Metamatic Forums News and Announcements John Foxx news John Foxx, Harold Budd and Ruben Garcia...

If you are a 'collector', then it stands to reason you will want it all simply by definition.

I do. At least just to make sure I have one copy of each release.
Only one, but I'm not a 'collector'. A South African edition with a different number on the label is of passing interest, but not a must-have.

But new editions with new artwork?? Of course, what's to even think about

I used to be a collector, had to have everything - then...I dunno...I guess I just looked around at a 'sea of stuff' - it was actually quite cathartic getting rid of loads of vinyl many years back.

Having said all that - there is absolutely no reason to own these albums again even on vinyl - but if they do come out on vinyl I'll be first in line!

I'll be buying this (the curse of the collector) but I hope against hope that this won't be another Digipak. Am I the only one who longs for the recent days when John's CDs were packaged properly in Jewel Cases? Far superior to this recent run of Digipak releases...

Both Translucence / Drift Music and Nighthawks will be issued in double and single digipaks respectively.

P.S. Welcome to The Forum…

No Dave, you are not the only one. I have grown to accept the digipack (rather that than nothing being released) but it still feels to me more like a CD single from back in the day. Easier to manufacture maybe (I have no idea), better for the environment (I seem to remember that argument - again I am no expert). They are also not so easy to store and more delicate.

I agree with this too.

As far as I am aware, D.N.A. was the last John Foxx album to be issued in a jewel case...?

"Nighthawks" arrived today - nice to see a prominent dedication to Ruben Garcia.

"Translucence/Drift Music" arrived Saturday - some great new images in the booklet.

Hi Robin

Is still to be released on vinyl?

Cheers
