Tonight You Are The Special One: Expanded Edition

brilliant news !
will be nice to have clean versions of the b-sides.
larky for example is bloody fantastic.

ahh .. I see the debut is getting the deluxe 2cd treatment as well !

I was hoping they'd bring these out on vinyl too. I don't think Tonight You Are The Special One ever got a vinyl release and I'd love to get it.

Check the Cherry Red site, I think it is coming out on vinyl... or has already.

YES! It's coming out on November 13th. I am absolutely chuffed. I managed to pick up the Your Majesty vinyl cheap a few years ago. This has made my day.

What a band!

Just listening to these albums as I'm reviewing them this week. Trying to get my head around what I can say about this perfect band.

as soon as these were announced i ordered both expanded editions, and the special ltd edition box, i.e. CLOSED, to put them in.

according to a FB post, the first 47 orders of said package gets an extra treat.

given that i ordered the whole lot within minutes of the announcement i am hoping to be part of the 47.

I'm going with the vinyl. I couldn't justify getting the CDs as well right now. I'm sure I will regret that when I see what the extra treat is.

i know what the treat is .. well kind of : an extra 7"
don't know whats on it though.

Where are you ordering these?

Haven't ordered my vinyl yet. Will probably order from here. Seems to be the only place you can get the Closed box set.

yup .. thats where i got it from ..

fuck.

not a member of the 47.

time to listen to LODGER loud.

a good write up re the boxset :

My reviews finally went up today. You can definitely tell they written by an Earl Brutus fanboy but I just couldn't hold back.

someone shat in the promoter’s pocket

bravo to all re the excellent articles.

spent all saturday reading the sleevenotes and listening to the extra songs.

the david arnold remix is just glorious.

time to reprint some of the t-shirts ?

despite the fact it was written by someone who has history with the band, i loved reading that article.

i realise i am biased, but, the tracks on the extra cds are absolutely fantastic.

Are you biased?

yes.

look at the studio pic earlier in this thread (unless i have missed some subtle point !)

Anybody else having issues playing the first CD of the Your Majesty reissue? Wondering if it's down to that faux spray-paint finish. I feel like I should complain, but then again, seems to be in the spirit of Earl Brutus (i.e. a prank, like the Durutti Column sandpaper sleeve.) Caveat emptor!

sorry henry, but mine played ok.
i'd contact 3loop directly http://www.3loopmusic.com/contact-us/
would like to think they will help you out.

playing the extra discs now as the digital lookup process worked for each extra disc.

bloody hell, this was a band for which even the throwaway b-sides were worthy.

I was just playing my vinyl of Tonight You Are The Special One earlier today. Pretty good band aren't they? It comes with a download code that I'm yet to use, wonder if it has all the bonus material as well?

i hope so, as the extra stuff is fantastic.
get it fixed up KP !

the 1998 hagiographies are pukescent but even worse is the absence of Tonight You Are The Special One from literally all of them

I think this is one of the best one of these I've ever read. I'd expect nothing less from Jim though.

‘Put Your Love In Me’, which is one of their best songs, is more like an album track than something you’d expect to hear on a greatest hits. You don’t hear that one on the radio but it’s one of their best singles.

It's one of the best singles by anyone ever, glad to see it mentioned. Great list throughout.

yeah, this was a cracking read.
as tom says, to be expected from jim.
