The Reissue Thread!

Bought the 8 CD Blondie set although I already own all the albums. Almost went with just the 3 CD set but I know I would have regretted it.

Is there another set planned for the second part of their career?
 
This is a rave from the grave but does anyone remember the Cherry Pop/Red debacle on Belouis Some's Some People (CRPOP15) from 2009? It was a right mess with drop outs, different volume levels and wrong versions. On one of my music travels this week, I gave it a spin and it is still a fine album - produced by Thompson & Barbiero and Ian Little (DD fame) - Imagination and Stand Down in particular.

Discogs though has two versions, the initial release and a corrected release, differentiated by the matrix number with V2 added to the later version. On checking I have V2 but it suffers from all the original problems, just interested if anyone else had a different copy of V1 or V2 for comparison please?

Avoided buying it but do have the original 1985 CD which sound fab.
 
I thought that yesterday as its still next to my CD player, looked to have sold well too. The whole market is swamped by bl**dy coloured vinyl, I wonder if the golden age of SDEs/reissue sets has passed?
 
Anyway, just a little question: dear Arthur Baker, what happened to the series Arthur Baker presents... ? The Shep Pettibone one was great, but it's all so quiet now...
It's still on the way. I think the pandemic slowed things down as many projects got behind. We are feeling the effects of that now. Demon particularly seem to be slow on the CD Boxset projects and the ones they have announced are very overpriced (Kool & The Gang).

Did they ever announce who set 2 was? I recollect set 3 is Arthur himself - assuming set 2 would be Jellybean or Francois Kevorkian?
 
I´m quite excited for this, looking forward to the tracklist.

The description on CD Japan says only one copy per customer because it´s a very limited release. I would prefer to order from Amazon Japan though, I think the shipping is cheaper from there. Hopefully that link will go up soon.

I have the Cyndi Lauper one - that´s a single CD + DVD and the booklet is massive. I wonder how they will make a similar booklet for the Janet release, since it is a double CD.
