Scritti Politti / CD and vinyl reissues CD, Vinyl

Boney M / The Magic of Boney M Vinyl
Sony release a new 2LP coloured vinyl edition of classic Boney M. compilation The Magic of Boney M. By no means essential, but it’s fairly well priced for what it is and if you have a Boney M.-shaped hole in your vinyl collection, you know what to do! There’s also a CD edition.
Pearl Jam / Rear View Mirror (Greatest Hits) 2LP vinyl
Pearl Jam’s 2004 ‘best of’ is issued on vinyl for the first time outside the USA. This was originally a 4LP set but 18 years later, these have been split into two separate volumes. Volume 1 (“Up”) contains the band’s heavier rock songs, while the Volume 2 (“Down”) consists of slower songs and ballads. You can’t pick up the original US pressing on Discogs for less than £250, so this is great for fans.
