I don't know if this is worth it for this. I just got the Feel The Fire collection that has this album included.

That was another pointless BBR release IMO as the two disc Fell The Fire set is great and has the same tracks except for the single edits...

if they started this before UNIVERSAL/HIP O decided to do theirs why stop? Most releases are not seen stateside anyway. I still havent seen that Stephaine Mills or Debarge sets in any Best Buy ive been to.

I haven't seen many Hip-O Select cds in any store (unless it's an independent record store). The major chains aren't going to carry that type of stuff anymore (unless you order it). Hip-O Select is considered to be a "specialty" line for Universal. They specialize in selling their stuff online and in independent stores. I've ordered several of their box sets and albums. I love all of them that I've gotten. Their mastering is great and the packaging is wonderful.

Stephanie's "Whatcha Gonna Do" was released a few years ago overseas and were available in limited numbers. Her 20th Century albums weren't available stateside until the Feel The Fire set came out last year.

I don't know if this is worth it for this. I just got the Feel The Fire collection that has this album included.

Yep. I'm skipping this one since I also purchased the Feel the Fire collection. I'm just patiently waiting for "Tantalizingly Hot" and "Merciless" to be reissued.

BBR has also announced a reissue of Stephanie's much sought after 70's Motown album "For the First Time" for later this year.

A deluxe edition of KISS’ classic 1976 effort Destroyer. (it’s expected to be presented over two discs like Universal’s other Deluxe Edition titles), it is slated for release on April 17, and will feature Ken Kelly’s original rejected artwork for the album. (Casablanca Records objected to what is now considered a tame depiction of the band standing triumphant over the flaming wreckage of a city, upon which Kelly submitted the version we all know and love today.)

Man, that's indeed a big miss. That remix is a mutha! Burned it on some previous mixtapes, along with the extended version of "I Simply Like" with that mean bass.

But i can see the possible reason why the "Tie Me Up" remix was left out, although very unfortunate.

is there a cd version of the 'tie me up' remix i wonder? ive only got a vinyl rip?

so far i've checked, not yet

I'm gonna have to make a list of all the CDs I need to buy This is incredible!

I hope they eventually remaster 'Tantalizingly Hot'...one of Stephanie's strongest albums,imo.

Initially I was pretty excited about this until I realised there's not really much in the way of extras to include. It will probably just be the original album on the first disc and some remixes/alternate takes on the second. I bet it won't even be two discs worth of material. Hopefully the first disc will feature the "outtakes" and the second will be a lengthy live show.

According to their facebook page, funkytowngrooves will also release the long-awaited "Burn", "Portrait Of Melba" and "Peach Melba" reissues from Melba Moore.

Which one of these albums include her 1976 hit "This Is It"? That's the one I want.

"This Is It" is from the album of the same name, Dave and "Burn" from 1979 is Da BOMB! They amped her up with some tight-ass, funky shit on THAT one!

Gonna have to get this one. Didn't know there was an extended version of "Love Me Right", which is like my favorite song on the album!

Yep! Like 4 or 5 times already. This reissue is highly unnecessary. But, I believe BBR is committed to reissuing her entire Sony catalog, even if it does mean flooding the market with duplicates of what's already out there.

^^I have a remaster of that album.....the one that was done by Columbia/Legacy in 2006

There are only like 6 or 7 songs on that album. I wonder if there are some unreleased songs from those sessions that are just sitting in the vaults that are not able to be licensed for release?
