Oh, yeah, I forgot. What about the group New Muzik, who I enjoyed greatly? Haven't seen any on CD.

― matt riedl (veal), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

unfortunately, the cd stewart linked is the not so good 90's reunion gig stuff. the original ? and the Mysterians stuff is still in print via http://www.acerecords.co.uk/">Ace in the UK.

The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads

I remember not especially liking this, even back when I liked the Talking Heads a lot more, but I think I remember preferring the version of "Drugs" here (and also liking "Psycho Killer").

I did mention "96 Tears" by way of saying "Cameo/Parkway owns this thread." Everything on those labels is nearly impossible to find.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, Psychic TV's Live at the Circus. I know they suck and all, but there's still something oddly special about this album (aside from Paula's contribution).

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Do they suck? I like parts of Dreams Less Sweet.... (But yes, lots of PTV is OOP or available only in weird remixed versions from their dancey days. Much of what is in print is horribly mastered.)

― Amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Amateurist, not 100%, but I think most of what they put out is very bad. There are a few scattered good bits though, some pretty unusual. I say it partly to preempt others from saying it, and partly because I resent (slightly) having spent so much money on them at one time.

As I've said before, ad nauseum, they were a lot of fun to see live back in 1988-1991, and some of their videos are pretty good.

(As long as P-Orridge is in charge, the back catalog will be mis-managed.)

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

((That was an honest question, BTW, since I have just two records (which I am decidely ambivalent about, some good things and lots of dross) and was skeptical of the rest.))

I see what I did, but not sure how to get out of it.

"email [These Records] and ask abt [The first s/t This Heat album]."

Thanks Julio, I tried that this morning and they've just replied:

"it's currently unavailable, and has been for around three years.
the previous version (packaged in a jewel case, originally released on CD 1991)
is the only edition, sometimes it turns up on e-bay, but i wouldn't advise
buying one.

a re-mastered and re-packaged version is 'almost' ready to go into production,
and hopefully could be available soon.

we will keep you informed of availablity.

thanks for the enquiry and your interest

these"

The Feelies "The Good Earth", "Time for a Witness" & "Only Life"
Neil Young "American Stars & Bars", "Time Fades Away", & "Hawks and Doves"
Game Theory "Lolita Nation" & "Big Shot Chronicles"
The Soft Boys "Can of Bees" & "Invisible Hits"
Ornette Coleman "Science Fiction"

These are some off the top of my head. There are a few mentioned that I would second as well (Pere Ubu, This Heat, The Pop Group).

― earlnash, Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

that's nice stewart.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Ornette Coleman "Science Fiction""

More good news - this one was re-released a couple of years back in an extended 2-CD format as "The Complete Science Fiction Sessions"!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 6 February 2003 16:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

all the best :zoviet*france: (esp. mohnomishe and shadow, thief of the sun), most of the first 20 Rather Interesting titles, NNCK's 'The Circle Broken' cassette, and anything else that commands upwards of $100+ on eBay.

everything released by the Vanity and Newsic/Spiral labels.

oh, and Schlammpeitziger's 'Freundlichbarracudamelodieliedgut' 2LP. 'Collected Simplesongs...' is such a poor substitute.

SHADOW, THIEF OF THE SUN !!!

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 6 February 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

brilliant, in'nit?

and aeons ahead of Storey's official Rapoon debut.

Lee Perry/Upsetters: Blackboard Jungle Dub

― Oops (Oops), Saturday, 8 February 2003 23:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Blackboard Jungle is compiled, along with Chapter One here.

― James Annett (jlannett), Sunday, 9 February 2003 00:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

The Weirdos-Action Design EP
Bobbie Gentry-Delta Sweete, Local Gentry
The Sound of Feeling On Verve. Does anyone know anything about this? Crazy vocal jazz from two sisters, late sixties?
Runaways-all three albums
Daughters of Albion
Redd Kross-Teen Babes from Monsanto
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls soundtrack
Smashing Time soundtrack
The Swinging World of Johnny Rios and Us 4
Wayne County-Things Your Mother Never Told You

Also, I know this has been mentioned before (by Billy Dods, possibly?)--the entire Ze records catalog.

― Arthur (Arthur), Sunday, 9 February 2003 03:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

All the Kitchens of Distinction albums... think they're being reissued. Anyway, they should never be out of print.

-The Smiths
-Joy Division
-My Bloody Valentine
-The Sex Pistols (easy one there)

Precious few others.

