Cool. I've seen these listed recently as coming out in March, but "Argy" wasn't on any of the lists I saw. Excellent!!!

I hope this live concert sounds better than the POS they included with the recent Counting Crows DE.

I saw these on Tower.com for $12.68 a piece which is very good. Argybargy was $29.68 I believe-also good, but too much for me right now even at the cheapest I've seen it. I will get the others though, they look great. Amazon.UK's prices are reasonable and of course, ordering from there helps the site, so either way is good.

Sumthin's up! Amazon UK seems to only offer these from private sellers at the moment!

The Frank remaster is showing as in stock at Amazon UK. The others seem to have been delayed. (I wouldn't necessarily trust their third party dealers for those yet, it's possible they're offering the earlier un-expanded pressings.)

The Universal re-ish's have been delayed and delayed again a number of times. Here's an earlier thread.

Most of the 3rd party dealers with new imports are drop shippers. I wouldn't trust them saying a delayed item is in stock AT ALL.

Tower.com lists these reissues with a release date of 12/31/2025. I'm beginning to think that might be just about right!

I bought mine from Siren Disc on 3/7, because I noticed that their website indicated that they were "Out Now!"

I received an email stating "Your SIREN DISC Shipment Is Now Being Processed" yesterday afternoon, so it looks like they have some in stock. Will let you know when I actually receive

My "Argybargy" DELUXE and "Sweets from a Stranger" came in the mail over the weekend, and they look great! I will order the "Frank" remaster if I can find it cheaper, down the road. But I just could not justify getting "Ridiculous" again, it does not appear to be remastered, I already own two copies of it (the UK and US releases, only difference is the front cover), and it doesn't contain any of the b-sides from the "Electric Trains" or "This Summer" singles. Plus, I hardly listen to it now.

Just resurrecting this thread to see whether there's been any news of continuing the UK reissue campaign. If there's information out there, I can't find it. Very frustrating.

FWIW, though, the deluxe Argybargy can now be had for less than $20 shipped from several AmazWAN sellers (or from Amazon UK).

Hey Ven, I was just thinking the same as well this weekend. I was listening to "Frank" yesterday and I have all the remasters issued this year so far.
By the way, the "Argybargy" at $20. is an excellent price for the two CD set for all who do not have this as of yet.

Thanks for the reminder, I think AB is their best album & I still need to pick this up.
