The Reissue Thread!

Did anyone order the Bronski Beat - Age Of Consent 4CD + 1 DVD from the SDE. We were meant to get a free I Feel Love CD Single but mine came without. I ordered when the link went live should have got one.

Yes, mine’s just arrived. I’d get your email over to his wife, who seems to run the shop, sure they’d have spares (cross fingers).
 
The sleeve/inlay for my Bronski Blu-Ray was in a right state. Handled very carelessly by the record company packers....huge thumbprints and other marks on the front, and the back corner is spoiled. Thankfully a microfibre cloth removed the worst of it. Seems, along with the DVD issue on the big box set, Universal are not upholding very high quality control.
 
Some initial thoughts on Bronski:

The I Feel Love single is great. The "rough edit" is worth the price of admission. A really curious version. The early version is good too. Respectable DR of 11-10.

The 2 CD version:
CD 1 is brickwalled as it contains the compressed 2018 remaster and the new remixes as bonus tracks. Some DR 6s here. I was expecting this though.
CD 2 is much better, being the expanded version of Hundreds and Thousands. Very good of DR of 12-10 here.

I still have to check the blu ray and 4 CD version.
 
Got my bundle today - I Feel Love CD included. Hope you get sorted.
My 4CD+DVD set has a bit of a gouge on the front. Not a major issue but slightly annoying.
DVD plays fine.
I haven't got a reply to my e-mail yet but I have had tracking sent from Royal Mail, from the same company that sent the boxset, and coming tomorrow. I assume it's that.
 
The Bronski Beat set is very dynamic. Only the main album, which uses the 2018 remaster, is compressed. This set contains the most dynamic sounding versions of many tracks (Red Dance etc). Oddly enough they did do a dynamic remaster for the main album but put it on the blu ray instead of the CD set. I don't know why.

I discovered that the Source Mix is the same mix as Extended, just that one plays faster and cuts off the ending.

CD 2 of the 2018 is still unique. The demos on that appear to be very similar to the early versions here but they are taken from different tapes I think.

All in all, the only thing that is missing from previous issues, aside from CD 2 of the 2018, are the edits of Cadillac Car & Memories.
 
Someone on the SDE forum/comments section was saying there isn't a proper, uncompressed version of the original album on the Blu-Ray?

On the menu/contents it says the original 1984 stereo mix in Hi-Res....is that an error?

Either they got the "2024 stereo" and "original stereo" the wrong way around
or it actually does only contain a non compressed new 2024 master and a brickwalled "original" master (probably the 2018 remaster)
