Aztec Camera Catalogue to Be Expanded by Edsel in August

August 1, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

The brilliant, multifaceted work of Roddy Frame's Scottish pop band Aztec Camera will see significant expansion courtesy of the hardworking folks at Demon Music Group.

Aztec Camera's six studio albums, featuring singer/songwriter Frame and a rotating cast of musicians (including future Smiths second guitarist Craig Gannon, drummer Steve Jordan, keyboardist Tony Mansfield and others), will all be expanded by Edsel on August 27. Debut LP High Land, Hard Rain (released in 1983 on Rough Trade Records), Mark Knopfler-produced major-label debut Knife (1984) and final album Frestonia (1995) will all feature bonus tracks, including B-sides, remixes and live cuts, appended to the remastered discs. Middle albums Love (1987), Stray (1990) and Dreamland (1993) will all feature full bonus discs, with assorted goodies scattered throughout (Stray features copious remixes of hit single "Good Morning Britain," a collaboration with Mick Jones of The Clash, as well as non-LP track "Do I Love You?" from the Red Hot + Blue compilation to benefit AIDS research; Dreamland features an entire 1991 live show excerpted over four CD singles.)

While Demon's site has not listed every reissue title yet, it looks like all of them will feature deluxe casebound book packaging and liner notes featuring lyrics and new annotations by Terry Staunton of Uncut. (It's worth noting that Frame doesn't have anything to do with these reissues, but let slip to a fan on Twitter  that he is in talks with a "supercool US label about releasing the definitive set (w/ rarities, home demos etc)" in 2013.)

A hat tip to Super Deluxe Edition and Slicing Up Eyeballs for their great coverage of these titles. After the jump, check out the track lists and pre-order links courtesy of Amazon U.K.!

His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    I scoped all of you (as "aswyth") by nearly a week! But I messed up the track listings for "Knife" (by omitting the live stuff) and "Stray" (by indicating the wrong number of "Good Morning Britain" remixes):

    The twitter news, if it happens, may be the best news of all!

    Edsel is kicking some serious butt with all these 80s reissues. I love it.

      To back up my previous comment, Demon Music Group just announced reissues of the first three Ian McCulloch solo albums next month! The "Candleland" set will have an astonishing 22 bonus tracks, including 7 remixes of "Faith and Healing." They're churning these reissues out so fast that I hope they're giving due attention to sound quality. I could see some of those obscure McCulloch mixes being sourced from vinyl, unless Edsel is willing to dig deep into the archives. I hope the quality will be good.

    I hope these CDs will be available in the US. I am a big fan of Aztec Camera. I remember going to the Aztec Camera show in Boston back in the 1990s.
