Over on another music forum, there's an all-encompassing Reissue Thread (started by yours truly) which has been running for several years. A place for anything to do with reissued albums, boxsets, deluxe editions. News of upcoming releases. Recommendations. Ones you've bought. The good, the bad and the downright ugly. Absolutely anything you feel is worthy of sharing here for the benefit of other music lovers! EG.
What a great idea for a thread! I am seriously considering getting this (the 8 CD version) next month.
I find those SDE unboxing videos a tough watch as Paul never keeps the things still! If I didn't already own all the Blondie albums (as those remasters from a while back), and also own the Singles boxset, I might have been tempted. EG.
Ah, but these are remastered from the original tapes. So they’ll be better. I’ve also preordered this, as you know. Shakespears Sister’s Hormonally Yours is the next SDE-exclusive blu-ray audio – SuperDeluxeEdition
Yep, and I nearly missed out on this until you mentioned it yesterday...which is why we need this thread Blu-ray audio is such a rare thing these days, so anytime one comes along, especially if it's an album I really like, I will try and support its release. Even if it's quite pricey. EG.
People here will still start dedicated threads on each and every title, so I doubt this will work here as duplication never goes well here. The MOFI controversy kept trying to break off in separate threads and kept getting shut down.
It's a place to just talk about any reissues that are around. Not everyone has the time or interest to dig into individual threads and keep checking the main page(s). But if the idea tanks on here, so be it. Speaking of Blu-Ray Audio, this is one Pink Floyd album I've never owned and I'm quite tempted by it: EG.
A no brainer — includes the forum-approved Guthrie/Plante HD digital transfer of the original mix, plus the new-ish 2018 mix in lossless stereo and 5.1 surround
Yes, I always like it when a Blu-Ray or Hi-Res release includes the original as well. It's a big selling point for me. EG.
Great idea for a thread I have this one on pre-order too Yes, they are very pricey. Also because I have to pay import duties. Another disadvantage of Brexit
Dexys Midnight Runners / Too-Rye-Ay ‘as it should have sounded’ 40th anniversary reissue – SuperDeluxeEdition I might have gone for this, but the lack of a ‘as it shouldn’t have sounded option’ is a worry.
Oh jeez, Kevin up to his revisionist tricks again. How many versions of Don't Stand Me Down did we get, that we were told were the definitive one? EG.
The second box of Joni Mitchell's Asylum albums is on the way: Very nice sleeve, something different to the usual thing we get for Joni. I probably won't be buying this though, as I wasn't impressed with Vol.1's quality control. The design, and the mastering were both a bit off for me. The replica sleeves didn't fit properly in the case! This set will mark the first time Miles of Aisles has been remastered, I think? EG.

Yea, I'm hopeful it is worthwhile. It looks like a mixed bag, but is apparently what was salvageable from a film project they wanted to release at the time.
Iris-Wrath 2005/2022 Beautiful art-book. Dependent (Germany) has been doing these for a few years now. While the mastering suffer's from 2000's brick-eria, this new one is a little better not as harsh as the old disc. Some of the mixes are a little different than the old album. Nice bonus disc which includes some extra's and mixes.
The 1997 HDCD was remastered and restored all of the between-song banter, much of which has been edited out on the original CD.
I'm assuming I have that HDCD one - I got it up in London about 15-20 years ago...probably the big HMV, maybe Fopp. If the new box has gatefold sleeves, it might be tempting to have Miles in that form. EG.

The 50th Anniversary Thick As A Brick vinyl, supposedly limited to 2k copies pressed, and released Friday is selling out fast. Checked Acoustic Sounds this morning, still said In Stock, tonight they're out.
Manic Street Preachers' 2002 album Know Your Enemy has been "reconfigured" back to its intended 2-album format. It's the one album from their 1992-2007 period which I have never really warmed to, and this might be why. It ended up a compromise. So, looking forward to hearing the extra songs, and everything compiled as first planned. Plus the new artwork is an improvement. EG.
