A couple of new Visage releases from the archives


A couple of new Visage releases from the archives

A couple of new Visage releases from the archives;

The 'Live 2013' CD captures the best moments from the thirteen date 2013 tour. The physical CD version includes banter and chat from lead man Steve Strange and the crowd, whilst the digital release focuses purely on the music with no interuptions.

'The Prague Sessions' A CD featuring the high-energy versions of Visage hits featured in the one-off 2014 Prague Orchestral show. If you ever wondered what Visage may sound like with a Pet Shop Boys spin, then give this a listen.

'Live 2013' will be available in all stores from November 2024. 'The Prague Sessions' will ONLY be available direct from us. For a limted time you can buy both with 5 postcards and a 2 track download.

Nice to see a couple of new releases...

my only concern is the audio source for these live recordings. the anvil that was included on the never enough cd single was sourced from a lossy source with traits af a 160 kbps mp3 file.

guessing as these recordings are seeing the light for the first time on a physical release this won't deter any die hard visage fans from purchasing them no matter the quality of the audio.

i hope i am proved wrong about the quality but the one official released track on cd doesn't fill me with hope.

I don't think so. Many (actually, most) of their recordings since 2013 have a frequency cut at approximately 16kHz. It's just the way they were recorded/mastered.

i managed to purchase when it was in stock, but apart from the confirmation emails from nexafy store i have not had anything else so no idea when to expect it.

saw somewhere that it could be next week but not sure.

... looks like it is quite limited to 300 copies!

arrived this morning, recorded delivery.

got the 2 discs, postcards and the download code for 3 downloadable tracks (320kbps mp3s files... no option for a lossless download)

downoads tracks are

SSC016_01_-_Visage_-_Fade_To_Grey_(Prague_Session_Single_Version)
SSC016_02_-_Visage_-_Fade_To_Grey_(Prague_Session_Single_Instrumental)
SSC016_03_-_Visage_-_Fade_To_Grey_(Prague_Session_Single_Edit)

Disc 2 - The Prague Sessions CD, apart from the fade to grey tracks, seem to be sourced from low quality lossy audio

Both CD's are now back in stock online...

another downner... originally it was stated only 300 copies of the prague sessions would be produced... that has now been removed from the site so i am geussing they are going to make a load more now meaning the rarity value will decrease
