The Reissue Thread!

Shame, they’ve been very good for me in the past. Right now it’s Banquet records who can’t get me a cd copy of the new Gift album even though it’s available elsewhere, but it’s the final cd of a few I bought and not wanting to have more shipping elsewhere if I cancelled!
Same here. My experience with them has been positive as well.
 
There appears to be a 19-disc box set coming covering Laura Nyro's career. I really really hope this happens.

Editorial Reviews​

19-CD Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set From One Of The Most Influential Artists Of The 20th Century. Be ready for the deepest dive yet into the womblike creativity of the idiosyncratic, unmistakable musical force that is Laura Nyro. Acknowledged as a genuine original, expressing a whirlpool nexus of r'n'b, doowop, Broadway, opera, folk and her own individual sort of soul, she thought like a bandleader even when she was solo. "She wrote songs that had no kind of fixed compass point. They remain as unique and absolutely spellbinding to this day as when I first heard them in the '60s." - 10 Original Studio Albums, 6 Live Albums including 2 Previously Unreleased Live Concerts, Laura's original demo tape from 1966 and bonus disc of rarities including mono versions, alternative versions and live tracks. All albums remastered especially for this collection. All housed in a deluxe, lift-off lid box. Coffee-table book with in-depth liner notes by Vivien Goldman, foreword from Sir Elton John and testimonials from Charlie Calello, Will Lee, John Sebastian, Jackson Browne, Clive Davis, Lou Adler, Randy Brecker, Bernard Purdie, Scott Billington, John Sebastian and Gary Burden. Rare, previously unseen photographs including intimate family shots illuminate the book.
 
Looks like Burning Shed / Madfish are releasing the Laura Nyro box. I'm on their mailing list. Due 12 December. They have a good track record with massive box sets - Frankie Valli, Al Stewart, Horslips, Mansun....
 
I am in shock but has anyone seen the price for the cut down Sparkle In The Rain 4CD box due on 22.11.24. It looks like the original box but missing the surround sound/ video disc. They also are saying the gig at Barrowlands is unreleased.


£64.99-74.99....

Raging at the insanity of the record industry. Do they think we are stupid?
