Out This Week / 17 February 2014
The Auteurs / New Wave expanded edition
The 1993 debut from The Auteurs is expanded with 21 bonus tracks including the demos that got Luke Haines’ band signed in the first place.
Suede / Vinyl Reissues
Having issued the vinyl box last year, Demon Records are putting out all Suede‘s albums on vinyl individually, including this 3LP Sci-Fi Lullabies set.
Ocean Colour Scene / Marchin’ Already box set
Ocean Colour Scene‘s 1997 Marchin’ Already album is issued as a four-disc deluxe box set and their debut is also out today as a two-CD deluxe.
Small Faces / Greatest Hits: Immediate Years 1967-69
If the spectacular Here Come The Nice box was more Small Faces than you really wanted, then this one disc greatest hits might do the job. It uses the same excellent mastering as the box and all the singles are in glorious, original mono. There is a blue vinyl version available too, if you’re quick.
- • UK Order: Greatest Hits: The Immediate Years 1967 – 1969
- • USA Order: Greatest Hits: Immediate Years 1967-1969
Baader Meinhof expanded CD
Another Luke Haines reissue, this time the little heard Baader Meinhof album which was issued in 1996. Something of a lost classic, this expanded CD comes with five bonus tracks. Even better there is a vinyl reissue too.
Jon Anderson / Olias of Sunhillow
Jon Anderson‘s 1976 debut is issued as a hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) by audiophile specialists Audio Fidelity.
Paul McCartney / Off The Ground
McCartney‘s disappointing 1993 album Off The Ground is reissued today. With no bonus tracks and not even a remaster, it seems that MPL just want this title back in print.
Aztec Camera / High Land, Hard Rain expanded edition
A new expanded edition of Aztec Camera‘s 1983 debut is designed primarily for the US market but is widely available and betters the recent Edsel version with 14 bonus tracks.
