NewsOut This Week / on 18 May 2018
Bruce Springsteen / Album Collection, Vol. 2 1987-1996 (10LP vinyl box)
This follow-up to the 2014 box features ten vinyl records and probably SDE’s favourite Bruce Springsteen studio album, Tunnel of Love. Everything has been newly remastered and this comes with a 60-page book. 
Pink Floyd / Pulse (4LP vinyl box)
The 1995 Pink Floyd live album has been remastered from the original tapes. This 4LP box set also comes with a 52-page hardcover book.
Paul McCartney / Vinyl and CDs
With rumours of ‘proper’ reissues Wings’ Wildlife and Red Rose Speedway doing the rounds, for now we have to make do with album-only black and limited edition coloured vinyl pressings of Wings Greatest, Thrillington, New and Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. CDs also being issued. Re-releasing New – which is, after all, Paul’s last studio album – is a bizarre thing to do.
Wire / Multi-disc reissues (2CD & CD deluxe editions)
Wire‘s first three albums – Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154 are remastered and reissues in two and three-CD sets and all are presented as 80-page hardcover books – the size of a seven-inch single. Great value.
Pink Floyd / Relics (180g vinyl)
Relics came out in 1971, just before Meddle, and features tracks from Pink Floyd‘s first three albums. It has the subtitle A Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios. This is remastered.
Cockney Rebel / Vinyl and CD reissues
Cockney Rebel‘s The Human Menagerie and The Psychomodo are reissued on both vinyl and CD. The vinyl versions are all analogue – cut direct from the original tapes. These are album-only, with no bonus tracks.
Steve Miller Band / Complete Albums Vol 1 – 1968-1976
This new Steve Miller Band vinyl box set brings together the group’s first nine studio albums in a 9LP vinyl box.
Otis Redding / Dock of the Bay Sessions
Dock of the Bay Sessions is a 12-track compilation that attempts to paint a picture of what ‘the next’ Otis Redding album might have looked like had the singer not been tragically killed in a plane crash on 10 December 1967.
Marc Bolan & T. Rex / The Final Cuts (RSD red vinyl)
Demon Records are making some of their RSD 2018 releases more widely available this week and this is a vinyl picture disc of the 2006 Marc Bolan release that features some of his last T Rex recordings.

Desire (RSD 2018) [VINYL]
Polish-born Basia made her name with Matt Bianco in the mid-80s, but left with Danny White after the first album to concentrate on her solo career. Her first two albums were very successful commercially, particularly in the US, but she took a near 20-year break from music in the late ’90s which explains why Butterflies is only her sixth studio album. Danny White returns to collaborate.
