A thread for the Siouxsie reissues

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

the NME are all over this reissue.

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.

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.

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).

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.

I'm guessing the repeated tracks are alternates or demos or the like.

"You have got to check out the Siouxsie & The Banshees Nocturne DVD. Not only does it have the original live concert with Robert, but two TV
appearances with Mr. Smith as well. Plus one of the Bonus features is a BBC TV Special that i'd probably only read about, but had never seen.
It is basically filmed LSD. Robert, Sioux, Budgie, and Severin all dressed as Alice visit Wonderland (also the name of the Banshees record label). While in Wonderland, Robert gets interrogated by surreal clowns, then there's a segway into a Creatures' video, then a Glove performance (!!) of "A Blues In Drag", Sioux tells a story, and more bizarro mini-films. It just has to be seen - a must for any Cure fan."

I occasionally see Mr Severin in my local curry house - if I get a chance I'll ask him.

I shan't get this, as the best stuff is on the Scream 2CD thing.

Oh alright, I probably will get it.
