Swing Out Sister - It's Better to Travel Remaster

[ApolloZero]

2 releases From CDJapan and Swing out Sister Message board on 2/24/10, both cds are $28.93. I am only interested in It's Better To Travel. I lost this cd in hurricane Katrina and the bonus tracks make it look worthwhile. The message board points out if "Fever" would have been included it would have had compiled all the b-sides. The band says they were not involved with the releases.

Japanese cds are always too expensive. I love SOS and will wait for the band approved remasters (if they happen). Although I love the first two albums it's their material from 2001 onwards that I really cherish.

Yes, i agree that they are expensive, but CDJapan will give you the best price. If you go to Amazon, this cd is $52! I guess purchasing it depends on how much you want the release or like the band, doesn't it?
I see what you are saying but as far as waiting for artists to be involved in remastering, that doesnt always happen. Also you never know what kind of "remastering" you are gonna get for that matter! LOL

Thanks for the post. I might have to grab this if there are new mixes available. Communion is one of my favorite songs from the 80s.

Me Too . I also loved After Hours.
