This is! This heat reissues

This is!

A new label set up by Charles Hayward and Charles Bullen through Chris Cutler's ReR Megacorp to reissue in definitive form all of this heat's published CDs, unavailable since the death of Gareth Williams in 2001,and to prepare and release unheard material from their substantial archive.

The series will start with the first album 'this heat' from 1978 (known as "the blue and yellow"), due out in December, fully re-mastered.

The box

To mark the 30th anniversary of the group’s first concert on Friday the thirteenth of February, 1976, This is! will be issuing a limited edition BOX SET comprising all the official releases, newly re-mastered: This Heat, Deceit, Health and Efficiency, Made Available and Repeat, as well as a complete extra CD of previously unreleased material. This will come with a substantial and authoritative book of interviews, articles, rare photographs, memorabilia and documents tracing the history and the work of the group. All of these CDs will also be available singly, and further releases will follow later in the year. Everything will remain in print.

For more information on the label, the box and how to get the advance subscription edition please contact our distributor, ReR Megacorp at rermegacorp@dial.pipex.com


I definitely want the self-titled and Deceit, but I don't know if I can afford the whole box. Depends on how much it will cost. Still, it looks interesting.

Ive heard Deceit once or twice, but found them kinda boring actually

I would say most people that hate Animal Collective will despise This Heat. I love them both.

I read about this set a little while ago. Sounds great, but I think it will cost $77 US after conversion from pounds. Worldwide shipping is free, though.

Haven't decided if I will but this or not. I think each of the albums will be released separately later on so I might just get those. I've already got pretty much all of this stuff, but hopefully it will sound a little better now. Plus I'd really like to have some legit copies with something in the way of liner notes, and the box set promises a nice book.

And Splates, if you want to give them one more chance, check out the song "Horizontal Hold" from the s/t.

Does your girlfriend know to keep you away from her younger siblings and nephews/nieces?
