   you should put your disks the right way up in their cases! why else do you think there is writing on them? for you to practise reading at weird angles?!

   To that I can only reply with a Monty Python classic, which is taken from the blurbs on the back of one of their soundtracks:” We laughed until we stopped.”. ;)

   P.S.: If you weren’t such a lazy sod and looked at the full-size images, you could discern writing on the CDs.Or do you have a Dutch monitor?

    Just got Beck’s “Odelay” in Deluxe Edition (came out today), so add that one to the list.

    Otherwise, thanks for the list. It’s the first comprehensive one I’ve seen so far.

    Mac,
    thanks for the heads up.

    This list is not complete anymore by a long shot and it needs to be updated … which it will be, probably next week.

    Right now health issues are keeping me from working on the site as originally planned … otherwise the “new” Universal Deluxe Editions page would have been finished already. I want to add quite a bit of information plus cover images.

15. 

    Volkher Hofmann May 28, 2008 at 12:06 Reply

    List updated. Hope it’s complete now. The Universal Chronicles site is down once again with an out of memory error (= as usual), the dedicated “Universal Deluxe Editions” site by Universal hasn’t been updated for ages, the Wikipedia “Universal Deluxe Editions” page(s) haven’t been updated either, etc. I would think that the Universal PR department sucks big time.

    Note: June should bring some new additions (see bottom of list) and aside from the only jazz UDE, John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme”, which has been around for quite a while, two classical UDEs have been added (Lang Lang; Anna Netrebko). Seems like there are plans to expand into the classical market if these two (bestsellers) go over well.

    Thanks everyone for adding your comments here. Keep ‘em coming in case I miss new releases again.

    I think it’s important to note that all the Cure releases are not on Universal (I own them all and they are Elektra/Rhino and does not feature the clear plastic slipcase).

    Also note: “Legacy Edition” (Matthew Sweet) and “Collector’s Edition” (Happy Mondays) should not be considered as part of Universal’s Deluxe Editions.

    @vu

    Thanks. I wasn’t sure about some of the (re)issues on the list which I don’t have and spent I don’t know how much time looking at covers, incorrect slipcase-photos etc. I’ll filter the Legacy editions and write up a separate post in the near future.

    Thanks for the heads up.
    Things will be fixed within a few days.

    What’s the deal with ArgyBargy? Online ads in Tower and HMV state that there are 19 live tracks on CD2 but the one I received from Tower only has 15. Are there two different versions of this Deluxe Edition?

    This list is very helpful for us collectors!
    Can’t wait for the Legacy Editions list!
    I thought the Cure titles do have slipcases (on Amazon.uk they seem to) I dont own any releases out of the US, but plan on picking some up for sure. It might be helpful to state which ones were released in US and which ones are imports…..

    Thanks Again, danny in houston

    Good page…very helpful to those trying to navigate through the rather haphazard jungle that is the Deluxe Editions series. Amazing the record company doesn’t have a more functional site of its own for these – this one’s actually more beneficial! I like some of the series a lot: Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Frampton and most of the Elton discs (don’t get the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road effort – lacking compared to the others)…oh, yes and Joe Jackson’s Night and Day. Great stuff there. Some of the titles, well, let’s just say they’re of questionable merit for Deluxe status and leave it at that.

    Steve Roberts August 30, 2008 at 20:15 Reply

    Hi, there! Thanks for putting up this list…to agree with AG above, it’s a pity Universal couldn’t make the effort! A couple more titles for your list…

    Soft Cell – Non Stop Erotic Cabaret;
    Black Sabbath – Paranoid (apparently this will be a THREE disc set, one CD of the album, one of outtakes, and an SACD featuring the original quadrophonic mix!);
    ELP – Brain Salad Surgery (ditto!)

    It might also be worth noting on your list which of the titles are deleted (Gin Blossoms, for example)

    For those interested, I’ve been working on a list like this over at Rate Your Music for some time now. I think it’s the most comprehensive list of titles in the Deluxe, Legacy and Collector’s Edition series on the Internet at the moment. Feel free to take a look.

    http://rateyourmusic.com/list/CampFreddie/deluxe__legacy_and_collectors_edition/

    And if anyone has any information on titles that are not on my list, please let me know (either here or by sending me a private message on Rate Your Music). Thank you.

    Yes, please do, as I am not updating this website anymore.
    Thanks for the link!

    My list is neither up-to-date anymore, nor is it accurate. I’m planning on fixing and updating this post (thoroughly) in April.

