Kylie Minogue's PWL albums reissued

As you know, Kylie Minogue is one of my biggest idols, and I love the Stock Aitken Waterman/PWL sound of the eighties and nineties. So you bet I'm excited about Cherry Pop Records' upcoming remastered and expanded reissues of Kylie's first four albums!

The Cherry Pop reissues come in three different versions:

1. The "Special Edition" includes one CD, with a couple of bonus tracks.
2. The "Deluxe Edition" includes two CD's, with tons of bonus tracks, plus a DVD with videos.
3. The "Collector's Edition" box set includes the same CD's as the deluxe edition, plus a vinyl copy of the original album, a poster, postcards and a book.

I'm so glad I didn't get the overpriced 2012 Japanese reissues since they didn't include nearly as many extras. Personally, I'm not into vinyl and fancy packaging so I'm getting the deluxe editions. I only miss the 1992 "Greatest Hits" tracks and some 7" mixes, but I'm sure there is more to come. But I'm thrilled about getting the original albums, B-sides and remixes digitally remastered.

I've listed all the bonus tracks on the deluxe editions down below, plus pre-order links. Note that I haven't listed the original album tracks. Also, the price on Amazon is quite high at the moment, but they usually lower their prices before the October 27 release. Enjoy it!
