A thread for the Siouxsie reissues

middle-aged goth bank managers.

If they hadn't been doing the reissues, I would have

FINALLY

Further:

It appears the Banshees’ archival releases indeed won’t be limited to the final four reissues. Dropping further hints on the Banshees’ Facebook group, Severin this week wrote, “Something else drops on Oct. 20th. Another thing in November. Something in the New Year and something BIG in March.”

Well, these came out! But I have yet to get them, and it turns out maybe that was a good thing in one case:

Yeah that's annoying

I am really, really starting to sink into the oppressively smothering hollow shell that is Join Hands

Yeah, that was the last Siouxsie album I went back and got - 20 years after first getting into them!

Something about enduring MN-esque winter temperatures for the past 6 weeks for the first time in over 20 years combined with more concentrated snow than I've ever seen in my life has pushed me into the exact right headspace to appreciate every nook and cranny of this album, which has not kept me from looping "Icon" and "Playground Twist" for hours at a time.

that's a great album. it was unfairly maligned for a long time.

JH always seemed a bit short despite the superfluois padding (Lord's Prayer - yawn) but the highs (ICON! Premature Burial!) definitely kicked my ass as a wee goth

Join Hands was always the one that seemed the most remarkable to me. Like, Kaleidoscope has better jams, but Join Hands is just this dark vision

Yeah it shows the band that they could have been but I guess the departure of the rhytm section acted as a reset button for them

Not quite rhythm! (Guitarist/drummer.)

The Join Hands remaster is great.

And jeez, I forgot how punishing of an album it is. Squally squally distortion everywhere.

the vinyl remaster with the original artwork?

so, the new boxset.

having not heard the previous set of remasters with extra tracks, i have to say this new cheap-n-cheerful boxset of the first 6 albums (coverart by one of our own !), sounds fantastic.

or, am i not an enough of a fanboy to notice the subtle f*ck ups ?

wait who did the cover art don't make me buy this thing I have literally everything on it

in multiple formats

if they did an all-encompassing box covering the first two albums and attendant singles, and all previous....

"Oh, Ted, that would be amazin, woah yeah! Just that Ted..."

ahh : checked the post, not 'DID', but 'DIG'.
sorry to have raised excitement levels.
still, no left/right dropouts as mentioned on various s&b threads/discussion groups.
tis a very slimline boxset, no credits, nothing.
but, exactly what i wanted.
though having heard the 14 minute 'lords prayer' track, i aint so sure now !

haha

This box arrived at my house on Sunday. Ten minutes after I left for a week :(

this is exactly the kind of box set I want to replace my grocery bags full of cassettes.

thanks to thread bump for alerting me to this:

and wow, Downside Up sure needs a repress!

wow this box is cheap. i will probably buy it; I just sold almost all my cds but still.

xp yeah a Downside Up reissue for a reasonable price would be awesome. But please god not in a clamshell box.