    Stay tuned!

    Want to see what should be in store for The Deluxe Edition Series for this year?
    Well, I just happen to have a list of wonderful titles that deserves to be part of
    the Deluxe Edition Series for 2010. Even though UMG does have enough time
    to include these timeless masterworks, here they are:
    1. Bryan Adams: Bryan Adams (1980). “His highly publicized debut album”
    2. Rush: Exit–Stage Left (1981) “A Celebrated live recording from the band”.
    3. Ike And Tina Turner: River Deep, Mountain High (1967).
    4. B.B. King: Live At The Regal (1965). “One of his most popular masterworks”.
    …and two masterpieces by Eric Clapton: Slowhand (1977) and Backless (1978).
    Now that I have presented you this list, let us hope that these masterworks
    get the Deluxe Edition treatment for the rest of the year. We know that times
    are tough right now, but the Universal Music Group can get itself the chance to
    have those classic albums included in The Deluxe Edition Series for the rest for
    2010.

    Would you like to see a sneak preview of wonderful classic titles that
    really deserves to be added to the Deluxe Edition Series for 2011?
    Now that I have answered this time-honoured question, I would like
    to present a list of priceless album titles that should be added to the
    Deluxe Edition Series. Unlike the several titles that I had mentioned
    to you to include for the rest of 2010, I will present all of you roughly
    14 masterworks which deserves to see the light of day on Universal
    Music Group’s Deluxe Edition Series, and here they are:
    1. Marvin Gaye: I Heard It Through The Grapevine (1968).
    2. Bill Haley And The Comets: Rock And Roll Stage Show (1957).
    “The First Great Live Rock And Roll Performance Put On Album!”
    3. Bryan Adams: Into The Fire (1987). “Another Perfect Masterpiece”
    4. The Police: Synchronicity (1983) “Another Important Chapter For
    Sting That Include The Landmark Hit Every Breath You Take”
    5. The Rolling Stones: Out Of Our Heads (1965). –Decca Records”
    6. : December’s Children (1966). –Also Decca.
    “These Are The Original Decca Records (U.K.) Editions!”
    7. Public Enemy: Apocalypse ’91–The Enemy Strikes Back (1991).
    “Another Dramatic Blow For Positive Hip-Hop and Public Enemy!”
    8. Chuck Berry: –with Bo Diddley, Two Great Guitars (1964).
    “A Landmark Duet Classic From Two Rock Guitar Legends!”
    9. Toots And The Maytels: Funky Kingston (1973).
    10.B.B. King: Completely Well (1970).
    11. : Indianola, Mississippi Seeeds (1970).
    “Two Blues Masterpieces From The Counterculture Era!”
    12. Joan Armatrading: To The Limit (1978). “Her Finest Hour!”
    13.Cream: Wheels Of Fire (1968). An Exhilarating Masterpiece”
    …and finally, last–but not least: this pop-rock classic,
    14.Cat Stevens: Buddah And The Chocolate Box (1974).
    These are the ‘album’ masterpieces that we believe should be
    part of The Deluxe Edition Series in 2011. Oh yes, for The Rock
    And Roll Stage Show from Bill Haley And The Comets, both MCA
    and the Universal Music Group may want to do a great deal of
    research on this landmark chapter from the early days of Rock
    And Roll, so they may want to do a careful and well-structured
    job of it (the live album could run for over 2 hours or 2% hours
    of complete running time). Let us hope their is a unanimous
    approval from UMG and The Deluxe Edition Series department,
    because these listed masterpieces certainly deserves to see
    the light of day when The Deluxe Edition Series gets ready for
    another set of reissues scheduled for the year 2011.
    P.S.: The second copy of my previous email letter was just a
    “Paragraph Collection”.

    How about giving several of The Jackson Five’s greatest albums
    the Deluxe Edition treatment? Well, I do happen to have a small
    list that include A.B.C. (1970), Maybe Tomorrow (1971) and even
    Dancing Machine (1974), which could be likely to be re-issued in
    their complete 2-CD Deluxe Edition set. Plus, you can even look
    into the band’s debut album Diana Ross Presents The Jackson
    Five (1969) and Micheal Jackson’s first solo album entitled Got To
    Be Thre (1971). So let’s notably the Jackson Dynasty about this
    special idea so we could give a shot with these timeless R&B
    masterworks that made the band such a household name in the
    music world–and even helped introduce the world to the late
    Micheal Jackson.

