Scott, as one of those people on Facebook - and in email - who pestered you, thank you for doing this. Simply cannot wait!

I personally can't wait for this release,
despite all of the criticism from the self-appointed NWO Elder-statesmen.

But I also admit that the endless, for lack of another term, nagging about this album was maddening. I couldn't make a single post on Facebook for the last two years without someone asking "What about Beat Boy?" So I'll be happy to never hear that question again!


The new pestering will be about the additional Oingo Boingo albums (yes, I saw your email about not planning to continue the series). I'll put my pitch in for the 'Boingo' album (1987) which has several remixes that have only been released on vinyl. :)

Never saw this before, but it's a recent Polydor promo from 2021:

https://www.discogs.com/release/2139639 ... d-Expanded

This one is a 4CD Polydor collection:

https://www.discogs.com/release/2134023 ... -1980-1982

I wonder if and how many vinyl recources were used...

Strange that it contains the 4 minute "unreleased" edit of Yesterday's Shadow.

There's a fan made 4:21 min single edit on Youtube.

None of that is official, and I guarantee all mastered from vinyl or cassette.

Not strange, I saw a master listed as 7" A for Yesterday's Shadow and requested to included it without knowing what to expect.

My hope is to at least open pre-orders in February at this point. Universal didn't get back to me regarding my artwork before they started their end-of-year two week holiday break, so no chance for approval until early January now, which means the actual release date will probably move to March.

Sorry I was unclear, I meant strange that the illegal 2-CD included it!
(PS Rubellan did you get my email about the fan-club CD of Torch Song?)

I do recall seeing it, though not sure which email account. I'll have to look. If my CD comes through the plan is to have the U.S. edition so I'm not sure if the fan club CD is the UK edition or not.

Judging by the durations it's the US Mix.

There's clearly one totally obsessive fan out there who keeps adding his (and I bet it's a man) own one-offs and lists them as promos. Like a clear vinyl 10" "promo" (sic) of Casualty.

These are probably lathe cut one-offs he commissioned or made himself.
