ditto. although i think i still have the cd version of their stuff. it's great news for newbies.

..can't wait!

That's exactly what i was waiting for.....now i can have some W&L in my music collection.....

songs for walking in the snow...nice.

a kaleidoscope of colors

The UK version of Fruit already has bonus tracks (including a Waterfall remix, although that's from the first album). I can't remember the other tracks. I'm not that keen on new tracks when they're remixes and the like so probably wont buy these.

The 2 disc special edition of Eroica (can that still be found) is an absolute must though.

And I still say Girl Bros is better than anything Prince has released in 10 years.

We nolonger accept orders from NYS
does this mean because i live in NY i can't order the cds's ?

They should've put "Pickle" on Fruit at The Bottom as a bonus track!

'dre

Are these available in the UK anyone know?

I've got on cassette(!) but to have on CD would be great. Been listening to Friendly Fire of late in the car and thinking it would be good to hear tracks like Sideshow, White, Song About, The Life, Light, Always In My Dreams, Someday I & Fruit At The Bottom again.

Agree McD, Girlbros is their best release but that was years back and I'm ready for a nostalgia trip!

2 trip is 2 fall

There's a 2-CD special edition of Eroica??? WOW! I didn't know that... I want that! What's on the second disc? How could I get a copy of that?

Alliasan said:

Indeed. But I would have liked "I'm leaving the Problem" as a bonus track. Maybe they have let go the bitterness.

I've never heard the other cd's,but the first one still plays in my cd player. I will get those re-issues.

Great news! Love these two albums. "White" off the first album is a hidden gem.

The "2 disc" Eroica is in fact the CD album plus a mini disc of 4 Piano solo's from Lisa. Worth hunting out.

rockwilder said:

U should really hunt out Eroica (1991?) some classic W&L. I love PorchSwing and their masterpiece GirlBros (1998?) a bit haunting in places as its influenced by the death of Wendy's brother Johnathan but still some W&L at their best - Reaching One, I've got a big bowl of cherries...

Just wish U girls would release something new - as W&L, Girlbros, Pacifico, whatever!!!!

MattUK said:

Thanks.I was just doing some looking around and w&l have done shows with questlove and others,huh?Is any of that available on cd?I will seek these cd's out.I read a review that Eroica is a rock album.That sounds interesting.

superspaceboy said:

"Balance"...thats the title of that song.

DreZone said:

Pickle? Is that like a lesbian joke? Or is it a song?

MattUK said:

I feel your pain but they are too busy doing their scoring gigs especially doing scoring for both Crossing Jordan and Heroes and doing an album isn't one of their main priorities.

Rico said:

agreed love it!

Are these in remastered sound quality? (all it says on the site is "re-issues", so I wasn't sure if that was the same as "remastered")

I recieved my CD's by mail on the 25th. They are NOT remastered editions. The bonus tracks are the original remixes from 1987, 1988 and 1989. I had never heard the bonus track "To Trip Is To Fall" before now and I must say love it. It's verrrrry Princy. The sound quality is very good but not much different from the original Columbia releases, which I've had on CD for years. I bought the re-issues mainly for the bonus tracks. If you buy them directly from Wounded Bird Records they're only $10.98 each! You can't beat that.

It's a Prince out-take which uses the same break from "Are U My Baby"
