808 State REISSUES

[PeteZarustica]

Am I the only one excited about the reissues?

Not only we're talking about VERY RARE BONUS TRACKS, some of which were never before seen (heard) on CD - but we're also talking about REMASTERING which would really be useful.

What are the expectations, ideas?


all the best

i am very exited about the recent '88 material reissues-are you indicating the ZTT-era? yes, it would be very nice, indeed! -deep love for 808:90-usw...which reissues are we typing about here?

i feel the power of my heart
i need to know your mind...

[nickking]

Yup, you're not the only one Pete, I would love to not only hear the albums remastered, but also the extra tracks (some previously vinyl-only).

Bring it on - now!

People may be confused as ZTT re-issues have not been announced officially yet. The only hint was in here: http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/intervi ... eyiw_1.htm

Yup, that's where I was basing my information from - fingers crossed!

funnily enough,my april fool rant at ztt has sparked off getting it done,
they just need potential track listings ,which Im working on now.
It would be good to see your ideas as I might have missed something.
(i know theres some in another section) . So the idea is each album and then a cd of extras and B sides.. Another Idea being Kicked about is a boxset of a general overview of the 808 years, to include rarities etc and tracks from each album but not just a greatest hits ( I guess as a sort of promo to the rereleases)

[markus]

Great stuff. Let's throw this open then. Submit the tracks you think should be on rarities CDs. Focus should obviously be on hard to find stuff and tracks previously only available on vinyl. Presumibly they would have to be ZTT.

Was there any extra material made during the Quadrastate sessions that never got released?

And was there any material that never made it on 90?

This (when it happens) will be the greatest 808State present for all fans. I am looking forward to it a lot man!

keep the faith!
