STUFF
JAPANESE WHISPERS IS DELETED AS THERE SEEMED LITTLE POINT IN REMASTERING AN ALBUM THAT WASNT REALLY AN ALBUM ANYWAYAND (AS HAS ALREADY BEEN POINTED OUT) ALL THE JW SONGS ARE AVAILABLE AS REMASTERS ON THE GREATEST HITS AND JOIN THE DOTS
AND 'OTHER' KMKMKM SONGS...
THIS WAS A DIFFICULT EXTRAS CD TO COMPILEAS THERE WERE REALLY TWO...ONE WITH 18 UNRELEASED AND B-SIDE INSTRUMENTAL DEMOS AND THE DEMOS/OUT-TAKES/LIVE ONE THAT IS TO BE RELEASED
ON BALANCE I (AND THOSE I PLAYED BOTH TO) FELT THAT THE DEMOS/OUT-TAKES/LIVE ONE WAS JUST MORE INTERESTING AS AN EXTRA WITH THE KMKMKM ALBUM...
MAYBE THE OTHER ONE WILL LEAK OUT SOMETIME...
ANYWAY...THESE NEXT REMASTERS REALLY DO SOUND FAB... PARTICULARLY THE TOP!RSX
AND (AS HAS ALSO ALREADY BEEN POINTED OUT)NOW ALL THE CURIOSITY TRACKS WILL BE AVAILABLEANDTHERE WILL BE AN 'ALL THE SINGLES' COLLECTION NEXT YEAR - WITH STARING AT THE SEA TYPE LINKS INBETWEENANDTHERE WILL BE A LIVE DVD BOXSETWITH ORANGEAND SHOWAND JAPAN(?)ANDANDOTHER SURPRISE STUFF

Killing An ArabCharlotte SometimesLet's Go To BedThe Love CatsThe WalkClose To Me (single version)Never Enough (7" version)Wrong NumberCut HereJust Say Yes
is anything else legitimately different enough to count as a new version? I'd save the 1990 Close To Me for a big remix compilation (urgent & key! except stick all the Wild Mood Swings versions on a WMS bonus disc.) did I forget any?

On the Seventeen Seconds remaster on Rhino (I just bought it recently!), has anyone experienced a glitch in the song toward the end of "M" (at 2:22)? I don't recall hearing it on the original Fiction, A&M or Elektra pressings, so I am wondering if the source tapes are bad now, if the remastering had errors or if Rhino made a bad batch.
Input appreciated! Thanks!!!
Highly anticipating the next batch of reissues! Believe it or not, the Sire tape of The Top was my first foray into Smith & Co., so The Top holds a special place in my once-13 year old heart, even if it is the most rubbish of the early albums.

i strongly disagree. i'd take The Top over Faith or Seventeen Seconds any ol' day

The Dinosaur Jr. reissues on Merge are lame, too. Extra tracks/demos just have to be floating around. Instead we get lame fucking videos that you can watch on VH1's The Alternative.
While rubbish like Fleetwood Mac and Yes get the grand reissue treatment, classics are left w/ poor audio fidelity:
The Pretenders - The PretendersNew Order - all back catalogueGang Of Four - Songs Of The Free (deleted in UK as well I believe)
These are all WEA-related albums (GOF was WEA in US), so why can't Rhino reissue these instead of the hated Mac and Yes?

Regarding things that were on official releases but haven't been re-mastered and re-issue on the box set or on the re-issues (since we now have the track listings through KMKMKM), I have the following things missing:
Primary (12" version)A Forest (live) and Killing An Arab (live) from A Single (The Hanging Garden) UK 2x7"Let's Go To Bed (12" version)Just One Kiss (12" version)Love Cats (12" version)In Between Days (12" version)Close to Me (12" version)Boys Don't Cry (New Voice/New Mix)Why Can't I Be You (12" version)Japanese Whispers (12" version)Kyoto Song (live) and A Night Like This (live) from Catch UK 12"
Now I don't have Greatest Hits so maybe a couple of these were released in re-mastered form there. Please correct me if so. Also, am I missing anything? Just trying to get it all sorted out, you understand.

LET ME DREAM
and oh yeah add Boys Don't Cry (New Voice/New Mix) to my list (ta matt2), though mainly because the New Voice/Club Mix can go on the EQUALLY IMAGINARY remix collection.
― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 31 May 2006 20:32 (eighteen years ago) link
There's the "Hot Hot Hot!!!" extended mix and the "Hey You!!!" extended mix. And I'm assuming that by "Japanese Whispers" you meant "A Japanese Dream"?
