Reissue Theory: The Bangles

February 19, 2010 By Mike Duquette 6 Comments

The other night, my radio happened upon “Manic Monday,” one of the best pop songs of the 1980s. I’m sure you’re all aware that the tune was written by Prince (under the pseudonym “Christopher,” an effect from his Under the Cherry Moon days) and given to Susanna Hoffs and company after Apollonia 6 recorded a version that was never released. You may also know that the song itself hit No. 2 on the charts, kept from the top by none other than Prince and The Revolution’s “Kiss.”

You might not know why Sunday would be considered a fun-day (or an I-don’t-have-to-run-day for that matter). I don’t either, and that always makes me think why Prince would come up with such a line. Clearly he had more fun on Sundays than I did as a kid (I often used Sunday to mope about soon-to-be-manic Mondays). But I don’t think I could take it up with him – or The Bangles for that matter. And not only because Susanna Hoffs is crazy pretty, but because there’s better things to say to the band – like, “Hey! What if your albums got a heavy-duty reissue treatment?” (How’s that for a segue! Now, I realize all three are available, with a bonus track each, from Wounded Bird Records. But I suppose there isn’t anything stopping a guy from imagining what could be.)

In tribute to one of the best female rock groups of the ’80s, I give you a special three-for-one version of Reissue Theory, where I tackle All Over the Place, Different Light and Everything. Read on after the jump!

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    A couple of years ago I picked up a budget CD called Glitter Years: Rarities & Gems. It has some of the rarities you mentioned (such as “I Got Nothing” and the single version of “Hero Takes A Fall”) but it misses several while including some that aren’t rare at all. Go figure.

    I’d love to see the reissues you dreamed up here, but in addition I wonder if we will every get a full CD release of their early material as The Bangs? I know there was a three-song 3″ disc back in the 80s but it was incomplete and hasn’t been available in years anyway.

      I’d kept The Bangs’ material separate as it likely wouldn’t come out under Sony’s influence. I think it was I.R.S. that distributed that material (under the Faulty Products label in the U.K.) so I guess that would be Capitol that would have control of that stuff now?

      Interestingly, Rhino’s 2005 box set “Children Of Nuggets – Original Artyfacts From The Second Psychedelic Era 1976-1996” had “The Real World,” from that original EP, as well as “Getting Out of Hand,” from a 7″ single originally released prior to the I.R.S. EP.

      Haha, perhaps some things are better left unsaid.

    What I Meant To Say (B Side of Eternal Flame) is missing.
