All the old Stiff titles which are being reissued this week in the UK, do yourselves a favour and avoid them. They're all being issued in the States in April at about 1/3 the price.

Thanks.
I would have jumped on these if I didn't know that.

Me too. I already had my eye on the Wreckless Eric reissue. Thanks Linda!

According to Harp Magazine, the titles are:
Wreckless Eric: Big Smash
Rachel Sweet: Fool Around
Dirty Looks: The Complete Stiff Years
Any Trouble: Where Are All The Nice Girls?
Tracey Ullman: You Broke My Heart in Seventeen Places
Is that the entire series? I couldn't find any other info.
Thanks for the heads up Linda.
Favorite quote from the article:
Quote: ...Stiff garnered a maverick—if not outright bloody-mindedness, as evidenced by ...a record titled The Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan, an LP consisting of two empty (literally) sides of vinyl.

Interested to see what shows up on the Tracey Ullman CD. Rhino's 1992 comp The Best of Tracey Ullman included the entire You Broke My Heart... album, plus 5 tracks from her second album and several non-lp single sides. Looks like the Rhino title is now OOP.
I also have a Repertoire CD pressing of You Broke My Heart... which appends 3 remixes and 2 b-sides. Do I really need a 3rd CD version?...why are you all looking at me like that?

OK, I picked up Wreckless Eric, Tracey Ullman, and Rachel Sweet today at 'Rama, but no sign of the other two titles...did they get delayed?

All y'all who have been waiting for domestic pressings, split these into two separate orders using the link above and get yourselves $10 off via Google checkout. "It's Stiff and it's cheap!"

Thanks Linda-lou! Good price there.
So cool to finally have Big Smash on CD.

Does Jimbo ever purchase CDs online? That would kinda screw up the concept of the Jimbo Lunch, but what about in a special case like this? Jimbo E-Lunch?

Well, I just put in my order for the Black Sabbath at Rhino Handmade--I used to find promos of their stuff all the time, but the well dried up over the past 3 years or so.
I also order regularly from AmazWan.UK, good prices for imports. And I usually charge up a storm when CD Warehouse has their semiannual sale.
