And Don't It Feel Good (To Have an Update)

May 10, 2010 By Mike Duquette 2 Comments

Way back in the early days of The Second Disc, we reported on a set of remasters from Katrina and The Waves due for an April release. Only somewhat recently did we realize the release date had passed - but unlike most reissues that get announced and forgotten about, these actually came out.

Well, sort of, anyway. As of this writing, all four reissued LPs (Kimberley Rew's The Bible of Bop, featuring tracks from The Waves, The Soft Boys and The dB's; The Waves' debut EP, Shock Horror! and both Katrina and The Waves and Katrina and The Waves II, which predated the band's remixed and re-recorded 1985 LP (also called Katrina and The Waves) for Capitol, which spun off the hit version of "Walking on Sunshine") are available on CD in the U.S. on Kyboside Records.

So far, only The Bible of Bop and Katrina and The Waves are available digitally, with the remaining two slated for digital release over the next two weeks. That same day of Shock Horror's digital release in the U.K. (May 23), the four will be available for physical purchase in the U.K. And if you decide to purchase them all digitally directly through the band's Web site (where all this info is coming from), you'll get a free copy of a new anthology disc they're planning.

To top it all off, I'm getting conflicted reports that these sets might be limited, so act fast if you want them. Hit the jump to check the specs!

    Its truly sad when a re-issue of such low quality is hyped up such as this.

    I'm sorry but Katrina and the waves are better left in the 80s. It has not dated well.
