released 13th July 2010 ?

cd link now not there, some John Williams album?

Hrmmm - only one disc; could sound like a re-packaged 808:88:98, IMHO...

Good find nevertheless, Pete - thanks for the heads-up...!

[markus]

Hmmm, this could be an updated 88:98 by Salvo.

Its a bit early -But discussions on a new "Best Of" through Salvo are underway-More likely to be October.Likely to be double.

[dee3]

WOO-HOOO!!! (Now - where's the "Like"-button...?)
In any event, this sounds exciting, Graham - 'hope it happens in October...!

[SteveC]

I'll echo my woo hoo I posted on my previous post

[PeteB]

ooh hope it contains post ztt stuff too, outpost, quincy(7"), invader - i'll dream on shall i

The Art of Noise new best of coming out soon on salvo - Influences - containing ztt & china records releases aswell as unreleased stuff

[Mark]

Sounds promising.

We had the bonus of Crash of the previous 'best of'

If a new Salvo release is to be a double, perhaps we'll get a couple more surprises!

I would love to see Quincy's, Invader etc..... on there too.

Now we're talking!

Salvo seem to mean business. Are they just re-releasing ZTT stuff, or are they financing new releases? (He says, very hopefully)

Just seen this thread and this is really good news. My hopes for this addition to the 808 State archive materal is that it is a completely new "Best Of" and not a rehash updated 808:88:98, although that in itself would be welcomed if nothing else is planned.
Everybody has their own favourite tracks and you can bet some won't be included in on this project so what I am hoping to see to keep old fans and newbies happy is a complete singles anthology over 2 or 3 discs to keep everything up to date to where we are now and yes it would be nice to have the odd one or two exclusive completely new tracks as a thankyou to die hard fans.
This should Include all singles releases not just the ZTT sessions but everything 808 have released as a single from the Creed label to now. This will probably never happen but an Anthology of material such as what Beastie Boys did with their stuff would umbrella the whole dance and electronic music scene that 808 were a part of and helped establish in the first place from way back circa 1988.
Ok I have had my say but whatever becomes of all this I will be preordering my copy asap.

[PeteB]

is Ian Peel working with Graham on the best of cd? i still do wish for quincy (slut small 7") & invader make the release

[Ancodia]

Is it just me or does the original Amazon link now show a John Williams compilation?

[PeteB]

yes it does, nice change

[Mark]

Dead in the water then????
