LMLR is a subsidiary of Culture Factory, so it will come in a beautiful mini-LP repro package, but the "remaster" part is iffy. If you're hesitant, wait for reviews first.

would i LOVE a good remaster of this? YES!
(although a DDD recording, it's got an odd overall sound quality to it which i hope could be remedied.)
but it's disheartening to think that the bonus 12" material looks to be missing.
i'll continue praying that ZTT take the project under wing.

Exactly. This needs an *expanded* reissue, as well as an attention-to-detail remastering...

The UK cd, which has been corrected to contain the full-length album with interview segments intact, has a lovely ZTT-quality booklet, so no need to spring for Culture Factory product. Though it's ZTT's top requested title for the deluxe treatment, they are mum about it, and I believe it's because this one is owned by Universal. Given that they've pulled out the stops with the disco trilogy, I wouldn't be surprised to see something show up from them down the road for this title.

I'm hoping for a deluxe treatment of Living My Life, my favorite Grace Jones album, with the full 12" version of "The Apple Stretching"!. :)

and that as well!

the deluxe edition of Nightclubbing is superb - perhaps continuing-on with that campaign for her other releases?

Love Culture Factory's packaging as well as the excellent choices of titles they release, just don't care at all for their mastering. :ohno:
