August 8th 2008 IDEALCOPY.COM EList NEWSLETTER (If this newsletter is not showing up properly, click on the date above) We're getting unfortunate news about the reissue of Ministry's With Sympathy (US CD). It looks like the label releasing it is undergoing changes and are unsure if they will continue puting out audio CDs. So, that title will not be coming out next week as expected. Hopefully it's just delayed, but for now we will be cancelling/refunding Pre-Orders for that title.

NEW REISSUES Blancmange - 3 Digitally Remastered Reissues (September 2nd) Long overdue reissuing of the 80s band's entire catalogue: Mange Tout (INTL 2CD), Happy Families (INTL CD), and Believe You Me (INTL CD). All contain a nice selection of remixes and B-Sides - we're looking forward particularly to the megamix, Mixing on the Ceiling. Dead Can Dance - Dead Can Dance (2LP) (LP) (September 9th) Hot on the heels of having their entire catalogue remastered comes these vinyl reissues of their debut album. The second disc on the 2LP is the EP, Garden of Arcane Delights, on clear vinyl. Only 2-3 sets remain of the aforementioned (and sold out) 9 Digitally Remastered Hybrid SACDs - playable on regular CD and SACD machines. Big Country - Peace In Our Time (INTL DVD) (August 12th) Originally released on VHS in 1988, this live performance from the Scottish quartet has never been available on DVD until now. The memorable concert was shot in Moscow in October 1988 when touring Russia was not only a great adventure, but broke new ground. Songs include Wonderland, Chance, and, of course, In A Big Country. The Style Council - Far East & Far Out (INTL DVD) (August 12th) First time on DVD for this extremely rare and very collectable show from Paul Weller's Soul/Pop outfit, recorded live in Japan 1984. Filmed during their tour to support their debut album, Far East & Far Out features the band ignoring Weller's Jam material and concentrating on their own EPs, singles and album. Gary Numan - Berserker (INTL DVD) (Available Now!) Synth pioneer Gary Numan continued to push boundaries of even after leaving his original label, Beggars Banquet. He set up his own label, Numa Records, and stunned his audience with a harder sound and new image (blue hair, white face paint). The music was a huge step forward and it took the industry another few years before they caught up. This 1984 show features classics (We Are Glass, Music For Chameleons) as well as more recent cuts like My Dying Machine and the title track. Bauhaus - Burning From The Inside (US LP) (August 19th) The band's 4th album, along with their third, The Sky's Gone Out (US LP) are going to be newly reissued on 180g vinyl to go along with their recently reissued debut, In The Flat Field (LTD 2LP & INTL LP).
