Slowdive albums re-released

So it looks like these are coming out in 2cd sets. I know Souvlaki was remastered in 2005, but I'm going to get my hands on whatever I can. I heard about this through soundamus but you could also try here

Cherry Red records

So dull that they're only officially releasing the Pygmalion demos. They're probably the least impressing ones. It's I Saw the Sun definitely that should be given proper release treatment, as it's like a second Souvlaki.

ooOOooh. i had no idea there was more material from Pygmalion : )

if you bought the 2005 remasters (which i did, all 3), this doesn't really seem to be worth it unless you'd sell those and re-purchase... for the most part this release is just a re-hash of those, except for pygmalion which was only a single disc in '05.

agreed! a friend gave me a burned copy of this a few years back. very unmemorable. and pygmallion is my fav release from them.

Are the 2005 reissues out of print?

I love Pygmalion almost as much as Souvlaki if not even more, but the Pygmalion demos are indeed rather unmemorable.. There's one great instrumental somewhere that doesn't appear on the album (Option One, I think) but for the most part it's just worse versions of the album material. I Saw the Sun on the other hand has a handful of never officially released ones, such greats as Richard and the Eternal cover "Sleep". Edited August 24, 2010 by 40days

wow so this is just a rehash of the 2005 reissues. pretty boring.

honestly, I only like about half the songs on Souvlaki, and that's my favorite Slowdive album.
