All tracks taken from the remastered cd’s except the Baby Turns Blue – Director’s cut which is exclusive to this release. This 12″ will be very limited and available in selected stores and via Mute Bank mail order.
very anxious to hear the remix.. normally, I’m a bit sceptic towards ‘contemporary’ remixes of older tracks, but since Colin Newman was the producer at the time of the original release, I guess/hope he’ll have done the song justice..
btw, will there be a sleeve to the 12″? so we can discuss the artwork again 😉
Remix sounds awesome, I can tell you. Not usually keen on remixes, but this one works.
Don’t know if there’s going to be a sleeve.
WILL ‘EXTENDED PLAY’ NOT BE RELEASED ON CD -SINGLE ALSO ??IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE NEW REMIX OF ‘BABY TURNS BLUE’ ON CD TOO,DON’T YOU THINK ?IT WOULD COMPLIMENT THE RE-RELEASES TOO,SEEING AS THEIR ONLY COMING OUT ON CD.HOW ABOUT ANYONE WHO BUYS ALL OF THE NEW RE-RELEASES TOGETHER, GETS A FREE VERY LIMITED EDITION ‘BABY TURNS BLUE’ 1 TRK CD !!!!
What a dissapointment! This is no more than a rehash of ‘Facilities of a broken heart’ and not a terribly good one either. Fancy getting Colin Newman, who ruined the songs on ‘If I die’ to remix an already overly long track.
when will the tribal tracks on if i die i die ever be remixed by a stomping hippy goth i say! “i looked at my watch…” (hey! maybe there is!)
