Albums

OK Go: Of the Blue Colour of the Sky

EPs

Norah Jones: Chasing Pirates Remix EP

Re-issues

Elvis Costello: The Costello Show: Live At Hollywood High

The music was one of the better parts of that dull and dreary film.

^ I don't think this is a reissue. 3 of the songs from that date appeared on a free EP in 1979, but the rest of the show has never been released.

yeah, it just didn't seem right to bill it as new. especially after I got the shaft voting for the live nirvana in the albums poll.

Anybody listening to this? I'm a few tracks in and I really like it. Wasn't really a fan before... loved their videos though.

fair enough

good to see this thread up and running again... Mitch, are you using British release dates or the "actual" release dates?

First physical release in any country is the aim, I'm of course more likely to miss some US dates than UK ones.

As well as these:
