"It seems they're finally releasing Nocturne on DVD soon too."

Having investigated further I'm now seeing different and conflicting information and release dates everywhere! Does anyone here actually know for certain what's happening about this?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:54 (eighteen years ago) link

It was supposed to come out on DVD a few months back but Severin posted saying they halted this because it was being done without band approval, and that they wanted to arrange for more extras and goodies and etc. Mind you, I'd be interested to see *what* exactly they do with it, since of course it features one R. Smith prominently and Mr. Severin's feelings towards him are different from those of Ms. Sioux.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Which one of them has "Fat Bob" fallen out with at the moment? He seems to have had a fairly volatile relationship with both of them over the years....

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Why, Siouxsie of course. Severin and Smith are currently working together happily enough on the Glove reissue.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Well Siouxsie hates them both, right?

This means that as each album is reissued without a nice extra disc, they won't look as 'important' as the Cure. Right?

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Look. Today I found PR, photos, and clips for the Dreamshow DVD;

does she hate them or have a hard time working with them. i can not imagine that robert is a barrel of laughs, nor severin to be quite honest... and i am not saying that she is probably an angel herself, but... realistically speaking. i am sure none of them make it easy on each other.

"Severin and Smith are currently working together happily enough on the Glove reissue."

"This means that as each album is reissued without a nice extra disc, [Siouxsie And The Banshees] won't look as 'important' as the Cure. Right?"

I wonder if there'll be a bonus disc with the reissue of Blue Sunshine?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:46 (eighteen years ago) link

methinks that the rofles are plentier with Bob and Steve...

TS: Night out with Bob and Severin vs. Suzie and Budgie?

Baaderonixx on a long black leash (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:48 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost yes as it's a Cure tie-in.

Didn't they appear on the Oxford Road Show, back in...

"i can not imagine that robert is a barrel of laughs, nor severin to be quite honest..."

When they're together 'though, they're like Laurel and Hardy, only with a substantially larger drug habit.

"This is another fine mess you've gotten me into Severin"

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Severin's last message on the Glove reissue indicated there would indeed be a bonus disc.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 14:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Ooooh. Mrs. Clarke isn't going to be too happy about that then, is she?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 14:30 (eighteen years ago) link

"When they're together 'though, they're like Laurel and Hardy, only with a substantially larger drug habit."

LOL

though i think i would rather spend a night with siouxsie and budgie, a) the shit-talking would be better and b) the cats...

ehbenoit, Tuesday, 23 August 2005 17:44 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...
So many things...
Yes I wish Bad Shape were on there, but just like the cure reissues--loookitallthestuff! and furthermore...GIMMMEE!!!

don't do a disservice to the excellent album tracks on kaliedescope please!

If these are following the cure format, expect bsides to be omitted, there's a box set for that for both bands.

There will be a reissue of The Glove LP with the cure reissues!
I can't wait to have siouxsie and pitts--I mean Nocturne on DVD! Robert's guitar is so cool looking!

I can't wait the most for Hyeana remastered---it needs it the most out of all of them so we can hear all the crazy stuff going on!

But, I can't wait to BLAST LAND'S END out into the neighborhood.

Finally, I always buy the remaster because there's always a reason to inside, and I keep the old packaging in the new--my old cure cassette and cd covers fit nicely in the cure packaging, so if these are the same....

And finally, I have the A Short Term Effect live version that was remastered for Pornography and it FAR surpasses the remastering on their reissue. Why? because to remaster and have everything level out, you lose some quality on some tracks and gain on others--you look for the happy medium, so expect the extras to sound a little different from what you are used to.

Blah blah blah, blah blah.

Sounds like Dan has been eating them choco-pops...

one month passes...
so 2 banshees questions. how come MAKE UP TO BREAK UP is so well known if it's never been released until now? and secondly how come it hasn't been released until now?

piscesboy, Friday, 21 October 2005 08:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Because it was shown as part of Tony Wilson's two 'different' punk retrospective TV progs that we videotaped and played semi-regularly, and often gets shown in isolation, mainly because Mick Hucknell is moshing stage front.

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:30 (eighteen years ago) link

ah yeah and its in 24 hr party people. but it's like *famous* isn't it?

hoow come they didnt release it? or re-issue it til 2005!!

the NME are all over this reissue.

piscesboy, Friday, 21 October 2005 08:36 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...
Right. Finally got this over the weekend. ME HAPPY. And I'm listening to it now, and yes the damn thing sounds great.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 November 2005 04:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Note to self: check back when Juju comes out.

Edward III (edward iii), Thursday, 17 November 2005 16:41 (eighteen years ago) link

So I believe Dan had something to say about this reissue.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 November 2005 17:48 (eighteen years ago) link

It is fucking awesome.

Also it is way way way better than Three Imaginary Boys and if Siouxsie hadn't done that stupid swastika shit, I'd have been all on her jock from the get-go as opposed to avoiding her like the plague for fear of encountering some neo-Nazi bullshit.

Dan ("Mirage" And "Metal Postcard" Are Completely Brilliant) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 November 2005 17:52 (eighteen years ago) link

The opening to "Mirage" is really quite amazing, it's a truly 'metallic' sound that's unlike most other guitar of the period.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 November 2005 17:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I've often thought it's a real shame that John McKay and Kenny Morris just seemed to completely disappear after quitting The Banshees

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 28 November 2005 19:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, The Scream is quite something, although I don't really feel compelled to pick up this re-issue. The guitar sound on this is just amazing, e.g. on 'Mirage' or 'Switch'. Plus, it's got SATB's finest moment, i.e. 'Overground'

Baaderonixx weaves a daisy chain for... SATAN!! (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 09:39 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost Yeah, I think it was one of those situations where they got such a bad rep from the ones that they left behind that no-one wanted to know.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 09:47 (eighteen years ago) link

two months pass...
Any news about more reissues. They MUST do the whole lot!

I have played The Scream reissue more than anything else this year. The Peel and Pathway sessions are just SO fantastic. Her voice is great - quite girlish and playful on the likes of Mirage, HKG, Carcass espec, with none of the goth foghorn that she sometimes lapsed into later. We all talk about McGeoch and Budgie, but McKay and Morris sound terrific. McKay's metallic tone sounds better on the sessions than on the album, where Lilywhite takes the edge off a touch. I wonder if it's Pete Fenton playing guitar on 'Make-Up..'? Maybe I should read the sleeve notes! The Peel version of Overground is amazing too - (why did I never bother with the Peel sessions before this?) - love the little organ on it. I could talk about this all day.

Dr.C (Dr.C), Thursday, 2 February 2006 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

It's a great, great reissue, that's for sure. Might have to dig it out again tonight!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 February 2006 15:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Do you reckon there are more in the pipeline, Ned?

Dr.C (Dr.C), Thursday, 2 February 2006 15:24 (eighteen years ago) link

The word was that the rest will indeed be reissued, but not necessarily in double-disc format. Since the Downside Up box has all the B-sides, they're doing like they did with the Cure and not attached said B-sides to the reissues. Beyond that, news has been kinda sporadic.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 February 2006 15:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I played this reissue to death, as well. Honestly, I'd probably have been a much larger punk booster had I heard this before I heard the Sex Pistols; "Metal Postcard", "Suburban Relapse" and "Switch" are just godly.

Dan (Mmmmmmm) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 2 February 2006 16:07 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost - Well, yes the b-sides are on the boxset, but I was hoping for more radio sessions (Kid Jensen, Richard Skinner/ J.Peel 79/81 sessions) live and outtakes.

I am disappointed that The Scream didn't include the whole of the Riverside session and the preceding Track studios session (Scraphead/20th C Boy/Captain Scarlet/Psychic).

Dr.C (Dr.C), Thursday, 2 February 2006 16:29 (eighteen years ago) link

The Scream reissue is just fantastic!
Will some other albums really reissued this month?
I hope so, I am a new fan and I just can't wait. :)

"Her voice is great - quite girlish and playful on the likes of Mirage, HKG, Carcass espec, with none of the goth foghorn that she sometimes lapsed into later."

She had to completely re-learn how to sing at one point (around '79-'80 iirc) because unfortunately she was developing nodules or something and was in imminent danger of destroying her voice completely.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Saturday, 11 February 2006 20:57 (eighteen years ago) link

duckfeeling, Sunday, 26 February 2006 22:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Have "Infantry" and "Sitting Room" been released before or are they unheard archive tracks? This is all very exciting.

sleeve (sleeve), Sunday, 26 February 2006 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

More bonus tracks less replace-the-annoying-scratch-on-nightshift please.

Onimo (GerryNemo), Monday, 27 February 2006 00:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I assume the version of "Eve White Eve Black" is different to the one on the 'B'-side of "Christine" and (presumably) Downside Up?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 27 February 2006 11:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd assume its the same.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 27 February 2006 11:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Why would they include that one B-side when they've carefully excluded all the others?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 27 February 2006 11:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm hoping EWEB and Paradise Place are the Leeds Futurama live versions that were on TV (can't remember the show).

Dr. C (Dr. C), Monday, 27 February 2006 11:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, it's very unlikely it'd be the Downside Up one.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 February 2006 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I just got the "scream" one, £8.99 !

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 12:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 12:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, from the "Sound Machine"

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 14:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Why can't they do a reissue that's just 15 versions of "Night Shift"?

Dan (Fuck The Mothers, Kill The Others) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 14:58 (eighteen years ago) link

what is the bonus "icon"? live?
