Well, Iīd like to know about ProgRock reissues on cd in the last 5 years. Really I have been a little out of prog last years, cause I love Hard Rock and a little Metal too (well, and good pop music as Beatles, China Crisis, Talk Talk...etc), but the most I liked always is Hard and Progrock.
Buy music in spanish music stores is a truly pain. Here rock music has always been marginalized, and even is very difficult sometimes to find a Camelīs cd or a Genesis one. Meanwhile, pop and latin music have big shelves fulled with awful music in many times. For this (and for many other things) Spain is different. There not exist music culture. So, rock is difficult to find. Only basic things...
Now, Iīm willing to buy some progrock cdīs and I would like to know which have been reissued in the last 5 years. Iīll buy online, of course. I donīt mind if the reissues are from famous or less famous bands. That isnīt relevant. Only wanna know about the reissues and if results interesting for me to buy them. Well, Iīd preffer them to be from the seventies period.
Iīll be very grateful to you if you can remind some of those reissues.
 Sure you have any examples to give me. Youīre real Prog Rock bibles. Thanx again, guys!  ------------- http://img229.imageshack.us/i/bonfirma.jpg/">

The Gentle Giant catalogue. The two Gnidrolog albums on one CD - cheap ! Genesis re-releases. King Crimson remasters. ELP. The list goes on and on. I remember the Spanish death metal scene. Night To Die was an excellent band. |

Most of the FISH era Marillion stuff has been re-released every 3/4 years, all getting quite expensive.
I also know YES albums and GENESIS stuff is being re-released quite comprehensively, and quite thankfully, that includes nearly all of the catalogue of both of those prog legends. -------------

You have mentioned Camel. I found their CDs for very "get-at-able" prices. I've ordered them under favour of my friend, and if you are interested, I can ask him for more info.

Camel and Genesis were only just examples to give you an idea of how are ProgRock and Hard Rock treated in spain. But a true fact, really. Last week I went to a big stores just to buy Beatlesī Revolver for my brother, and they only had a Camelīs greatest hits one and another Genesis Live album (Phil Collinīs era). In the same way the two only Beatles cds they had were Sargeant Peppers and Love Songs...(spain=is-pain
 ). The normal thing here is that if you go to question about a Gentle Giant or a Greenslade cd, the clerk will say you":eeeeeiiihh?what kind of music do they: rap, hip-hop?". (real).I have almost all Camelīs catalogue, and I have just ordered "Rajaz" and "Harbour Of Tears". Anyway, thanks, AstralliS.
And to all of you that have contributed writing those titles. Thank you very much.
Keep on remembering reissues, please!  ------------- http://img229.imageshack.us/i/bonfirma.jpg/">

| Genesis' new 1970-1975 is great, if you can stomach $140 bucks at a time. Pink Floyd's entire catalog was just released as a box set, but that is about $200. If there is a way you can buy from Barnes and Nobles (www.bn.com), King Crimson cds are at the most $12. |

Does that include the fantastic Supersisterous live album ? I paid a king's ransom for that double CD one year ago. Their first two albums on one CD is one of prog rock's best bargains, btw. |

I got the two first Osibisa albums on one CD today. They are recommended by PA and the CD was a bargain. The music is excellent and I am having a highly enjoyable swinging, dancing day & evening at the office. That CD should be added to this list. |

Hi,
Camel's album called "Nude" is still tied up somewhere in the graveyard ... needs to come out. It's an excellent album.
Second Hand
Faust ... not to mention that the index's for these are really messed up in most databases!
Banco's early stuff
There are many others ... It's a Beautiful Day needs to get their first 3 albums redone, for example, and even Jefferson Airplane has not redone their material ... probably because Balin and Kantner ... enough of that ...
Golden Earring
Focus
Kayak
just for starters ...

Excellent stuff! I also recommend the Caravan re-releases, with some wonderful bonus tracks - if you haven't got them yet. |

At this point I think it's better to wait for the 5.1 remixes done by Steven Wilson!  Fripp says they sound better than the originals! |

Thanks you very much for the recommendations!
I didnīt know anything about Caravan reissues, Iīll look for them just to see if bonus tracks are interesting.
Iīll do emphasis on Supersister, Second Hand, Faust and Osibisa new releases. Itīs interesting always to listen the new remasters. And of course some of King Crimson, you say they sound better than...
Well, thanx again. If somebody wants to keep on remembering reissues, theyīll be welcome.
Cheers,
Sergio. ------------- http://img229.imageshack.us/i/bonfirma.jpg/">

At least, you should know that here, we are even in bad position, speaking of CD shops which sell such releases. I am not sure even if I can get here (in Serbia) classics as Pink Floyd, Beatles, let alone Genesis, Camel, Comus, Gentle Giant, etc. Btw, can you please give me the link from where you've ordered a copy of "Rajaz"? Thanks in advance.  ------------- |

Sure! The cheapest place I saw Camel cdīs I was looking for, was in own Camelīs Official Website. http://www.camelproductions.com/ - http://www.camelproductions.com/
For example, "Rajaz" is only 9.59 euros, when I saw it in another music virtual shops much more expensive. (for example, in americanīs cd Universe, price is 19.95 $ and you must add ship expensives...
)Thereīre good prices in Camelīs official web, though the most classic ones arenīt in catalogue, but I have already got them. ------------- http://img229.imageshack.us/i/bonfirma.jpg/">
