Not sure if this means anything but Eddy Grant retweeted my tweet about his catalogue needing to be back in print. Hopefully this means he'll be open to having his catalogue reissued.
I believe he owns much of his back catalogue via his Ice Records label, perhaps he's looking for the right deal with Demon, Cherry Red or whoever to get things back on the market.
He just had Electric Avenue featured in a Super Bowl commercial and it's the 40th anniversary of Killer on the Rampage and Electric Avenue. So, good time to strike.

Just having a first listen to the new Now12"80s Remixed CD. The first song to play is Laura Branigan's "Shattered Glass". To my untrained ears, it sounds very much like a vinyl rip. Can anyone confirm? Not a great start given how much I was looking forward to getting this release...
I am sure like many of us, I track reissues I haven’t bought, it looks like Animal Magic by The Blow Monkeys is now out of stock at Cherry Red and Amazon, it was a 2012 reissue. Bought a 10.99 copy on eBay before it goes up stratospheric.
Yes, I am finding myself just caving in and getting some of the ones I passed on, because they're not getting cheaper (the opposite, in fact) and they're getting very scarce.
I bought The Best 70s Party Album In The World... Ever! on Amazon yesterday for £5. It is now £8.14. I noticed that prices are changing a lot on the site
