So has anyone heard those Under Cover or Garage Sale comps yet? As noted above, they sound compelling...

But not too much. Because there is no such thing. The very idea is utterly laughable.

'dream baby dream'. in hindsight i'm kind of glad it didn't come out as the original is so perfect that it should be left well alone.

back when i worked at the village voice, i would walk down the bowery from the subway station on my way to work each day, and always pass by this tiny smudged black-and-white photo of her, partly obscured by stickers and scraps of old flyers, that somebody had pasted along the bottom of a post office drop-off box. about a month ago i tried to find it; i don't think it's there anymore.

slobber-worthy (both the ZE30 and the list in that article) but unlikely to win any new fans

Rhapsody's always had it I think. (Just saying -- I'm biased, since I write for them.)
Wrote this too; guess I never linked to it here:

Ze is pretty well served by Spotify as the re-edits comp is up there too
― piscesx, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 13:35 (ten years ago) link
well, have to say, i'm quite tempted to pick up the mutant disco comps now.
that edits comp totally hit the spot.
used to have early was not was on vinyl, and forgot how good they used to be before they hit the pop charts proper.
― mark e, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 13:38 (ten years ago) link
how many mutant disco comps are there? I have a double cd, which I think is the first one?
― mmmm, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 13:49 (ten years ago) link
seems that the original 2003 reissue of mutant disco was 2 cds which incorporated volume 1 and 2 (out the total of 4)
whereas the new editions have separated the releases.
― mark e, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 13:57 (ten years ago) link
sorry, 'new' = 2011 editions.
Ahh, okay, thanks. That makes sense as to what I can see for sale on Amazon. The later ones being remix/re-edits.

disco version of Arthur Brown's "Fire," punk-funky take on Mission Impossible, rewrite of "Fever" and more. I kinda like Press Color

Are the ZE reissues from ten years back out of print now?
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 00:08 (eight years ago) link
Sadly, yes. You can still get Mutant Disco Vols 1-4 (the 2011 reissues) though.
