square

The above two have had CD releases, just pony up the dough if you want them..

Yachts - same (got this, includes b-sides to singles from the first album)


Now, for some bands whose albums aren't available on CD:

Serious Drinking - The Joy of Pigs
Beggar & Co - Monument
Landscape - Manhattan Boogie-Woogie

I know there's more, but that's all I can remember for now.
