Another Deluxe Box in the works?

Savoring the Sunburst Finish, Futurama, and Modern Music boxes sustained my appetite for BBD nostalgia through 2019. But, well, we are knee deep in 2020 now and I hope it is not too gluttonous of me to start to hanker for another portion. Any thoughts, rumors, conjecture, or petitions to sign?

From the latest Dreamsville email newsletter: "There are whispers in the hills that the good people at Esoteric Recordings have put together a nice collection for a re-mastered Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam box set...keep your eyes peeled for more news about this over the coming weeks!"

The timing makes sense, as I finally tracked down a 2005 Quit Dreaming CD a few weeks ago. 🙄

I totally agree, there needs to be some extra stuff like 12" mixes too along with the track from the US enigma release indiscretion

Cherry red Esoteric are unlikely to release just another remastered version of the album and tracks from that period …. it’s likely a new stereo mix and 5.1 versions are what to expect …. The Red noise box set inclusions of “Disposable” “instantly yours” “ideal homes” new mixes indicate to me that the multi track tapes are available and hopefully we can expect the same treatment for the rest of the album ……. I am somewhat of an optimistic idealist though 😬😉😅

Excellent point, Steve. The Red Noise remix renders the original obsolete IMHO.

It's got the long-awaited Decca demos on it, ordered immediately!

Axe Victim available to order on Cherry Red now £49.99 + P&P, release is June. They should do LITA as it formed part of the CD set when they were first released on CD and the case spine spelt out Be Bop Deluxe as I recall.

I'm as happy as Vera solving her latest case.

Live! In the Air Age. Is at the top of my list. Just because it is a live album does not preclude the idea of an immersive audio experience for the 5.1 mix.

Received from Cherry red today

“The next album out will be Axe Victim however at the moment I am unsure what will follow, please do keep an eye out on the website for this. I can confirm that each album will be revisited in Deluxe form, including Red Noise” Kind regards, Jenny

I would think that they would want to get the material from Holyground, that was featured on Electrotype as some bonus material.

I'd love to see both Drastic Plastic & Red Noise's Sound On Sound get the box set treatment. If there's enough interesting material for an Axe Victim box that would be great as well. The 1st 3 box sets are all excellent.

I have no idea if anything is planned. But of the remaining two studio albums, Drastic Plastic is surely the more likely candidate for the box set treatment. Plenty of additional studio material - that ended up on the The Best Of And The Rest Of... - and plenty of live audio and video material.

Though a pristine tape of a show from about the time that BBD signed with EMI - if such a thing existed - would be a welcome addition to Axe Victim!

Not to mention Red Noise...
