Iconoclassic Adds Three Titles to Reissue Slate (UPDATED)

March 3, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

The Iconoclassic label kicks off their year in reissues with some exciting surprise expansions of some great '70s and '80s titles. The three titles, which have no street dates or official track lists as of yet, are nonetheless tantalizing.

The label has handled a good portion of expanding and remastering the catalogue of Canadian rockers The Guess Who; this campaign's latest installment will see the reissue of Flavours (1975) for its 35th anniversary. The album, which included the last Guess Who Top 40 hit, "Dancin' Fool," will feature unreleased outtakes, new liner notes, and remastering by Vic Anesini.

Next up is a 30th anniversary edition of Raise!, the hit album by Earth, Wind and Fire which spawned a huge pop hit in "Let's Groove" and the Grammy-winning "Wanna Be with You." Several vinyl-only mixes will be included as bonus tracks.

And finally, another 30th anniversary edition, this time for the first Capitol album by The Tubes, The Completion Backward Principle. This was the band's first album produced by David Foster, who'd put them on the path to success with "She's a Beauty" later in the decade. Non-LP tracks, including singles and B-sides, will be included as bonus cuts.

Track lists and order links are now live over at the label's Web site. Hit the jump to check 'em out!

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. 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, 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.

    Just when I was starting to wonder if Iconoclassic was still in business, since their website hadn't been updated in a long time.

    And the EW&F is being mastered by Mark Wilder (who did a stellar job on past Sony/Legacy EW&F reissues) and Vic Anesini!

    Too bad Iconoclassic didn't get their hands on "Faces" too. I hear BGO's recent reissue on that wasn't mastered by those gentlemen and sounds like it.

    Definitely in for the Tubes. I hope the rest of their catalogue gets the same love.

    Also, I'm guessing the "follow-up single" is Sports Fans. The video probably won't be on YouTube for long because you can see Fee's Waybill.

    (I'm so, so sorry.)