    In 1965, Paco De Lucia, a rising young flamenco star, deeply impressed
    the music when he rose to the top of the international spotlight with his
    debut album, which would not only made him a bright young star on the
    flamenco scene, but would give fresh new life to this wonderful music he
    became part of. However, I do happen to have a small list of albums the
    great flamenco master made for Philips Records, which we believe could
    become likely to get the Deluxe Edition treatment, so here are some of
    those masterpieces that we believe should get an official check-up from
    both Philips Records and the Universal Music Group. The titles include:
    La Fabulosa Guitarra De Paco De Lucia (1967), Fantasia Flamenco De
    Paco De Lucia, Hispanoamerica (Both 1969), Recital De Guitarra (1971),
    En Vivo Desde El Teatro Real (1975), Almoraima (1976) and Live…One
    Summer Night (1984). There is be a slight chance that unissued tracks
    that were left out and some live performance material are related to the
    classic titles mentioned on the list, but it could serve as a helping hand
    to the timeless legacy of the great Paco De Lucia. Now here is a brave
    CD re-issue discovery that will make this master music maker and the
    world of flamenco proud.

    Do you like Folk Music? Well, I do happen to have a list of classic
    folk titles that folk titans Richie Havens and Pete Seeger made for
    the Verve production label, who’s rich sweeping roster have include
    jazz giants ranging from Charlie Parker to Diana Krall. The titles I
    included on the list might serve as the likelyhood of becoming part
    of the Deluxe Edition Series, so I am going to present them to you.
    For Richie Havens, those titles include Mixed Bag (1967); Electric
    Havens (1968); Richard P. Havens, 1983 (1969) and even A State
    Of Mind (1971). His albums he made for Verve from 1967 to 1973
    would make him an international music star and solidify his proud
    reputation as a great socially-conscious folksinger, just alongside
    the great outspoken folksingers like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Harry
    Belfonte, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, just among others. And for
    those Pete Seeger titles, they include a couple highly praised live
    duet concert albums: one that he gave with blues pioneer Big Bill
    Broonzy entitled Pete Seeger And Big Bill Broonzy In Concert
    (1955), and one that he gave with Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon
    entitled With Memphis Slim And Willie Dixon At The Village Gate
    (1961). You can even check out his other live works, like At The
    Village Gate (1962), Broadside Newport (1963) and Pete Seeger
    On Campus (1963). (Broadside Newport is part of his Broadside
    albums he made for Philips Records between 1963 and 1964).
    Now that I have present you this special list of folk classics from
    Richie Havens and Pete Seeger, I hope their is an agreement by
    the Deluxe Edition team to find those timeless masterworks and
    see if they make it to the Deluxe Edition Series, which is likely,
    so they can again see the light of day to a fresh new generation
    of listeners. So let’s give them a shot.

    Here are a set of pop-rock masterpieces by Niel Diamond that
    needs to be checked if they need to recieve the Deluxe Edition
    treatment, and the ones that are lucky enough to become part
    of the Deluxe Edition library. Here are the titles: Velvet Glove
    And Spit (1968), which is worth a try; Brother Love’s Traveling
    Salvation Show; Touching You, Touching Me (Both 1969), Tap
    Root Manuscript (1970), Stones (1971) and Rainbow (1974).
    Even though they are just as likely to include unissued material
    left out or occasional live performances related to the albums,
    they certainly could stand a check-up from the Deluxe Edition
    team.

    Do you know that some of Black Sabbath’s greeatest albums have
    got the Deluxe Edition treatment by The Universal Music Group?
    Late last year, I checked on a number of MP3 albums on Amazon.
    com and found that a good number of their classic albums the band
    released in the 1970′s and early-1980′s had been released in their
    complete deluxe form with the help from both Philips and Mercury
    (mainly because they were released outside North America under
    the record label Vertigo, Philips’ answer to the Prog-rock market).
    These timeless heavy metal masterworks include Black Sabbarth,
    Paranoid (Both 1970), Masters Of Reality (1971), Sabbath, Bloody
    Sabbath (1973), Heaven And Hell (1980), Mob Rules (1981), Born
    Again and Live Evil (Both 1983). They just got this special deluxe
    edtion treatment just a decade ago. However, there are a couple
    classics by the band that really deserves to get the deluxe edition
    check-up, and they include Sabotoge (1975), which still sound as
    nerve-shattering and fascinating as ever; Technical Ecxtasy (1976)
    and Never Say Die (1978). So if you have any chance, which you
    in the Deluxe Edition re-issue department often does, let us give
    those three classic hits from Black Sabbath the deluxe check-up
    they deserve and see what happens.

