Electronic best of

There's a rumour, how could it be true?

The way that people talk it's as if they knew.

I'm bored shitless with this. Buy Shug's DVDs instead.

Me too - I guess, we're all going to be Disappointed with this one (ahem).

Shug, I'd gladly contribute to your slush fund.

Drop me a email/text if poss

WTF?

Never really could get into electronic - I like Get the message but that't it really. No sale.

Although it probably wouldn't go on sale here anyw2ays, so problem solved.

Right, I think I know what's happened now. It was a very special limited edition release available only on HMV. There were less than a hundred copies and once they'd been pre-sold it was deleted.

This is a re-posting of a response I made on 'that other Electronic best of?' thread that is floating about, for what it is worth - seeing how much interest there is in this would suggest that people have got their hopes up for it. I don't any more. Of course there is always the possibility that another label is doing it but that would be unlikely.

Old post:-

There is nothing on the EMI site site and this is because there is crucially nothing on their release schedule with regards to an Electronic release, as revealed to me by a friend's contact at EMI here in the UK. He has heard absolutely nothing about any plans or activity to do with the band and I would have hoped he would have at this stage. The HMV link meant nothing to him either so I very much doubt a product will appear on their release date. Looking on the bright side, it might mean we could still be in with a shout for 2 discs...if and when it actually happens etc.

Rest assured, said contact is on the case and will alert/wake me if there are any developments.

All this confusion underlines how cool Shugz's DVD project is - as we already know, this once again just shows how you certainly can't expect any pleasant surprises from the record company (or the musicians for that matter), hence people taking matters into their own (more competent) hands to sort it out as it should be done.

Hi All:

First post for me!

I see that it looks like the Best of Electronic project might finally see the light of day. Take a look at this interview with Craig DeGraff from depeche-mode.com:

Exclusive Interview: Craig DeGraff

Towards the end of the interview, it says:

I'm also wrapping up a best of Electronic with help from the band - that should be out late summer/early fall.

There are some other New Order tidbits in this interview.

hey 80s fan,

thanks for posting that update! Exciting news.

Very disappointed, considering Barney saying there could have been 2 new tracks.

Yes, it is disappointing. I also thought there'd be more tracks on it. By the way, is Imitation Of Life a cover of the REM song?

No it's an entirely different song... Hmm it's appeared on amazon now, only one disc

Exactly, like I said, I thought there'd be more tracks. Not to mention new ones. :(

so, the dvd was a hoax?

Cool beans - I had the same idea about a new edit of Imitation of Life. :)
