Eagles / Hotel California (40th anniversary super deluxe)
The super deluxe edition of the Eagles 1977 album is a three disc set consisting of a remastered version of the original album, a live disc and a blu-ray audio with a 5.1 mix of the album. Not cheap.

ELO / Out Of The Blue (2LP vinyl picture disc)
Much delayed, but this ludicrously desirable double vinyl picture disc of ELO‘s Out Of The Blue is released on Friday. Don’t expect it to sound great, but you’ll likely already own the album, anyway!
XTC / Black Sea (CD+Blu-ray)
XTC continue to put out reissues that offer incredible content and value. Their 1980 album Black Sea features in this new two-disc set and includes 5.1 surround sound mixes and new stereo mixes by Steven Wilson, along with a host of extra audio and visual material.

Massive seven-CD Fall box set that gathers all their A and B-sides across a near forty year period. A three-CD edition with just the A-sides is also available.
