Roman Holliday - "Cookin' On The Roof" (2013 Reissue/Remaster) released via Cherry Pop on 22 July 2013.

Track list:

01 Don't Try To Stop It
02 Motor Mania
03 I.O.U.
04 Jive Dive
05 Midnight Bus
06 Cookin' On The Roof
07 Stand By
08 No Ball Games
09 Furs 'N' High Heels
10 Serious Situation
11 One More Jilt
12 Don't Try To Stop It [A Cappella]
13 Round And Round
14 Motor Mania [A Cappella]
15 Beat My Time
16 Don't Try To Stop It [Extended Club Mix]
17 Motor Mania [Extended Club Mix]

So, what is missing? B-side tracks: "Don't Try To Stop It [Dub]", "Stand By [Live]", "One More Jilt [Live]". Also, I noticed that "Cookin' On The Roof [Extended Version]" is listed as a b-side of the 12" of "Motor Mania" at 4:35. Isn't this just the "LP Version"? Furthermore, a shorter version of "Cookin' On The Roof" at 2:51 is listed on the 7" b-side of "Motor Mania". Does anyone have any information about this?

Is anything else missing? I recall stumbling across a longer, different, slower mix of "Stand By" a few years back on YouTube. I think that it was listed as a 12" version and sounded like it was transferred from vinyl. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or, am I confused with something else?

I'm glad that I didn't give in and buy the 2004 Japanese CD reissue of the album in the past few years. I've been tempted a number of times. I will definitely be adding this one to my collection. "Stand By" is one of my favorite singles of the '80s.

I'll have to order mine as well,although first i want to see what the sound quality is like. I wish the second RH album would be reissued too.

At least it's coming out digitally 7/3.

Indeed. I may just wait to see who gets mastering credits before I actually give in and buy it. Cherry Pop can be hit and miss when it comes to sound quality. The Breathe reissue was very well done, but the Naked Eyes reissue was too harsh and bloated for my taste.

Good price though given amazon latest high prices

Got this in and loved it. Only complaint is the artwork looks like a copy of the original artwork, color is very dark.

Got my copy today . Loved it. Great sound . One of Cherry Red's better ones . I'm hoping for a reissue of Fire Me Up. I know it's gonna be out on Amazon's mp3 list soon , but I'm all for a physical cd with added material !
