The Reissue Thread!

Kim Wilde vinyl coming soon on Cherry Red. Once again the reissues have cycled back to the first three albums. When will we get the last three?!
Oh what vinyl is this? The pop don't stop triple vinyl due this month or is there something new?
They're not reissuing the first 3 albums again in different colours are they?
As cherry red were able to release Teases and Dares and Another Step, I had hoped we would get the 2cd/DVD issues of those with coloured vinyl.
The Kim Wilde reissue campaign resembles a snakes & ladders boardgame.
Indeed. It's a shame which ever label owns her MCA albums doesn't license it out more freely as they clearly have no interest in doing anything with it.
It's a shame if it's still the same argument of remastering/reissuing her albums won't make any money but they don't want anyone else to make money, so would rather they just rot.
I've never thought about deluxe-ing the Kim albums from 1990 onwards, but given that they're still unlikely to happen soon, and now we have the mixes and B-sides on the Pop Don't Stop set, maybe I should start thinking DIY.
It’s splatter vinyl. I’d forgotten about the Pop Don’t Stop vinyl actually. My heart sinks at the loop we’re in with the early stuff when ‘my’ eras were those albums from Another Step onwards including Love Moves, Love Is and Now And Forever (which is one of Kim’s favourites ahem!)
Shame nothing seems to be doing done re issue wise again for her later 80s and early 90s albums.
My Dame Kim holy trinity is Another Step, Close and Love Moves. I have no interest in constantly re-buying the first three albums but would snap the above three up in a heartbeat!
Us waiting for the Love Moves, Love Is and Now & Forever reissues
It would be good to move onto the MC Years now indeed.
i am sure we will get those soon. The vinyl releases are to take advantage of RSD. Lot's of people were asking Cherry Red for them and I think Kim was also keen for them too.
Yes. here's to hopefully them following.
If Close was done on splatter vinyl or picture disc, I'd be tempted, but as someone who buys vinyl to actually play it, I'm increasingly reluctant to part with cash for products that nine times out of ten are unplayable due to scratches / glitches etc. With one particular recently released LP, I'm on my fourth attempt at getting a playable copy. For me, if it's not playable, it's just a lump of expensive plastic taking up space. Close is aesthetically beautiful and goes beyond being a brilliant album musically, hence I'd be tempted.
And like pretty much everyone it seems, I too am hoping that one day we'll have deluxe versions of Love Is / Moves.

Spill….
Natalie Imbruglia's Firebird. A brilliant album and stunningly presented, but with three copies returned already, I thought I'd try from the official website and that version was even worse.
It's by no means confined to one artist/shop or to old/new/reissued or to definitions of 'mint' or not. I tried four times for Alison Moyet's first two LP's on vinyl (both old and recently reissued versions) before giving up, the same with Anita Baker, and Pet Shop Boys and so on.
The only LP's I've had in recent years that are actually playable are a lightly grubby copy of The Martyr Mantra's c/o discogs, the reissued The First Of A Million Kisses and the new Tears For Fears LP. The latter two on beautiful pink vinyl, so perhaps pink wins the day! Interestingly perhaps, the Now Yearbooks also play perfectly.
Listening to music stops being a pleasurable experience when I'm on tenterhooks, anxiously awaiting a skip, and preparing myself for another trip to town to return something that should never have got beyond quality control (am guessing there's no such thing these days). The vinyl market may be booming, but as a player of vinyl, it's an increasingly disheartening, frustrating, wasteful experience.
