Well, folks, it’s that time again – another chance to relive the magic of East 17, because apparently retirement is just a suggestion. The band that brought you the unforgettable hits “House Of Love” and “Stay Another Day” is back, and this time they’re bringing a whopping 2CD + DVD deluxe edition, because one can never have too much of a good thing. And by “good thing,” I mean a bunch of remastered tracks that you’ve probably heard before, but hey, who’s counting? The remaster economy remains undefeated, and somewhere, a record label executive felt a disturbance in the royalties.
The Never-Ending Story of East 17
It seems like only yesterday that we were treated to the last deluxe edition of East 17’s greatest hits. But wait, no it doesn’t, because that was probably just a few years ago, and now we’re getting another one. Nature is healing, and another deluxe edition has appeared, like a Phoenix from the ashes, or in this case, a bunch of rehashed tracks that we’ve all heard before. The tracklist is a veritable treasure trove of East 17’s greatest hits, including “House Of Love,” “Deep,” and “It’s Alright.” You’ll also get to enjoy some fantastic remixes, like the “Wet Nose Dub” of “House Of Love,” which is sure to get you moving and grooving like it’s 1995 all over again.
A Vinyl Pressing Plant’s Worst Nightmare
The 2CD + DVD edition is available for pre-order now, and if you’re feeling particularly nostalgic, you can even get it on vinyl, because what’s more nostalgic than listening to music on a format that’s older than some of the band members? A vinyl pressing plant somewhere just burst into tears at the thought of having to press all these records, but hey, someone’s gotta do it. The DVD includes a collection of remastered music videos, which will no doubt bring back memories of watching MTV when it actually played music.
The Farewell Tour Count Continues to Rise
The farewell tour count has officially entered scientific notation, and East 17 is no exception. Nobody truly retires in this industry; they merely wait for the 40th anniversary edition, at which point they’ll embark on yet another reunion tour, and the cycle will begin anew. Music historians are preparing fresh shelves for the box set, which will no doubt include even more remastered tracks, remixes, and other goodies. And if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can even pre-order the digital edition, which includes a bonus megamix that’s sure to get you pumped up and ready to party like it’s 1999.