    Anybody interested in some classic keyboard-driven rock and R&B
    music from the 1960′s and 1970′s? Well I just happen to have a list
    of some great titles that The Deluxe Edition Series needs to look up
    for their next check-up of classic albums that are likely to receive a
    deluxe seal of approval and they will include a chosen few by Jerry
    Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Alan Price and Billy Preston. From Jerry
    Lee Lewis: Rockin’ With Jerry Lee Lewis (1963), this one seems to
    be worth a check-up; The Greatest Live Show On Earth (1964), now
    this is likely to get the red carpet treatment from the Deluxe Edition
    team; Live At The Star Club, Hamburg (1965); Memphis Beat (1966);
    Soul My Way (1967); The Killer Rocks On (1972); Radio Special
    (1973) and The Session (1974). From Fats Domino: the self-titled
    classic from 1965 (Fats Domino ’65) and Southland, U.S.A. (1966),
    From Alan Price: A Price On His Head (1967), Price Is Right (1968),
    Performing Price (1975), Shouts Across The Street (1976) and even
    A Rock ‘N’ Roll Night At The Royal Court (1981). And finally, from
    Billy Preston, who was a highly creative wizard on the keyboards–
    both acoustic and electric–and one of the greatest R&B stars ever
    lived. They include: I Wrote A Simple Song (1971), Everybody Like
    Some Kind Of Music (1973), European Tour Live (1974), A Whole
    New Song (1977) and even a delightful duet classic with Syreeta–
    Billy Preston And Syreeta (1981). Now that I have given you this
    special list of classic titles that deserve to be part of the celebrated
    Deluxe Edition Series library, let us hope that an agreement will be
    made on giving these modern masterworks the deluxe check-up
    they truly deserve.

    Just recently, I just saw on Hip-O Records’ website that the two first
    great albums by Diana Ross And The Supremes were released in a
    2-CD deluxe edition each–they are Meet The Supremes (1963) and
    Where Did Our Love Go? (1964). I read about them in that website
    and on the All Music Guide where I was surprised and impressed of
    the way they were remastered in their deluxe format. Although they
    would be limited CD editions and likely to stay on MP3 websites as
    long as they please with great results, many said it could never had
    been done, but they certainly gave these historic R&B masterworks
    the grand-scale restoration they deserved. Plus, Hip-O even made
    the same deluxe restoration on several solo masterworks by Diana
    Ross herself: they are Everything Is Everything (1971), Touch Me In
    The Morning (1973) and Last Time I Saw Her (1974). However, we
    may come to believe that Motown might have plenty of more great
    albums from it’s golden age (1960-71) that are likely to recieve the
    deluxe edition red carpet treatment, so I would like to give you this
    special list of the other timeless R&B masterworks that Motown
    and UMG needs to check up on, and on this request I will present
    some of the classics from this groundbreaking period from music
    history. They include other classic titles by Diana Ross And The
    Supremes: A Bit Of Liverpool (1964), the band’s honoured tribute
    to The British Invasion, as well as More Hits By The Supremes,
    The Supremes At The Copa (Both 1965), I Hear A Symphony,
    The Supremes A ‘Go-Go (Both 1966), Reflections, The Supremes
    Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland (Both 1967), the thought-provoking
    socially-conscious Love Child (1968), Cream Of The Crop (1969)
    and even the superb duet album they made with The Temptations
    titled T.B.A. (Also 1969). Plus, they can make a check with two
    blockbuster albums by Diana herself, they are Ain’t No Mountain
    High Enough (1970) and The Boss! (1979). But there is more to
    choose from. They can check on a set of great titles by Smokey
    Robinson And The Miracles: Hi, We’re The Miracles (1961), The
    Fabulous Miracles, The Miracles Doin’ Mickey’s Monkey (Both
    1963), Going To A ‘Go-Go (1965), Away We A ‘Go-Go (1966),
    Smokey Robinson And The Miracles Live (1969), Tears Of A
    Clown (1970) and One Dozen Roses (1971). Plus, you can also
    check with several classic solo hits by Smokey himself, as they
    include A Quiet Storm (1975), Where There’s Smoke… (1979),
    Warm Thoughts (1980) and Being With You (1981). Also on the
    special list are Martha Reeves And The Vandalas, which include
    Heat Wave (1963), Dance Party (1964), Nowhere To Run (1966),
    Watchout! (1966) and Sugar ‘N’ Spice (1969). Well this should
    conclude the special request for now, even though not all of the
    albums from the golden age will recieve the deluxe edition midas
    touch, but there is a possibility that a majority on this list will
    get the deluxe treatment by Motown and the UMG, so what you
    can do is hope that an agreement is made on giving these works
    of art the deluxe edition treatment, which fully deserves with just
    and special honour.

