Paul McCartney / Tug of War and Pipes of Peace reissues

Five years after Paul McCartney kicked off his Archive Collection reissue series with Band on the Run, he puts out deluxe sets of the widely admired Tug of War and the slightly less admired Pipes of Peace.

Garbage / debut album box set

Garbage‘s 1995 debut reissued in two separate vinyl packages and a two-CD deluxe. Bizarrely demos and remixes are digital only.

The Sound of McAlmont & Butler reissued

A post-Suede Bernard Butler bounced back with the collaborative The Sound of McAlmont and Butler featuring the singles Yes and You Do. Three-disc and five-disc deluxe available.

Janet Jackson / Unbreakable

Janet Jackson returns with a new album Unbreakable. This limited edition is rather silly. It contains the same 17-tracks as the standard album but with ‘eyes closed’ artwork. Whatever will they think of next, a limited edition ‘finger up nose’ cover art?

Alison Moyet / Deluxe reissues

Double-disc deluxe edition of Alison Moyet’s ‘noughties’ albums featuring remixes, demos, B-sides and live tracks.

Psychedelic Furs / Midnight to Midnight (vinyl reissue)

The Psychedelic Furs 1987 album reissued on on 180g vinyl with heavyweight sleeve and inner bag. Initial pressings include a bonus coloured seven-inch vinyl of the bands 1986 re-recording of Pretty In Pink backed by the US remix of Love My Way from the Forever Now LP.

Jimmy Nail / Crocodile Shoes (box set)

British readers will remember actor/musician Jimmy Nail’s mid-nineties BBC TV series about a Geordie factory worker who makes country music in his spare time. The companion album was a big seller in the UK with original songs by Nail and Prefab Sprout’s Paddy McAloon. This CD+2DVD box features the original album, seven bonus tracks and the entire series on DVD. A series two box also available. Jimmy Nail was last seen in Sting’s The Last Ship broadway production.

Oscar Peterson / Exclusively For My Friends (8CD box)

Eight CDs of the Canadian Jazz pianist’s legendary recording sessions, made in the living room of MPS Records producer Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer.

Rolfe Kent / Sideways (burgundy vinyl)

Silva Screen release this limited edition burgundy vinyl pressing of Rolfe Kent‘s jazzy soundtrack to Alexander Payne’s classic 2004 film Sideways.

Suede / Dog Man Star (Edsel classic)

There have been many expanded reissues of Suede‘s Dog Man Star, but the 12-track album stands alone as one of the best long-players of the 1990s. This ‘Edsel Classic’ version is simply a budget ‘album-only’ reissue but done with some style (see this post for pictures of similar sets).

Trivium / Silence in the Snow deluxe edition

US Metal band Trivium release their seventh studio album which is available in this deluxe CD/T-shirt bundle.

David Bowie / Space Oddity (7″ pic disc)

David Bowie‘s Space Oddity reissued as seven-inch picture disc to celebrate the 40th anniversary of when it went to number one in the UK.
