Thanks for the heads, but will give it a miss.....

shame really as they could of made it a better issue instead of tacking a single edit on the end, where's the dub version, 12" version, and other singles.....wasted opp there..........

I can't BELIEVE there are no good bonus tracks.

This is a new reissue label called Mirco Werks.. I am not sure if they are affiliated with Collector's Choice but they have a link for them for their product

They released an excellent WAS Not Was collection recently. With alot of mixes/rarities:

Hope I can mention that, seems like people are touchy when you don't talk about "new wave" artists here.

Yes, it's a shame there is nothing but the single edit on this CD, but the label looks very promising.

How excitement can turn into dissapointment in just a matter of seconds, oh well...

I was really hoping for bonus tracks, something other than the single edit of "Money" there are a few select B-sides that would make this self titled-reissue complete.

Absolutely this can be mentioned here. The deal is that in the USA New Wave was narrowly defined while in the UK, it started with Post-Punk, then split off into New Pop - collectively this was known as the New Wave. A good read is Simon Reynolds "Rip It Up and Start Again" which covers the years 1978-1984.

In the US, the New Wave movement faded out completely around 1986/1987, after the MTV boom. By that time, many moved to College Rock (in the US) and Indie Pop/Rock (UK). General progression - Proto-Punk/Punk/Post-Punk/New Pop/College Rock/Indie/Grunge/Brit Pop/Alternative to now. And of course, Kraftwerk is there for the ride. And there are other sub-genres (Oi!, Hardcore, etc) thrown in for good measure.

Flying Lizards were pure Post-Punk - the rest of the album sounds nothing like Money and is rooted more in the Glaxo Babies/Pop Group type of groups - The Slits, Pop Group, Rip Rig + Panic, New Age Steppers, Maximum Joy, A Certain Ratio, Glaxo Babies, Pigbag, 23 Skidoo - all have a similar sound and influenced one another as well as shared band members in some cases.

what's really overdue is Top Ten reissued with bonus tracks [8D]

With great news I carry, there will be a handful of bonus tracks on the Flying Lizards re-issue for their "Self Titled" album. I did some further research and with a little luck cduniverse.com has posted a full track listing. Check it out!

just checked out the LP, bonus as in All guitars, tube, and Money single edit......mmmmmmmmmm don't think so as this came out years ago....sorry but not what I want..........

As far as I know it's been OOP for a long time now, and not to mention I believe it was an Japanese import.
