Albums Released in 1969 - Possible 50th Anniversary Editions

Abbey Road we KNOW is going to come out.
Let It Bleed? I have to wonder if Abkco owns anything in the Stones vault from this period?
In The Court of the Crimson King-I'm happy with the Steve Wilson remix, various KCCC releases so don't need anything else.
Then Play On? We got an expanded edition already. Again, I have to wonder what else is in the vault? I doubt much.
A Salty Dog? Just released as an expanded edition.
Arthur?-Maybe if the Village Green box does well. I'm sure that Andrew is on top of it.
Free? Seems like Rodgers is the main obstacle on expanded editions.


God forbid ALL of those on the list get re-released. I will die of starvation.

 

I always thought (and still do) that we may have a chance of getting Ummagumma with some extra tracks added to the live disc, such as Interstellar Overdive.

 

nice work

I am very interested in 5.1 mixes, not so much anniversary re-releases ... unless an album had some technical flaw corrected or some such thing...

I would like

Abbey Road
Let It Bleed
Led Zep 2
Sly - Stand
Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul
Zappa - Hot Rats
Zappa - Uncle Meat
Tim Buckley - happy Sad

and maybe a few others, to be considered for a 5.1 remix/release ... if they were recorded in such a way as for it to be possible, and the multitracks are usable

 

I had heard rumors of a deluxe box set with ALL the music from the festival on 30 CD's. However, this was a couple of years ago and have not heard anything official since then. I do live in the town of Woodstock, and I can tell you businesses are already gearing up for the influx of tourists to the area!

 

The Shaggs - Philosophy of the World.

 

Quite the the year wasn’t it? I turned 17 in 1969.

 

........and a similar Creedence Clearwater Revival set while they're at it!

 

Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa will definitely get an anniversary reissue

 

Small chance with the Early Years box around. Might be a nice one for RSD maybe.

 

Abbey road will be reissued, no doubt. And I hope Then Play On in the same style as the 70s Fleetwood Mac Deluxe releases.

Tommy would surprise me, would prefer if they focus on the 2020 anniversary of Who's Next.

I also expect the Soft Parade.

 

Please elaborate. We already have the 2001/2002 Island remasters with bonus tracks, plus the Songs of Yesterday box (with some overlap). Is Rodgers stopping release of additional material?

 

Since Abbey Road is my most favoured album by The Beatles, I'm hoping 26 September 2019 provides some good news.

 

Very ahead of its time with the album cover.

 

Yes, I was thinking that. The woman in the centre top looks straight out of the 80s! The others less so. According to this site: Plain and Fancy: Rust - Come With Me (1969 aussie / uk, substantial fuzzed psych hard rock) even though the band were a trio, none of the people pictured on the front cover were members. Apparently the real members were pictured on the back cover. Wonder who the guys on the front cover actually were though?

 

I'd love a complete Yellow Submarine!

 

Dunno if you're joking or not, but is there any additional material from 1968/9 that's known to exist by them outside the album?

 

There was a CD version (it had the drawing of Foot Foot on the cover rather than the iconic group shot )
that came out in the late 80's with a bunch of bonus tracks. I'm on my way to work soon,
but I'll try to have more info for you later today.

The Shaggs - The Shaggs

 

Really bizarre cover. Some solid garage psych within, though. From what I've gleaned, they were a trio of expats (two British & "Creepy" John Thomas from Australia) who formed for the summer in Germany and managed to put out an album during their short existence.

 

I'd love Zep to start boxes with everything from a year

For example:

'1969'

- Zep I & Zep II newly mixed in stereo and 5.1. Hi res available
- Instrumental mixes
- REAL alternates, outtakes, sessions, rare mono single versions and edits, etc
- Live concerts from 1969
- Photo gallery & memorabilia from 1969

Let's say, something like a 5 CDs + 2 Blu Ray

 

A few I'd get.
Five Leaves Left
Neil Young self title
Morrison Hotel
Hot Rats
VU 3rd

 

The Doors - The Soft Parade is coming in Aug-Sept.

 

What goodies is that going to include ?

 

CD 3
1. “I Am Troubled”
2. “Seminary School” (“Petition The Lord With Prayer”) - new version
3. “Rock Is Dead” – full version (new)
4. “Chaos” - new

CD 2. Mixes with new solos of Robbie and Manzarek on lead voc.

 

Surely there not going to let the opportunity pass without releasing let it bleed in a few deluxe formats?

Do abkco have any unreleased material from that era ? We’ll probably get a Flexi disc and lyric video again.
