Gillan re-issues
This is excellent news. Much more appropriately compiled than the Metal Blade/Virgin re-issues, these stick for the most part to the correct chronology. Glory Road is even a double disc to recreate the limited edition 2LP set which included For Gillan Fans Only. It is also the first time the flexi-disc only "Spanish Guitar" has been made available on CD. Too bad they're putting it on the wrong disc. Since it's a Gers-era track, it should have been added to the studio disc of Double Trouble.
PRESS RELEASE
Edsel Records (through Demon) will be releasing a selection of seven
Gillan and Ian Gillan Band albums in March and April. These will
comprise of five chart albums, which were originally released
between 1979 and 1982, including Glory Road which charted at 3 and
Future Shock UK at 2. Together the seven albums feature eight chart
singles.
The first batch of Gillan releases hit outlets on 2nd April and
include Mr Universe (1979), Glory Road (1980), Future Shock (1981)
and Double Trouble (1981). These will be followed on 7th May with
Ian's first solo album Child In Time (Ian Gillan Band, 1976), Live
At The Budokan (Ian Gillan Band, 1977) and Magic (Gillan, 1982).
All seven albums have been digitally re-mastered by Ray Staff
(Bohemian Rhapsody, Physical Graffiti, Corrine Bailey Rae, Deep
Purple) and will feature bonus tracks including live recordings,
and `b' sides as well as album out-takes. The deluxe packaging
will contain photos, lyrics, memorabilia and some wry observations
of the times by Ian Gillan himself.
Gillan says: `It's about bloody time!'
These albums feature some of Ian's cohorts including Janick Gers,
Bernie Tormé, John McCoy, Colin Towns and Mick Underwood as well as
the Gillan classics Sleeping On The Job, No Easy Way, Trouble,
Mutually Assured Destruction, New Orleans, No Laughing In Heaven,
Nightmare, Restless and Living For The City. There are also fabulous
live versions of Deep Purple classics including Child In Time, Smoke
On The Water and Woman From Tokyo.
Ian Gillan is rock royalty, and has become an erudite elder
statesman of the genre. He was the original Jesus Christ Superstar
and - with Deep Purple - he co-wrote and sang Smoke on the Water
(one of the most popular songs of all time) among dozens of other
hits. He's always made music for music's sake, not to appease
critics, the industry or anyone else; to quote the man.'It's
important to step off the highway sometimes and take the scenic
route.' He has played to tens of millions of fans, and sold over
one hundred million records. To this day he approaches writing,
recording and touring with the zeal, passion and commitment of an
eighteen year old. Currently on tour with Deep Purple - His life is
music - listen and enjoy.
Gillan's new DVD, Ian Gillan Highway Star: A Journey In Rock is also
released 2nd April. Deep Purple tour in the UK from 21st April.

Re: Gillan re-issues
Great news !! I think it's also the first time some other tracks are on CD; some from For Gillan Fans only, Lucille from the No Laughing in Heaven Single and the studio version of Smoke witch is said to be quite awful !

I'd have to check, but I think Lucille is on Gillan's "What I Did On My Vacation" CD. That horrible "live in the studio" version of SOTW is on "The Gillan Tapes Vol. 3", but if I recall correctly, it's edited. Hopefully the version on the re-issue is complete. They still haven't released the single version of No Laughing In Heaven on CD. It's a completely different take than the album cut. It's much shorter and actually ends, as opposed to the album version which fades out.

Re: Gillan re-issues
Shouldn't this be titled re-re-re-issues. One new track here and one new track there, doesn't make them something special. Not worth it if one have the LP's.

According to the Caramba site, they're actually putting Spanish Guitar on the Double Trouble studio disc. This is good news and indicates that they're trying to make these as chronologically accurate as possible. Now if they'd just take the 1980 Reading songs off the Double Trouble live disc.....

So the only thing he mixed was "Live at Montreux 1996"?

Re: Gillan re-issues
MORE GOOD NEWS:
Sanctuary Records, together with Virgin, will be re-issuing Ian Gillan himself this April, and in a press statement they say that he will be re-issued at the age of 23 with the same voice he had back then. This is also done so that they can make money of his music much longer in the future than what was expected, because now there will be re-issues of the music the re-issued Gillan will make.
If they make enough money out of this project, there are also plans to re-issue Peter Green and John Mayall.
