Kajagoogoo & Limahl original album series will be released on January 13, 2014. Disc 5 is Limahl's solo album "Colour All My Days" will be first time on CD, but without bonus tracks((

That album was released digitally with two extra tracks. Discriminating CD lovers? Maybe there's some law against that?

UGH. So I have to rebuy alll four of the other albums--which all have bonus tracks on their releases as single discs--just so I can finally have Colour All My Days on CD.

Are the Kajagoogoo albums the 2003 remasters ?

Has anyone bought the download yet? Much as I'd love the CD I don't want to have to buy the boxset to get it, reasonably priced though the box set is. Plus I wouldn't mind having the bonus remixes. But I'm listening to clips on iTunes and the sound quality is atrocious. Are the actual files any better?

OK, so I just got this 5 CD boxset in the mail today, and I'm happy to say this set is NOT brickwalled like many of the reissues I've purchased lately (as seen in my WAV rip of the track "Colour All My Days" below):

Overall, I'm very happy to FINALLY have a CD-quality version of his CAMD album; however, these was a missed opportunity to include a few b-sides and remixes on all of the CDs in this boxset.

Regardless of the missing bonus tracks, I'm happy with this purchase, and especially pleased with the $15 US price for 5 CDs (Amazon.UK had it on sale during the holidays).

Enjoy!

I also got this box set and listen to all discs. All 3 Kajagoogoo albums and Colour All My Day sound good and not brickwalled. However Don't Suppose really lack Mid and Bass. I had to lower the High nearly all the way and increase Bass EQ in order to make it sound as close to natural. I guess whoever transfer this to CD probably forgot to turn off the Sub-Woofer when doing the remaster [V].

I just got the box set today and the first four CDs are good but the last one is too loud. Here's the link at Dynamic Range Database for anyone that would like to see:
