Only 4 so far? I thought they were going to release them all.

Anyone know? Is it because the new (apparently double) album is taking up Roberts time?

AlexdeParis said:

Right right. Are there any more scheduled?

superspaceboy said:

No one knows exactly when they're coming, but we should realistically expect 4 more some time later this year. I'm really looking forward to Disintegration and Wish. I still have hope they'll go back and do Japanese Dreams.

Robert has been busy with the new album, which is why I think there has been a pause. He has been very involved in each of the reissues, so I feel that his focus has been averted to other things for the time being. But I'm sure we will get some in the next year or two.

AlexdeParis said:

I'm not sure about the re-issues now. Robert was handling those and with new album and tour, there may not be a lot of time for them. Also they would interfere with the new album sales, I think (like Princes 3121/Ultimate).

I too would like to see Japanese Whispers, but folks here have said that most of that material was released with the B-Sides...which I disagree with.

JW has...

1. Let's Go To Bed
2. The Dream
3. Just One Kiss
4. The Upstairs Room
5. The Walk
6. Speak My Language
7. Lament
8. The Lovecats

and JTD has

9. Lament (Flexipop Version)
10. Just One Kiss
11. The Dream
12. The Upstairs Room
13. Lament
14. Speak My Language

So really...minus the singles. So do they reissue it or not? Perhaps they feel that the last GH package took care of these.

I'd like to see a reissue of Mixed up.

superspaceboy said:

I refuse to believe they'd stop the reissues right before Disintegration. That would be utterly ridiculous.


I hate to sound ungrateful, but they could've avoided all this by including the 3 singles from Japanese Whispers on Join the Dots. Technically, they could qualify as "rarities."

For me, they missed one important rarity, which was the 12 of Japanese Dream. But hey, we got 5 versions of Hello I love you.

Here here!

your sig!

superspaceboy said:

Weren't the three singles already remastered for Greatest Hits?

The back story is even better.

sextonseven said:

That was my guess 2 sentences up. It is a shame that they don't live within the re-issues.

sextonseven said:

Yeah, but I don't want to buy it just for that. I *ahem* acquired the acoustic bonus songs and the new ones, but I was kind of hoping I'd have a remastered CD of Japanese Whispers to go with the other ones.

superspaceboy said:

Funny how I neglected to read the most important sentence in your entire post.

Seriously, if it takes time away from Robert remastering the other albums then I don't mind doing without. I have it all already anyway. And what would be on the extra disc?

Tolhurst singing the album while drunk.