― Tim D (Tim D), Sunday, 9 February 2003 05:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

The Falling Joys "Wishlist"

Lord Custos, that just got re-mastered and re-issued here in Aus as part of a 3 album set ("Wishlist", "Psychohum" and "Aerial"). I was mega-pleased to be able to buy all three for such a low price :)

Not the original artwork or anything, though, drats.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 9 February 2003 06:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

I second the Bobbie Gentry records that Arthur mentioned. I have a copy of the briefly-in-print Rev-Ola CD of Touch 'Em with Love, and the two you mention on LPs which are getting sort of beat up.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Sunday, 9 February 2003 06:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

George Harrison - Cloud Nine

Only because I saw the CD used the other day and realized it

― Bobby D Gray (bedhead), Sunday, 9 February 2003 06:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Vanity Six debut. Alas it is and I can't get ahold of it (unless I pay *too* much money)

― nathalie (nathalie), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Toni Basil's Word of Mouth

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

For some reason Jody through my beer goggles I read that as Toni Basil's Wrath of the Math which I thought was funny enough to share.

(Good morning!)

― Amateurist (amateurist), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, her backing band is Devo...

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Peter Laughner's "Take The Guitar Player For A Ride"
Dream Syndicate's "Medicine Show" as mentioned above. (Also Opal's "Early Recordings" and the "Rainy Day" CD)
first couple Scritti Politti EPs.
Hackamore Brick's album
(for starters...)

― M Specktor (M Specktor), Sunday, 9 February 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Lee Perry/Upsetters: Blackboard Jungle Dub"

Actually this IS available, as part of a twofer with "Scratch & Company" aka "Chapter One", cunning retitled "Scratch Attack" so that no-one realises!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Sunday, 9 February 2003 18:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Screaming Blue Messiahs - Gun Shy

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 10 February 2003 13:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

four months pass...

Does anyone know what exactly happened to Infinite Zero (the label set up by Henry Rollins and Rick Rubin designed specifically for the re-release of crucial-yet-heretofore out-of-print albums)? Why did they go belly-up?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 15 June 2003 21:56 (twenty years ago) link

five months pass...

Eddie Palmieri: Lucumi, Macumba, Voodoo
Riad el-Sounbatti: [not sure of exact title, but his collected oud taksim (i.e., solo improvisations--shame on the Egyptian music business for letting the solo recordings of this master go out of print]
Ingram Marshall: The Fragility Cycles
Paul Dresher: Liquid and Stellar Music (more Frippish guitar--and some of the best in that mode--though he claims to have developed the sound independently of Fripp, and anyway, studied with avant-garde/modern classical types)

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:25 (twenty years ago) link

Probably, Jerome Cooper: The Unpredictability of Predictability, though I don't feel 100% sure I would like it now. (I only heard parts of it on the radio--long ago.)

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:31 (twenty years ago) link

Also, Stefan Weisser's "Editededitions & Contexts" or whatever the exact name is should be reissued on CD. (It's not nearly enough to fill up a CD, but I'm sure he could scrape up some other archival recordings that would be compatible.)

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

There is no good reason why these albums have not been reissued in shiny new deluxe remastered editions:

Starsailor - Tim Buckley
Lick my Decals off baby - Captain Beefheart
Like an old fashioned waltz - Sandy Denny
Rendezvous - Sandy Denny
Planxty - Planxty
Henry the Human Fly - Richard Thompson
Hokey Pokey - Richard and Linda Thompson
Pour Down like Silver - Richard and Linda Thompson

The Scientists-Sweet Corn Sessions
Any Brenton Wood albums

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:15 (twenty years ago) link

Both volumes of Devo's Hardcore.

― Unum, Sunday, 30 November 2003 01:09 (twenty years ago) link

The KLF, I guess?

― Girolamo Savonarola, Sunday, 30 November 2003 01:35 (twenty years ago) link

Joel Chadabe: Rhythms

― Rockist Scientist, Sunday, 30 November 2003 01:37 (twenty years ago) link

Ultravox, everything John Foxx era, was out of print last I checked. It's not good that people will believe "Vienna" was that band's first album!!

China Crisis was nowhere to be found on CD when I was looking early this year, I had to get the vinyl off ebay.

― sucka (sucka), Sunday, 30 November 2003 03:42 (twenty years ago) link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2575969142&category=306

Granted, there's still over a day left, but "Drive Me Wild" alone is worth at least twenty bucks.

JOhn, I scored a copy not long after I posted that. And I didn't have to pay *too much money*. Now I am longing after SPolitti.

The Move: Message To The Country
