Bananarama remasters
Don't laugh, it's true. I was on Rhino's website to see what other new releases they have coming up. I was very impressed with what they did with Depeche Mode's back catalog and that Pretenders box set. And sure enough, Bananarama is the latest to get the remaster treatment from them. Now, their early stuff is a guilty pleasure of mine. When they were more "new wave". Really hated it when they became assembley line dance music. Anyway, for those who care (less than a handful I'm sure), their first six studio albums were reissued with bonus material, including alternative versions, remixes and B-sides. And Best Buy online has all of them for $11.99 each (Import!)

They were always good until the Pop Life album with Siobhan's replacement but got back to the good stuff for their last London Records album Please Yourself, or is it Enjoy Yourself?
The less said about the two albums inbetweeen Drama the better.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but from what I heard the remasters are lackluster. Misplaced mixes and some of the bonuses are remastered from vinyl! It sucks really bad because I really wanted to buy.
I hate it when remasters seem to be made by 12 year olds. I'm still pissed by what RCA did to the remastered Peace album from the Eurythmics.
I think if it wasn't for them there wouldn't be Flans (mexican girl group from the 80's with 3 members as well). They were in the same vein but never drifted into hi-nrg dance music thank god.
