forthcoming boxset of all six albums remastered on vinyl

I moved cities a couple of months ago and didn't bring my record player (or much of anything else besides my clothes and laptop) and tbh i doubt i'll ever get a record player because i feel less attached to physical media by the day (yes, I know that the cloud and digital isn't forever and physical media is Actually Good for preservation etc) but i still want this set so badly

diamond life and promise were dollar bin staples a few years ago, super easy to find great copies for cheap. don't know if that's still the case. i've never seen anything from tld onward in a bin. used cds on the other hand are plentiful iirc.
what i would personally kill for otoh is a complete set of remixes on vinyl.

you can still find lots of their records in used bins cheap yes, and they sound great. tough to think of another act less in need of a remastering job.

i actually just got used copies of diamond life and stronger than pride back in June! I'd never heard stronger than pride before and i just love how vaporous the record is

murgatroid otmmaybe setting aside a week or two for a nonstop sade listening party isn't a bad idea
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 3 September 2020 15:51 (three years ago) link
two things in life will never change: 1) the sun will always be hot and 2) sade will always rule.
and yes, stronger than than pride is probably the most overlooked sade album. after love deluxe (which will never be topped by anyone), pride has always been my #2 pick, easily.

fuck! i'm sorry, mixcloud has really gone overboard with the efforts to not get copyright dinged. the tracklist used to be there. i didn't write it down anywhere else, so hang tight, i'm gonna dig through discogs info and see if i can get it compiled again.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Thursday, 3 September 2020 20:11 (three years ago) link
Haha lol ok thanks. Am listening now. Love the vinyl crackles :)

62 today!

there was a really good video essay recently on the trash theory youtube channel that got into some specifics about the early years of the band that i didn't know about.
anyway, that's fine i'm just on my sunday evening bullshit and wanted any reason to post a general appreciation of the thin lizzy cover that came out to entice folks to buy that ultimate collection set. i bought just the track on itunes lol. crazy to think that was a decade ago. nothing revelatory and still absolutely magic. big sigh.

no expectations for a next record at this point, but it's silly to deny my desire in wanting to see that happen. which it probably won't. but gee whizz, if it did!

they are supposed to be have been working on a new album for a bit now actually
― ufo, Monday, 15 November 2021 04:22 (two years ago) link
indeed, but i won't hold my breath — in a nice way.
same feelings i have about people like andre3000, maxwell, and erykah badu releasing new records. "be nice if it happens."
― the beginning of the end of discourse. (Austin), Monday, 15 November 2021 04:32 (two years ago) link
with sade though the obstacle has usually just been them all being ready to work on a new album, so i'm not too worried now that it's in progress

Andrew Hale (from the band) was on Test Pressing's radio show at the weekend for a Sade special. They only seem to have recorded the first hour but I went into the chatroom and asked what was happening with a new Sade album and near the end of the show he confirmed it is being actively worked on.

lol they've always taken forever? it's going to happen unless one of them keels over and even then it will probably happen. like planting tulip bulbs.

all those early records are an endless horizon i just keep going back to them over and over, constant rotation
― marcos, Monday, 15 November 2021 17:42 (two years ago) link
i don't think i'll ever tire of them
we watched the video for "sweetest taboo" again over the weekend - it's aged very well imo.
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Monday, 15 November 2021 17:59 (two years ago) link
agree those records do just seem to age better and better. so very, very classic.
if anybody wants that b-sides collection upthread as a download, lmk.
― the beginning of the end of discourse. (Austin), Monday, 15 November 2021 19:12 (two years ago) link
and yes re:the visuals with the band. just, everything, like i said: so very, very classic.
truly wonderful band.

Thanks for getting me to watch her videos, few of which I had ever seen. Great and timeless indeed ('Turn My Back on You' and 'When Am I Gonna Make a Living' could have come out today).

I don’t have anything to add on Sade, except that I once saw a mean tweet from Tracy Thorne about “Soldier of Love”, and it has basically made me dislike TT forever since

Tracey's a big fan though

I didn't appreciate her nearly enough when Diamond Life came out (it got overplayed at our record store), but her records have aged remarkably well. In addition to a fantastic voice and amazing presence, she's just cool as hell. A star.

i found stronger than pride in the glove compartment of my boyfriends car a few weeks ago while we were driving around with the windows down. so good and tbh i've never felt cooler.

rest well mp☮️🕉
thank you for sharing that news, map and big co-sign on stronger than pride. that one's probably aged the best of her catalogue by this point. "turn my back on you" is such a standout no matter where or when i hear it.

Just relistened and nope, still great. The stereo panning on the palm-muted electric guitar under Sade's silken vocals is such a great textural touch.
