The Warm Dust albums are now on CD; check out the Freak Emporium.

Confusion, will be my epitaph.

"Battiato, Franco - Clic" is available on CD!

For every truth even the contrary is true...

Argent's "Circus" is not available on CD, which is probably their best album.

My recent purchases:

Hi folks. I'm looking for "AIR CUT' by 'CURVED AIR' at the moment and various older sites say its not released on CD.I've seen reference to a Japanese release but ,if available, it costs an arm and a leg. Does anyone have any ideas?

Looking still the same after all these years...

several notes/comments:

Renaud had a second album, "Out of Time", also unavailable on CD.

I have Battiato's "Clic" on vinyl (British) & CD, and will check to see if track listing is the same.

I have Curved Air's "Air Cut" on CD, but it's obvious that some of the songs were lifted from vinyl or a really crappy tape (distortion), while others sound great. (Japanese cardboard mini-LP-style sleeve). I've been told no better CD version exists.

Not quite prog, but I've been aftera CD version Moving Home by Rod Argent for years.

I got the chance to ask Rod about it a couple years back, when he and Colin Blunstone played a Zombies gig at Glasgow's Renfrew Ferry. He said that it was an album that he really enjoyed but that there were contractual problems with the label (MCA) that have prevented its re-release on CD.

One of these days......

Followup on Battiato's "Clic"

The British Island label LP has 3 tracks on side one; all are on the CD, but in a different order. There is one long track on side two which takes material from the earlier album "Sulle Corde di Aries"; I can't tell if everything on this side is found on the two CD's mentioned, but I'm pretty sure it is, and I'm certain that the shared tracks were not re-recorded (as in PFM's and Banco's English releases; songs like "Celebration", "World Became the World" and "Outside" were completely re-done, not just the vocals).

So, it appears that there is no material on the "Clic" LP that doesn't appear on some CD.

Thanks, i already know your review.

We hope someone will have a turntable when we meet on March 18th; we will bring "Xitintoday" with us (and some other rare jewels from our collection).

BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

Hey, guess what KRAFTWERK 1 (1970), KRAFTWERK 2 (1971), RALF AND FLORIAN (1973) are avalable on CD but only as a bootleg (shhhhhhhh!!) so is TONE FLOAT (ORGANISATION, 1969)!!

I have the early Kraftwerk albums via bootleg CD (CROWN RECORDS), but the text is odd on some sentences making look unprofessional, which is a shame, but the music seems unharmed!!

A great album I agree; I relistened to it before I reviewed it a few months back and it was superb stuff.

The good news is that this album is coming out on Repertoire in a digipak next month, remastered too I believe, doubtless to Repertoire's usual high standards.

I have it but is a ripped one.

Is there an official version?

Here goes...

Colosseum II- Electric Savage, War Dance; two excellent jazz rock albums, both unavailable, in the UK at least. Ironic that their weaker debut has been given a deluxe 2cd treatment.

Tommy Bolin- Teaser; another one I've never seen on CD. His next album 'Private Eyes' I have on CD, but this I have only on a slightly worn vinyl. It's a hugely diverse album and deserves reissue now.

Soft Machine- Bundles/Softs; these were on CD a long time back but have gone out of print. What I've heard I like a lot- shouldn't have been called Soft Machine as it's not really.Deserves reissue in any case.

Argent- All Together Now; their biggest album and the only one of their early albums OOP. Explain that!!

David Byron- Take No Prisoners; Heep singer's solo album. A more cohesive album than Heep's albums of the same era.

Tony Williams Lifetime- Emergency, Turn It Over; never seen these about. I think they are out as imports, but why not UK versions?

Dave Greenslade- Cactus Choir; need to dig out the vinyl again as this isn't on CD either.

Hawkwind- Chronicle Of The Black Sword; haven't seen this either. In fact, most of their output post Hall Of Mountain Grill is OOP apart from bootlegs.

Protos - One Day a New Horizon has been recently reissued on cd.

Verto's albums should defnitely get a reissue as well.

Hello Oliverstoned.

Fireballet-Night On Bald Mountain is released as a CD/Reviuvre is re-released as a 1999 concert, along with the original Intencion album (Pan Y Musica label)/Ezra Winston-Myth of .. is released on CD by an Italian label/Satin Whale-Desert Places is also re-released on CD, I don't know which label.

By the way, impressive list, I know perhaps 25% of your list!

Yes, this list is not perfectly up-to-date.
Thanks for the precisions

Unbelievable. I was searching around for one of my rarities when i came across this discussion. I joined this board just to set the record straight. Oliverstoned took my list and made it his own. So here I am.

Anyway - here's the list. It's constantly updated... so there have been many changes since he cut and paste mine:

www.thomashayes.com/reissues is the main page

http://thomashayes.com/reissues/never/ is the list of missing albums not on CD.

Now remember, VERY IMPORTANT, these are albums that don't exist on LEGIT CD. Many of them have been booted - which doesn't count.

Now to your post Erik, you mentioned Fireballet's debut is on CD? What label? Are you sure it's not a boot?

The Atila "Reviure" album still remains unissued. Just the 1999 concert, which is inferior IMO.

What label is the Ezra Winston - Myth on?

Satin Whale - Desert Places only exists as a boot on Germanofon.

Do you own yourself "Xitintoday" on vynil?

BTW, there are a few mistakes in the list up:

I.E Kraftwerk II exists on CD, but not Kraftwerk I
(which is a shame)

Only as a bootleg. All of the Kraftwerk's and sole Organisation albums are boots on CD. Though as far as I know, the Tripkick LP reissue of "Tone Float" is legit.

Placebo's on that list?

Is that some old band named Placebo (just like there's a 60's band called Nirvana) or are the guys from the group Placebo actually really old?

Righ, different band. It's a Belgium funk fusion group from the early 70's headed by Marc Moulin. Highly collectable. There does exist a legit compilation CD that you can get from Dusty Grooves.

The albums by Group 1850 are released on CD:

Live: Progressive Line PL500 (2001)
Live on tour: Progressive Line PL501 (2001)
Polyandri: Twilight Tone TT013 (1997)

The albums are not remastered though, they are vinyl copies.

All boots unfortunately.
