The 7" edit of All I Need Is Everything was wrong on the Edsel release as well. The 45 is 4.00, it faded way short, and ended up around 13 seconds short. It was the 45 edit apart from that mind you. Looks like this might be a clone of the Edsel CD of Knife as well - same 4 bonus tracks after the main album, they've moved the 4 live tracks to an expanded version of that concert on CD2.
Cherry Red does seem to be releasing a lot of great sets this year -- there's a Vapors one coming and the second volume for Level 42.
The 7” is also on this 2014 US release from Domino. Much more comprehensive and better sonically than the Edsel from the year before. Never seen ‘Pillar to post’ 7” anywhere else and no glitch on the Oblivious remix you find elsewhere. Highly recommended. Isn’t the 7” of ‘All I need is everything’ on the ‘How men are’ CD single? Along with a slightly shorter (possibly 7”) edit of Oblivious I’ve never seen anywhere else.
The version of All I Need Is Everything on that CD single is the same as on the Edsel release. It has the edit at 3.30, but then fades too soon. Should be 4.00,.
This is the link for the US High Land, Hard Rain reissue I meant to paste above. Apologies. https://www.discogs.com/Aztec-Camera-High-Land-Hard-Rain/release/5539830
Just a nuisance ripping them to Mac as it has no drawer to put it in! But they are great things… tiny CDs, what’s not to like!
Remixed and re-imagined re issue of Donna Summer's I'm A Rainbow album that was scrapped from 1981 before a long belated release in 1996. Out October 8th.
Though it isn't the type of thing I would buy or listen to, that Donna set looks absolutely gorgeous.

What is it about artists (and I guess labels) releasing new variants of a release less than a week after it comes out? Jessie aware rereleased What’s Your Pleasure? on Friday with various bundles, and then puts out another CD bundle I’d actually be interested in today, just a few days after I received my pre-order. Cynical, and thoroughly annoying. Edit: OK seems this was on pre-order weeks ago, and then put on her store before the release date, and I was only informed because I’m now on the mailing list having bought the bundle originally. My bad.
What do ye think of the new heaven 17 compilation? Would love to see one from haircut 100, Thompson twins or blancmange
