Anniversary reissues

Seeing as the likelihood of new material is slowly diminishing by day, I'm curious. Are there any albums that people would like to see reissued as their anniversaries come? And if so, what with? Personally, I'd quite like to see a 20th Anniversary reissue of Different Class with b-sides, demos, live tracks akin to the Nirvana Nevermind re-issue.

 I mean, much more in depth. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't more DC era vault stuff to be released

If there's any in the vault to the standard of the vocada Common People remix I don't want to hear it.

There are no more songs left over from the Different Class era that haven't been released already. It was written pretty frantically. Original demos of the songs would be interesting but apart from that, if you wanna knock yourself out with endless Disco 2000 and Common People remixes go ahead.

Having said that another deluxe version of Different Class was slated for release a few years ago as part of Island Music's 50th/60th(?) birthday. Unsurprisingly it never materialised.

What about His N Hers and This Is Hardcore? Is there more stuff in the vaults?

I suppose by their very nature in being locked-away and unreleased it's always hard to know for sure what exactly remains in the archive. But the demo page on the old official site seemed to be fairly comprehensive and accurate as to the titles and status of recordings done by the band over the years.

There is stuff like a scrapped "Razz II", (whether that relates to a song similar to Razzmatazz or just another version of the same song I'm not sure) and "Grown Ups" - an instrumental piece demoed in 1997 but vocals weren't added apparently. That's scraping the barrel, I really doubt there's much more "new songs" out there (apart from the era leading-up to We Love Life).

Back when the Deluxe Editions came out, I put together a list of the odds and ends from the Island era that still haven't been released - see the thread here. As you can see, there's little there that's potentially mindblowing, although the demos would be nice to here.

One thing that we can add to that list now is a possible 1992 version of She's a Lady, from the Babies sessions. Still no confirmation that it actually exists though.
