The question you should be asking yourself is: why?

The albums being remastered are :

Deep Sea Skiving
Bananarama
True Confessions
WOW!
Pop Life

I am looking forward to Pop life, as it is their most creative of their career to date. Stuff like "Long Train Running", "Only Your Love", "Preacher Man" and "Tripping On Your Love" were fantastic singles off that album. Bliss.

Only albums not being remastered are Please Yourself, Ultra Violet and the dreadful Exotica....

Actually "Please Yourself" was a rather brilliant album, IMO.

had its moments, but too many fillers. Movin' On, Last thing on my mind and Is she good to you were the standout tracks...

have you heard the "Exotica" album ? Stay away if you haven't. Probably 2 good tracks, and 2 good remixes. Beware.

Apparently thay have worked with the guy that produced stuff off Dannii Minogues "Neon Nights" for their new album. Hmmmmmm. We shall see.

Me too Some nice B-sides there too like Mr. Sleaze, Amnesia and Extacy (Wild style). Best Remix would be Love in the first degree - Eurostyle or I heard a rumour - House mix.

also love the b-side to "I Heard A Rumour" - "Clean Cut Boy". Very sassy indeed...My fave would be "Ecstasy" though....fantastic

has anyone heard the Baleracidic remixes of "Love, Truth & Honesty" ? They are fabulous and give the track a real hi-nrg punch. Makes the fluffy track sound very dark and moody. Excellent

Yes, I love that remix. But I also love the original - my favourite Bananarama track actually:

1. Love, Truth & Honesty
2. I Heard A Rumour
3. Only Your Love
4. Cruel Summer
5. Movin' On

oooh, excellent choice Blue Swan (as always

) The original 12" of Love, Truth & Honesty is classic SAW...always brings back fond memories when I hear that track. Sigh.

anyways, my top5 :

1.I Can't Help It
2.More Tham Physical
3.I Heard A Rumour
4.Movin' On
5.Preacher Man
