haaaaate the resellers marking up the already pricey RSD stock - there are still plenty of UK retailers with this, take a peek

agree with the positive reviews so far. i remember following along with the US maxi-singles back in the day, but to be honest a lot of the ones included here didn't register much at the time. picked out, compiled and edited to a more uniform length,... See full review

Truly, and I might add that ~$30 retail is quite steep for a 12" EP... even in 2023

I get the frustration but... welcome to being a Bjork fan. Literally since... the 1990s? she's produced objectively too many different versions, re-issues, re-packages etc, and as time goes on and she gets less mainstream (ie less sales from normal... See full review

Delightful to have this on vinyl at last… a longtime wishlist item. Sits well alongside their other b-side albums, and looks *gorgeous*

Worth exchanging if yours didn't pass the quality control test. Mine sounds pristine, bought from Rough trade in the US. Nice (if inessential) colors too!

Haven't been able to but Juno isn't bad - in stock now for about $37 to the US (probably a better price than you'll see once/if it hits the US anyway).

Readily available at Juno for $26 (plus $11 to the US). Fuck the sharks, this hasn't even been distributed to most stores yet and they're already pretending it's "worth" $115+.

Was this actually released widely in UK/Europe? At the time (late 90s) it was import-only (Japan and ?Australia)... The codes here suggest it was a Sweden-only issue. Anyone have more info on this? I'm skeptical...

Pretty disappointing selection to be honest. Many classics included, but some eras feel so misrepresented - the earlier years with Maki in particular miss a handful of obvious inclusions (Baby Love Child, Twiggy Twiggy), and the later years just... See full review

Saint Etienne are a British pop band, in no way involved with the Shibuya-kei movement that P5 (along with other Japanese artists like Cornelius, etc.) spearheaded. They do draw from many of the same influences (lounge, exotica, etc.) and have a lot... See full review

Unfortunately it's just been random (generally the few early, pre-1991) albums, mini-albums/EP and compilations getting reissued in recent years. I'd love a full album campaign with vinyl - or even settle for the US Matador albums. They do have a new... See full review

Interesting that they mention later album demos departed more dramatically from the final product (since they went away from their habit of rehearsing before recording). So while these are by comparison closer to the final versions, the later albums... See full review

It's definitely not worth it for what it is, and won't hold it's resale value in the future compared to vinyl (pity for whoever pays it). What's more irritating is that something meant as a nice bonus treat for fans is just being exploited for... See full review

These sound amazing!!! Really happy with the package overall (though notes on sleeves rather than on the back of the foldout poster would have been a bit better - as it stands you have to open it fully to read, and can't really use it as a poster... See full review

I emailed Be With Records after their recent reissue of Roisin Murphy's "Overpowered" album to ask if they'd ever consider doing Moloko's "Statues." They told me they'd love to but could not because BMG was supposedly going to do their own? We'll see... See full review

Well, when you can't commit to actually finishing a new album, gotta pay the bills somehow... The pricing is outrageous and makes it a definite miss for me. Would be nice if they had a standard version without the frills for a more reasonable price,... See full review

After waiting 12 years for a reissue, a little patience would benefit you. Order it online like everybody else - you'll get it eventually. Many UK releases don't get US distribution either, just be glad you're getting it at all!

I love Saint Etienne, but "Mondo Casino" is in so many ways a huge letdown for fans. While some of the selections are very hard to find, a handful have been included as vinyl rips, with some at the wrong speed - an unforgivable choice in almost any... See full review

Vocals are the same but the production is pretty distinct. Only "Cherry" has the guitar melody.
