I just picked up Galore from a dealer in France for about $31. Thanks for the tip! I also have the Lazy compilation (bought it when it was released). And I have the Blancmange and Kirsty cds. And a very big credit card bill[:D]

Wow, was Happy Families released on CD?

I have been going through my vinyl during the holidays and listened from start to finish. It still sounds great.

[Rubellan]

Though many of the mega-rarities I had have been rereleased, (Let's Active-Cypress/Afoot, Toyah-Minx), I still have a few hard to find CD's:

Nena-It's all in the game
King-Bitter sweet
Peter Baumann-Repeat repeat
Passions-Thirty thousand feet over china
Passions-Passion plays
Caterwaul-The nature of things
Toyah-Desire
Visage-The anvil
Martha and the Muffins/M+M-Danseparc/Mystery walk

I also have the rare Girls At Our Best CD, though since most of it was poorly mastered from vinyl, I made my own CD.

With One Way records gone, and Razor and Tie all but dead, there are a number of other titles that will be considered quite rare in the next year or so; stuff like Bow Wow Wow and Missing Persons. They are already out of print, as is Wounded Bird's Holly and the Italians CD's, the stuff they licensed from Virgin.

I also have to admit that several years ago I found that holy grail Colour Field "Virgins and Philistines" CD for $8. I had never heard it, and only purchased it out of curiostity, since I enjoyed some of the Fun Boy Three stuff. I HATED it! I played it several times and could not get into it. I didn't see it as New Wave at all, just a bit off the mark mainstream pop. I sold the CD back to a local record store, and maybe got $1 for it.

Duran Duran - [i]Essential Night Versions[/i]

*rare to begin with, it's now out-of-print. Fun trivia: came with an extra "bonus" CD of "New Moon on Monday", which you could DL off their website---but only if you had Windows 3.1 or 95. Which I didn't. But maybe djsoss does!

Hm, not really sure what others I have. I never really tracked down CDs the way I tracked down albums, and I didn't even have a record player! I have more CD-Rs than CDs proper (bad me).

[geoffolehane]

[b]Kon Kan[/b]: "Move to Move"

[b]Cock Robin[/b]: "After Here Through Midland" - This one was reissued as a double-CD with their first release but I have the original late '8o's issue.

[b]Bardeux[/b]: "Bold As Love" More dance than New Wave but it's still late '80's and out of print.

[b]Kate Bush[/b]: "Aspects of the Sensual World" - A promotional EP-CD released in conjunction with the album. Includes two non-LP cuts.


I thought I'd have more but I cross-checked a few CD's that I thought would be rare and found that they were still in print.
