Lulu - Independence (Reissue)

2026-07-30T13:00:19.228+02:00

I haven't listened much to Lulu, with the exception of her Eurovision hit "Boom Bang-A-Bang" and her Bond theme "The Man With The Golden Gun". However, I do like her album "Independence" (1993) which has a more dancey soul-pop sound, for example the fabulous title track that was a hit in the United Kingdom.

The album has just been reissued by Cherry Pop Records as a remastered and expanded deluxe edition consisting of four CDs and one DVD, packed with non-album singles, remixes, B-sides and other rarities.

Kim Wilde - Teases & Dares (Reissue)

2026-07-23T14:14:25.901+02:00

One of my favourite albums, "Teases & Dares" (1984) by the fabulous Kim Wilde, has been remastered and expanded by Cherry Red Records and it sounds great, better than the 2010 reissue in my opinion. I absolutely love the synthpop sound of this underrated album.

The singles "The Second Time" and "The Touch" are some of my all-time favourite songs and should have been huge back in the day. The reissue consists of two CDs and one DVD packed with rare material.

Madonna - Confessions II

2026-07-08T15:51:42.260+02:00

It's always amazing when Madonna, one of my favourite artists, releases new music, especially dance music, so I've been busy listening to her new album "Confessions II". I bet you're not surprised to hear that my number one favourite track is "Danceteria", with its electronic dance sound.

The queen is back!

Kim Wilde - Close (Reissue)

2026-03-19T07:15:00.001+01:00

Some albums are extra special, and for me, one of my favourites is "Close" (1988) by the fabulous Kim Wilde. It has just been reissued and expanded by Cherry Pop Records. The album was previously reissued back in 2013, but the sound quality wasn't great, so the new reissue has been beautifully remastered from the original master tapes. It sounds amazing.

The album includes the singles "You Came", "Never Trust A Stranger", "Hey Mister Heartache", "Four Letter Word", and "Love In The Natural Way". Personally, I think that "Stone" should have been a single too, since it's a synthpop masterpiece.
