Losing My Mind was on Alternative, wasn't it?

That’s the thing about negative energy, about hatred. It can be positive. It throws into relief all the things you know you like. It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration; it makes you think, “What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.” Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd. - Neil Tennant

Yeah I meant the earlier mix they put on FL 88-89

The 7" is on Alternative; the 12" is on Further Listening - but it's the same recording.
Woof.

My guess:

All reissues only 1 album... except "Nightlife". It will have 25 bonus discs, mainly filled with the several hundred demo versions of "For All of Us".

Can't wait ;)

It would be cool if Relentless were to be given a proper release through this. I know it won't happen, but that would justify whatever else is being released, in my book.

As I said before, but not as clearly, Neil and Chris suck big time at treating their back catalogue.
The first 6 albums should of course be released as box-sets with at least 3 CDs + 1 DVD.

The new reissues could be a 3-disc set as far as I am concerned but there should also be reissues of Relentless and Closer to heaven album

Surely the clue is in the title…..

Greetings,

We have been waiting for these from as long ago as the Nightlife reissue was promised in 2004, and it's been over two years since the Pet Text saying they were looking through old tracks. There's been years of expectation and guesswork as to what the tracks will be and we are about to find out.

Enjoy the last few days of mystery...they will never return!
I do wonder if the tracklisting will mirror some of the tag info from MP3s extracted from the old PSB website.... 8)

I'm braced for disappointment.
I sincerely *love* Disco 2 and listen to it straight through regularly.

I can't understand why they haven't re-released Relentless as a single disc vinyl LP yet - would look great in a Lego embossed pink sleeve. And Very in a matching orange sleeve?

Why is everybody getting se excited about the reissues? Nowadays, pretty much all their tracks and remixes are available online. It was different in 2001. I'm not gonna pay just for one or two unreleased tracks.

Exactly. Unless there are new tracks, or previously-unreleased-on-CD tracks, WTF cares?

What from that era was vinyl-only?

Potential unreleased tracks. What more do you need?
