Suggestions for future Legacy reissues?

I'd like to see The Rainbow Childern reissued as part of the fourth batch, can't decide on the other albums (although Crystal Ball needs one).

If they didn't issue The Gold Experience as part of the third batch, maybe they're saving it for a Super Deluxe Edition (although I have doubts about this, specifally if TMBGITW and its remixes are included but not downloadable digitally).

In reality, the majority of these Legacy issues are money grabs, IMO. It's a schtick that everyone seems to be willing to let Legacy cash in with. And while it's possibly interesting to have Versace or Emancipation on vinyl, to have most of this stuff on purple vinyl for the sake of it in pointless.

I'd much rather spend my money on the stuff coming that is remastered and expanded. I have Rave on vinyl. But I don't have 1999 with 60+ tracks, and a DVD. That's worth my money for a CD set.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Believe it or not...some new fans need these without going broke. Is there really such thing as a cash grab? If you have it don’t buy it for new packaging. 😘

Why be so selective?

Why be so restrained?

I want all of it.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

The pricing of the reissues certainly says "cash grab" to me. In Tower Records here in Dublin, they're priced at €40. €15 above the price of the average new release on vinyl. Even The awful Versace Experience is €40.

I’m waiting for TGE, Come and the Black Album, but it looks like none of those will be out anytime soon, if I’ve understood the Sony contract and other circumstances right.

So yeah, I’m otherwise kinda indifferent about what comes next. I’ve got pretty much everything else on vinyl that I’d *really* want to have.

reissuing the Gold Experience is particularly fraught with that Italian copyright case, I dont think anyone would be game to touch it until that has run its course and it could easily take years.

I'm hoping for The Rainbow Children and The Vault Old Friends 4 Sale soon on vinyl.

I for one would be very interested in The Vault Old Friends For Sale. Much Underappreciated and also, is anyone else as bugged about the glitch in the snare drum fill at the start of '5 Women' on the CD version? Long overdue a fix!

From the same era, the Chocolate Invasion set (recreated as it never got released but all the content is accessible), One Nite Alone and N.E.W.S. should be reissued.

I've not bought any of the Legacy albums yet as I still own all the original CDs (aside from TVE which was a dreadful release IMO).

.
However I'd love to buy official CDs of Chocolate Invasion, Slaughterhouse and Xpectation. I love the 'High' era stuff. I think these were the best tracks he recorded after leaving Warner. Xpectation is beautiful to. It's my go to chill out album.

.
Also, not being a member of NPGMC, I never got a chance to buy the One Nite Alone piano CD.

.
I've bought all of the above from the Tidal store which I'm extremely grateful for but CD copies for my collection would be lovely additions.
