I've just 'Satellite Life' by Billy MacKenzie through the post, the 3cd release on Cherry Red of the former Associates recordings from 1994-96. So far, it is great. I was surprised to spot someone I know played guitar on a few tracks, something he's never let on to me about.
😎

I've been very tempted to get the "Sulk" reissue.
I'm waiting for Satellite Life to arrive. Laxwife is a fan. I think there are some great tracks on those solo CDs. I think his version of Wild is the wind is incredible. What a voice.

Marky, you are tempting me too now!

Just Mustard, Wednesday. Thanks to Kory's recent Packet of Threes offering, I've hunted down the album and it is fucking fantastic. Sorta shoegaze, sorta noise, sorta dark post-punk (if you told me it was from 1981, I might bite). I'm going to be listening to this a lot over the next few weeks.

This might be better than the studio record. These guys are immediately on my favourite new bands list. So, so fucking good.

I have that on pre-order with an extra cd ep of 'Party Fears Two.' The release date has been put back a couple of months now, so sometime in July.

I bought the two disc cd. Sounds really good. I was looking at that 3cd 40th anniversary set but noticed the main album and the majority of disc 2 are all the 2016 mixes. So the only other tracks I would've wanted was the Peel sessions.

I'm glad I added them in. I was really back and forth on my third choice.

I'm borderline annoyed that you didn't tell me about them directly. If you hear another band that sounds like them, yeah, that shit is for me.

I heard them for the first time just last week. If I hadn't added them in to the Po3, I'd have put them up here for you after a couple more listens.

Well, alright then. They've got a new album coming out in May, so I'll be all over that.

It feels like a minor victory that YouTube rarely recommends anything in the ballpark for me. Yeah, YouTube, I'll be all over the Black Eyed Peas. :rolleyes:

The Peel sessions can already be found. The 1994 release 'The Radio 1 Sessions' has some tracks, but I'm pretty sure everything they did for the Peel show is on 2003's 'The Radio One Sessions Vol.1 (1981-1983)' while 'Vol.2 (1984-1985)' from the same year doesn't have any Peel sessions, as they (Billy?) weren't (wasn't?) in the studio for him.

Oh sure I'm aware of those tracks being available. I simply meant between the editions of "Sulk". The 40th anniversary has a few extra tracks than the 2016 edition but not much that I'm that interested in. Like the live tracks that always seem to fill these things out.
