Rolling Reissues 2019

Disappointed they didn't use the original (tapestry?) artwork for Brown Rice.

I feel like I've seen at least three different covers to Brown Rice, without ever actually hearing it.

All of these "came out" in May. in all formats, also can stream them on bandcamp:

Team Dresch
Portland, Oregon

Combining the brazenness of Riot Grrrl with the angst dirge of grunge, Team Dresch didn’t just raise the stakes of queercore: They created two near-perfect albums about longing, freedom, and belonging over guitar riffs as epic and intense as Jody Bleyle and Kaia Wilson’s poetic couplets. To paraphrase their own song, they are amazing; their words save us.

one of my favourite records, one that seems to be one of the most psychedelic records ever at a time when I'm not sure that was overly popular. Dennis Bovell's production sounds like the band is in freefall. the other 2cds are on eo fwork in progress early versions of songs from the lp and one of live tracks from various places from the time of the lp. I think the live material taht has come out over the last couple of years has been a bit later so glad to hear this is coming.

comes in several different configurat8ions this is from the 3cd version since it's the one I'll probably buy. Otherwise there are a couple of different vinyl versions.

This is a pre-order and will be dispatched in line with the release date. Orders are not part shipped so if you wish to order other items with a different release date we recommend placing a separate order.

The Vinyl and CD deluxe sets will include the debut single 'She Is Beyond Good And Evil' (also remastered).

The package will also include the 10 track album Alien Blood, and the album titled Y Live.

Alien Blood is the result of the band’s meticulous process of revisiting the original 2" tapes of their studio sessions and recordings, unearthing never-before-heard material, including the studio recording of 'Kiss The Book', gloves off version of 'We Are Time (Ricochet)', and 'Words Disobey Me (Dennis The Menace Mix)' whilst exposing the raw skeletons of iconic tracks such as the original velocity of 'Thief of Fire (Bass Addict).' Alien Blood reveals the life of Y before everything was finalized, exposing revelatory dimensions within these iconic works.

The Y Live album is an essential addendum to the original release, one that captures all the fierce urgency of The Pop Group’s live performances at the time. Comprised of Y era recordings captured at a variety of locations including New York, Manchester & Brussels – the latter on a bill with William Burroughs and Joy Division – Y Live exemplifies what had proved so thrilling about The Pop Group. A snapshot of a time when the group were sharing stages with future acolytes including Cabaret Voltaire, Linton Kwesi Johnson & Public Image Ltd, Mark Stewart describes the recordings as attempts to ‘paint the impossible’.

The Pop Group's Y regularly appears in 'Greatest Album' lists - such as Pitchfork’s Greatest Albums of the 70’s where it is listed at #35, The Wire's 100 Most Important Records Ever Made and Uncut Magazine’s 100 Greatest Debut Albums.

The Pop Group went on to release 2 further singles, We Are All Prostitutes and Where There Is A Will (Split single with the Slits) and 1 further studio album For How Much Do We Tolerate Mass Murder, before splitting up in 1981.

Mark Stewart from the band embarked on a solo career releasing his pioneering album Learning To Live With Cowardice in 1983. Gareth Sager and Bruce Smith went on to form Rip Rig & Panic alongside Neneh Cherry.

The Pop Group reformed in 2010 to tour and have since released 2 new studio albums.

The band will be touring at the end of 2019 and throughout 2020 in support of the album release."

Being released Sept. 6 on both CD and LP, the XX box set features nine UFOMAMMUT albums, all individually housed in sleeves with exclusive cover artworks, created specifically for this release. The box sets will include all eight studio albums; Godlike Snake, Snailking, Lucifer Song, Idolum, Eve, Oro, Ecate, and 8. Additionally, the box will include a new release, titled XX. This new recording sees the band performing some of their most revered tracks spanning their two decades in existence -- "Satan," "Plouton," "Lacrimosa," "Infearnatural," "Mars," and "Destroyer" -- which were re-recorded during the band's recent European tour in an intimate acoustic setting. These special box sets also include a 64-page book with original covers, photos, and lyrics to all songs with an additional poster, backpatch, and sticker.

XX sees UFOMAMMUT's Poia performing acoustic guitar and effects, Urlo handling vocals, synth, and effects, and Vita on drums and percussion, with Ciccio and Stefano Tocci handling sound production and recording. The sound was mixed by Stefano Tocci at Ampire Studio and mastered by Luca Piazza at Zen Garden Studio.

The legit Peter Laughner box, finally:
There is a lot to dive into here with five records documenting his many musical turns, an exhaustively researched 100 page book that illustrates his life with rare pictures, friends recollections and his writings and even a 7 inch single...
Think at this late date I've got most(?) of his musical putout (and Creem writing), but on scratchy vinyl, flimsy x-gen mp3s, ancient pages etc, so maybe:

This came out on Friday alongside 2cd sets of the individual lps with a live set.

I'm not 100% sure what is on the box set that isn't on the individual 2cd sets. If you pre-order from the Planet Gong website you got free posters that looked quite good. Box set has the discs slotting into places in the cover or similar so don't have the individual lp sleeves as packaging.
I'm seeing some live sets in the box that don't appear to be available separately, also not seen a release for the BBC stuff outside the box or the dvd.
& looks like the 2cds are limited editions.
