Japanese CD of the Day / Tears For Fears: Songs From The Big Chair

Posted on September 5, 2013September 5, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

While we wait patiently for The Hurting deluxe box set, for our rather irregular ‘Japanese CD of the Day’ feature we thought we’d look at the 2010 Japanese Paper Sleeve (mini-LP CD) reissue of Tears For Fears 1985 album Songs From The Big Chair.

This replicated the audio from the 2005 two-disc deluxe edition, but presented it with the usual Japanese panache. Each disc in this set was housed in its own wallet, with the sleeve for disc one replicating the original UK vinyl and the second disc in a wallet that used photographs from the era. The inner sleeve design was recreated and shrunk down to CD size, while this set even came with a two-sided, numbered card which reprinted the original vinyl label designs.

A larger-than-normal booklet contained Paul Lester’s essay about the album, and although largely in Japanese, the folded paper poster contained lyrics in English (even for the bonus tracks).

Catalogue number for this release was UICY-94430 and as stated on the OBI strip this was part of a “Golden ’80s Paper Sleeve Collection” (The Seeds Of Love was also issued at the same time). This is an “SHM-CD”. The SHM stands for Super High Material and it is suppposed to provide “enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic”. Although playable on all CD players, many remain unconvinced by the merits of SHM-CDs.

Nirvana lead second wave of rock/pop blu-ray audio releases

Posted on September 4, 2013September 5, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

Nirvana‘s Nevermind and In Utero are two of the titles being reissued this month on the Universal’s ‘High Fidelity – Pure Audio’ branded blu-ray audio discs.

Other albums issued include The Rolling Stones‘ classic Exile On Main Street, Queen‘s A Night At The Opera, Crime Of The Century by Supertramp and Beck’s Sea Change.

Like the first batch – that have had a rather staggered release around Europe these past few months – these forthcoming blu-ray audio reissues will offer no video content, just three hi-res stereo audio options: Full DTS Master Audio, PCM (Pulse Control Modulation uncompressed Sound) or Dolby True HD.

A big discussion point will be whether we get offered a 5.1 surround sound option to sit alongside the stereo audio, on any of these titles. In the booklets supplied with the first releases Universal state: “Where possible tracks will be available in 5.1 surround, but in order to pay respect to the original material this is not possible for every release”. Certainly the Queen title has been available in 5.1 on various other formats, so one would expect to see them include that.

Presumably, In Utero will be the new Steve Albini remaster, but it is curious that this blu-ray audio wasn’t mentioned in the press release for that reissue, and will it come with the 32 bonus tracks you get on the similarly priced 2CD deluxe edition?

At the moment these are only available from Amazon Germany, with a release date of 20 September. We will update this page if and when other territories get these releases!

Def Leppard / “Viva! Hysteria”

Posted on September 4, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

Viva! Hysteria is a 2CD+DVD deluxe live set from Def Leppard recorded earlier this year as part of the rock band’s Las Vegas residency.

The calling card for this performance was the fact that they played their mega-selling 1987 album Hysteria in full, as well as other highlights from their career.

As well as the deluxe 2CD+DVD, Viva! Hysteria is available on Blu-ray and DVD, and is released on 21 October 2013.

FIRST PICTURES: Mike Oldfield / “Crises” box set and deluxe edition

Posted on September 3, 2013September 3, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

Mike Oldfield‘s Crises reissue is out this week. A review of the music will come later, but for your pleasure, we present this photo gallery of the five-disc box and the two-CD deluxe edition.

The box measures around 20cm x 15.5cm and is similar to other Universal sets including the T.Rex Electric Warrior super deluxe edition. While the two-disc deluxe has a glossy finish, the box opts for a matt laminated coating and Terry llot’s cover painting survives the transition from square to rectangle rather well.

The 38 page hardcover book tells the story of the album effectively, with lots of photos of memorabilia, including concert tickets, picture discs and record sleeves. Apart from the book there are no ‘extras’ in the box like the art cards and poster included with Electric Warrior, and unlike that set – and the forthcoming Tears For Fears / The Hurting box – the discs are not in gatefold wallets, rather simple, single sleeves.

The design doesn’t vary for the cover of each disc sleeve (3CDs and 2DVDs) so they are numbered top right, for easy reference. The box comes with one of those ribbons, to help to get the contents easily from the box.

The deluxe set is an eight-panel gatefold digipack and the 16-page booklet contains the same essay as the book, along with a selection of photos.

The box set has actually sold out, but Universal are pressing some more, so availability should not be an issue. Full track listing and more details here.

Paul McCartney / “New” album announced for October

Posted on August 30, 2013September 2, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

new_cover — This is the cover of “New” – Paul McCartney’s new album

Paul McCartney‘s new album is to be called ‘New’ and will be released on 14 October 2013.

The record will be McCartney’s first ‘proper’ studio album since 2007’s Memory Almost Full, his longest gap between pop records in his 50-year career.

The title track for the album has been made available, with Paul describing it to the BBC as “catchy”, adding, “it’s summery, it’s a love song. I think people will recognise it as definitely me.”

The track was produced by Mark Ronson, but four different producers have contributed to the album, including Paul Epworth, who co-wrote and produced Adele’s Bond theme Skyfall. Ethan Johns and, most intriguingly Giles Martin (son of George, of course), are the other two producers who worked on the record.

