Wonder if there will be any extra tracks (there were, after all, a few B-sides on the single releases). Shame no CD, and probably the reason I won't be getting this. If there are some unreleased bonus tracks, I might buy digitally (if that is an option).

Really welcome news. A fantastic album and every bit the equal of Electronic's debut, which tends to hog all the side project glory from muso journos perspectives. A bit of Googling reveals it is coming out on Music On Vinyl on 14 June: https://www.musiconvinyl.com/pro...n?variant=49006285586707 2,000 copies orange vinyl, 180g, gatefold... MOV have a habit of releasing a standard black edition after the limited run is sold, so that could also happen here (no idea, for now). 6 bonus tracks included: - Bicycle Thief - Ultra - Comin' Around Again - Shattered - Sweet Lips (Farley & Heller’s Ambient Mix) - Sweet Lips (Joey Negro aka Dave Lee Main Slice) So, the B-sides of the era, plus 2 remixes. For once I'm not bothered about a CD because the original '97 pressing is pretty much the definitive mastering and doesn't need messing with. Ditto for the CD singles. A real "pleasure" to hit the "place order" button on this one

Well, it wasn't on the original double LP and didn't make it onto vinyl at all from what I recall. Not hugely surprising. At time of writing, Spotify, Apple Music, Qobuz etc. are basically offering the US configuration of the album which includes Under The Stars as track 10. So it is available to buy/stream right now. It's a good track but it's resemblance to a certain talk show theme tune meant it wasn't a huge surprise it didn't receive a general UK release. Even as a B-side. The shredded guitar outro is pretty memorable, as is Hooky's nod to Way of Life. An expanded digital reissue of the album would be nice - as manufacturing CDs undoubtedly costs - I had many a CD2 tracklist in my head from back in the day. B-sides, demos, live tracks... even the Bee Gees cover. For now, this looks like a pretty decent reissue to enjoy.

MOV have a habit of releasing a standard black edition after the limited run is sold, so that could also happen here (no idea, for now). Confusingly Hooky's social media posts say 1000 copies. I'm guessing it's a typo by him/Jack/someone... Originally Posted by: NotAMod 6 bonus tracks included: - Bicycle Thief - Ultra - Comin' Around Again - Shattered - Sweet Lips (Farley & Heller’s Ambient Mix) - Sweet Lips (Joey Negro aka Dave Lee Main Slice) Going for Heller & Farley's ambient mix (basically an instrumental) rather than the vocal mix is a bit of a susprise but...ok. Dave Lee decided to stop using the Joey Negro alias recently-ish, in the same way (sort of) that The Black Madonna changed her name to The Blessed Madonna. So now it's a bit confusing how to refer to old stuff that he did.

That said, this has prompted me to re-buy the long lost WDYWFM single, so I can re-add Ultra to my library. Great tune.

Some new Monaco (digital) reissues have recently appeared on Qobuz (and Spotify), likely to coincide with the new vinyl pressing: - What Do Want From Me? - Shine (Someone Who Needs Me) - I've Got A Feeling Good to see IGAF reissued as the original CD single was famously a pain in the arse and costly to find. Interesting to see the copyright revert to Polydor (was Chrysalis/Papillon). Sweet Lips isn't up yet but may well appear soon, who knows? Some good stuff on these singles, particularly Wdywfm? which I'm sure many NO fans caned back in early '97. EDIT 15/06, Sweet Lips has appeared: - Sweet Lips CD1 - Sweet Lips CD2 Edited by user 15 June 2024 01:17:12(UTC) \| Reason: Sweet Lips added.

I have the See-Saw 12" but never managed to get any decent rip. If anyone is feeling generous, I'm interested See-Saw and its accompanying remixes were very much "of their time" and to be honest, not great. Sure, be good to see them reissued for completion's sake but not much else. The Bee Gees cover was fun, and still sounds pretty good. The Buzz Gum mix was also creative enough and I vaguely remember the charity comp it came out on. Been a while since I listened to either. Fun Fact: Buzz Gum was briefly considered as a 4th single from MFP but not used. A unique "radio edit" even made it out on some Canadian PolyGram sampler CDs back in the day...
