The Reissue Thread!

I did get the big boxes for the first two and do like them - pricey though and would have preferred coloured vinyl rather than picture disc. Presume that's it for the series now?
 
Yes, the dTox series stopped at In The Running as well. Not sure what they could do next...maybe some creative compilations or something.

I might have got the big boxes if they'd been £50 and had the sort of content that Warners' Fleetwood Mac big boxes have had. All that fluff and tat just felt like padding. And the empty cardboard inside was literally padding!
 
The next reissue in the Toyah reissue series, Blue Meaning, is released today.

My copy of the 2CD/DVD set has just arrived and it truly is a gorgeous package. Fab sleevenotes, great artwork. Tonnes of bonus material alongside the fab original LP. Looking forward to watching the bonus features on the DVD hugely. Cherry Red really are packaging these releases beautifully.

After feeling a little lukewarm on the Solo boxset (to be fair, I've not gotten past Desire yet), I decided to still go ahead and get the Sheep Farming release and as an album it's pretty strong. The packaging is really nice. I have the latest one pre-ordered from Amazon US and am looking forward to it.

I really wanted the two big boxes but, really, what more did they offer than a bigger box and maybe a live disc or something like that? But I am a sucker for those big boxes because hopefully it means more sets like that for more pop artists. I think Howard has had a great reissue program. I bought the 12" Album/Action Replay set about 10 years or so ago. Nice set. Wasn't able to get the Humans Lib/Dream Into Action set so went with the Cherry Red versions.
 
I bought the Humans Lib and Dream Into Action 2+1 sets, after the Dtox purchase and I don’t feel I missed out, I think they were mainly demos and early mixes. Nice to have but not at that daft price. However they sold them! Can’t see what would be next unless they move onto his own later releases. In The Running is a nice set, nice album.

Human's Lib box had the following extras:
MUSIC
Picture disc LP
CD containing a mix of B-sides, previously unreleased tracks and some live tunes
The White Tape cassette (4 tracks)
Live in Japan DVD
NON-MUSIC
Replica Risk membership card
Human's Lib artwork lithograph
Replica tour programme
Set of 5 button badges

Dream Into Action box wasn't as good - you got the following
MUSIC
Picture disc LP
CD containing mostly Farmyard sessions, a B-side and a couple of alternative mixes
Live in Birmingham DVD
NON-MUSIC
Replica Risk Membership Card
Dream Into Action artwork lithograph
Replica tour programme
Set of 4 button badges

They sold out because it was a small enough run and a lot of fans pre-ordered - I'd say many didn't want to risk them selling out like the Human's Lib / Dream Into Action Dtox 3CD version. I missed that the first time around and had to fork out on Discogs for a used copy.

As OMD say in Tesla Girls:
"I've been patient heaven knows
I've learnt the rules of Howard Jones"
 
Feel like I’m speaking to the addicted here so fit right in - what’s the most you’ve justified paying for a box set (presumably of the out of print variety though I know some pricey new ones have been released…) - finally a copy of Suede cd single box set has appeared on eBay but it’s not cheap… and I’m tempted because I can’t find it anywhere else!

I’ll not mention the TFF, Siouxsie or Cocteau sets I missed that equally call for my money!
 
I paid £80 for the Donald Fagen CD/DVD/MVI "Trilogy" Set recently. The crazy thing was I actually had it once before, sealed for £20, but sold it on (for more or less the same price) because I didn't see the point of the fangled Hi-Def audio and visual stuff. But it's not easy to find, certainly not in perfect condition, so I decided...sod it, let's put a past wrong right.

Sheep Farming is a fab album that's finally getting the attention it deserves.
Blue Meaning is a lovely set, stunning visually, beautifully remastered and tonnes of bonus material. You've got a real treat coming. Cherry Red have done a wonderful job on this reissue series so far.

Paid US$282 for this in April - on a wantlist for 10+ years. Hardly any copies exist - it was pulled from the shops very shortly after release date.