‘New’ will be a 12-track album, with iTunes showing a ‘Deluxe Edition’ of 14 tracks. There is likely to be a physical deluxe too, with enhanced packaging, as well as a vinyl version. It will be interesting to see with McCartney bothers with physical single releases.

No song titles are currently available, other than ‘New’. Amazon US have a pre-order available for the standard CD.

Three tracks on the live disc – I’m Free, Tommy’s Holiday Camp and We’re Not Gonna Take It – are taken from later shows of the same era.

The box will also include a poster and an 80-page hardcover book with slip case (looks similar to the Quadrophenia one included in the Director’s Cut box). The book will feature, amongst other things, a 20,000-word essay by Who aficionado Richard Barnes.

A 2CD Deluxe Edition version will also be available, as well as a double vinyl edition.

Oh Yes We Can Love: A History Of Glam Rock / Sneak peek at artwork

Posted on August 29, 2013August 30, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

Universal’s forthcoming 5-disc box set, Oh Yes We Can Love: A History Of Glam Rock box set stirred up some controversy when it was first announced here earlier this month, thanks to it’s broad definition of what ‘glam rock’ represents and its exploration of glam’s roots combined with an examination of its influence in the 21st century. A lively debate ensued with comments ranging from “really impressed” and “excellent track listing” to “terrible waste of an opportunity”!

Whichever side of the fence you choose to sit, we thought you might be interested in an exclusive peak inside the superb 100-page booklet, which is full of great single art, fun glam ‘factz’ and an essay by Barney Hoskyns.

All artwork below is by Phil Smee and the GlamFactz are written by Mark Wood and Daryl Easlea.

Oh Yes We Can Love: A History Of Glam Rock 5CD box is issued on 28 October. Track listings and further details on this set can be found here.

Gary Moore / Back On The Streets expanded CD reissue

Posted on August 29, 2013August 29, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

Universal Music will reissue an expanded version of Gary Moore’s first solo album, Back On The Streets on 23 September 2013.

The album is remastered by Andy Pearce and features four B-sides / alternate versions as extra tracks. An updated booklet includes notes by Malcolm Dome, in addition to photos of memorabilia.

Back On The Streets was originally released in 1978 and is best known for the UK top 10 single Parisienne Walkways, which features Phil Lynott. The album also features a cover of Thin Lizzy’s Don’t Believe A Word.

Back On The Streets track listing

1. Back On The Streets
2. Don’t Believe A Word (with Phil Lynott vocal)
3. Fanatical Fascists
4. Flight Of The Snow Moose
5. Hurricane
6. Song For Donna
7. What Would You Rather Bee Or A Wasp

Suede / The Vinyl Collection box set

Posted on August 28, 2013August 28, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

Suede have announced The Vinyl Collection, a numbered 11xLP box set which contains new vinyl pressings of all of their studio albums to date, and also finds space for 1997 B-side compilation Sci-Fi Lullabies. The latter, and A New Morning, are issued on vinyl for the first time as part of this set, which will be limited to 1500 copies.

All LPs remastered on 180 gram vinyl except Bloodsports which is pressed on 140 gram, using the existing master. The box also comes with a an exclusive book with 2013 interviews with the band and photos.

To be honest, we hesitate to recommend a Suede box set after the shameful debacle that was the Bloodsports deluxe box set. But as if to underline how crap that was, this new box is ALL their albums on vinyl for only £30 more than the Bloodsports deluxe, which gave you one LP, a CD, a book and a USB-thingy.

The new vinyl box is available EXCLUSIVELY through a new Suede online store. The first 150 pre-orders come with a free t-shirt and a tote bag. We think you are supposed to order the ‘fan bundle’ version on the site and hope for the best (it’s the same price as the non-fan bundle version). Just to show that Suede still don’t quite ‘get it’ when it comes to selling online, potential purchasers are told that “T-shirt sizing will be random” and “cannot be specified” when purchasing. That’s all right then.

The Vinyl Collection ships ‘on or before’ 21 October and you get an instant MP3 downloads of the whole thing when you pre-order.

You can place your order the box/bundle by clicking here.

The Vinyl Collection contains:

• Suede
• Dog Man Star (Double)
• Coming Up
• Head Music (Double)
• A New Morning
• Bloodsports
• Sci-Fi Lullabies (Triple)

+ an exclusive book with 2013 interviews with the band and photography.

The Grateful Dead / Sunshine Daydream concert box sets

Posted on August 28, 2013August 28, 2013 by Paul Sinclair

In August 1972, the Grateful Dead travelled to the US city of Veneta, in Oregon to throw a benefit concert for Chuck and Sue Kesey’s creamery. The Kesey’s had reached out to the rock band via Chuck’s brother Ken (author of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest) because their yoghurt making operation was low on funds. On 27 August, a stage was duly erected, tickets were printed on the fronts of the Creamery’s yogurt labels and the gig generated enough money to keep the business afloat.

The whole thing was filmed and recorded and is know as the Sunshine Daydream concert. It has become one of the most talked-about shows in the Dead’s history.

On 16 September the full concert will be issued on CD and vinyl in two separate box sets. The 3CD box comes with a DVD that includes the previously unreleased Sunshine Daydream concert film featuring remastered picture and all new stereo and 5.1 audio mixes (done by Jeffrey Norman at TRI Studios).

The audio from the complete concert has been mixed and mastered to HDCD from the original 16 track tapes by Jeffrey Norman. The 4LP box doesn’t come with the video but is pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl.

A 3CD+Blu-ray version and some other exclusives are available direct from the Grateful Dead’s official website.
