pitchfork.comJust discovered this band a few months ago. They’re phenomenal. I like their first album the best which seems to be unusual.

Hey, I have pretty much the same story. After Cue Fanfare showed up in my Discover Weekly list on Spotify a couple of months ago, I quickly fell in love the whole album. It's absolutely brilliant, there's not really a weak song on there. The other albums were a little disappointing after starting with Swoon, but they certainly have their moments too.

Haha. Spotify algorithms bringing people together ☺️

do i own these already? yes.
will i be acquiring each one? also yes.
langley park needs this remaster so badly i can not WAIT.
the reissues:
Swoon, 1983, their debut
From Langley Park to Memphis, 1988, their 3rd LP and commercial breakthrough (with the worst cover art of all time! love it!)
Jordan: The Comeback, 1990, their 5th LP and a certified classic
Life of Surprises: Greatest Hits, 1992, their..... greatest hits collection (side 3 will make you swoon)
perhaps the remasters should be the most exciting thing to most fans - these records show their age when turned up at all, and i cannot wait for “Cars and Girls” to not disintegrate in my ears!

I'm in the same boat - I'll definitely pick up Jordan.

Legendary band, eagerly waiting for these

Had to cop Jordan immediately. I have originals of swoon and Langley but have been needing Jordan for years now.

Anyone know why they're skipping Steve McQueen (aka Two Wheels Good in the US).
Also, I wonder if they'll make Jordan a 2LP set as they crammed a lot of music onto a single LP originally.
Edit: Nevermind; I should've gone to the site first. Jordan will be a 2LP - nice! $17 to ship to the US? Not so nice.

Steve McQueen has its 35 anniversary next year, i bet that’s why

I'm having a hard time justifying paying $17 (more than 1/2 the cost of the goods!) to ship a 180g 2LP to the US when I paid $9 shipping for Doves "Lost Souls" 180g 2LP a couple/few months ago.
That being said, maybe my loss will be someone else's gain! :) I already own an original of Jordan, but having a 2-disc set would've been nice. Maybe I'll get lucky and a local store will buy a few copies.

is it being digitally remastered as well? or is it vinyl only?

based. one of the best sophistipop/new wave bands of the 80s and criminally under appreciated by the general public