    Are you thinking of adding a good number of classic jazz titles in The Deluxe
    Edition Series? Well, I just happen to have a plentiful list of great jazz titles
    from the 1950′s to the 1970′s that we think might become the likelyhood with
    getting the red carpet treatment from The Deluxe Edition Series. So here are
    the good number of titles that deserve to get The Deluxe Edition check-up by
    the UMG re-issue team and Verve Records.
    They include two Count Basie titles: The Count Basie Dance Bands (1952)
    and The Band Of Destinction (1956). A Classic masterpiece by Chris Barber
    and his band titled New Orleans Joys (1954), which also includes a stirring
    reindition of Rock Island Line by Lonnie Donegan (who was a member of his
    band at the time). Cannonball Enroute (1957) from Cannonball Adderley. A
    couple grand recital live albums from Oscar Peterson and George Shearing:
    they are An Evening With Oscar Peterson (1952) and An Evening WIth The
    George Shearing Quintet (1954). Several fantastic classic jam sessions by
    Dizzy Gillespie a couple duet hits with Roy Eldridge entitled Trumpet Kings
    (1955) and Trumpet Battle (1954), as well as Dizzy Gillespie Jam Sessions
    (1957) and even a live classic from 1961 titled Carnegie Hall Concert. Then
    we have several Gerry Mulligan titles like a great duet album he released in
    1961 with Johnny Hodges titled Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges; Live
    At The Village Vanguard, which he released in 1961 with his Concert Jazz
    Band that same year. And how about Live In New Orleans (1968)? Oh yes,
    their is a deluxe edition of Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster (1960) which
    was re-issued in it’s deluxe format in 1998. Then we have a couple Max
    Roach titles: Max Roach Plus 4 At The Newport Jazz Festival and The Max
    Roach Plus 4 On The Chicago Scene (Both 1958). Four classy trio titles
    from Ramsey Lewis: The Ramsey Lewis Trio At The Bohemian Caverns
    (1964), The In-Crowd (1965), Wade On The Water (1966) and Dancing In
    The Streets (1967). And four Chuck Mangione titles that deserve to get a
    makeover by the Deluxe Edition series: they include Friends And Love–A
    Chuck Mangione Concert (1970), Bellavia (1975), Main Squeeze (1976) as
    well as An Evening With Chuck Mangione (1978). A Couple Jimmy Smith
    titles: the tim-honoured live album Live In Europe (1965) and Jimmy Smith
    At At The Lowry Organ (1973). And finally, another celebrated live album
    by Stan Getz, entitled Dynasty, which came out in 1971.
    Now that I was eligable to give you this impressive list of jazz classics,
    I bet you their will be a great deal of involvement from the Verve production
    label. So let us hope that there is an approval for these timeless works of
    art, and that they finally get the midas touch from the Deluxe Edition Series
    from Verve and The UMG re-issue team. Once again, I would like to wish
    all of them the best of luck–because they certainly deserve plenty of it.

    Hello again. During the past year I just came up on a set of other classic
    albums on that were given the deluxe edition treatment by Hip-O Records
    and the UMG team, and I thought I would be able to present you a list of
    them on your website, because they belong in the Deluxe Edition Series.
    They include a round of classic Thin Lizzy titles: such as Nightlife (1974),
    Fighting (1975); their crowning achievement Jailbreak (1976), that include
    the Top Ten smash hit The Boys Are Back In Town; Johnny The Fox (also
    1976); Black Rose–A Legend (1979); there celebrated live recording Live
    And Dangerous (1978) and even Chinatown (1980). (Oh yes, Renegade,
    which came out in 1981, could stand to get the deluxe edition check-up,
    and I even enjoyed Vagabonds Of The Western World (1973), which was
    given the Deluxe Edition treatment. When I was checking up on a good
    number of CD’s on Amazon.com this year, I came across a set of titles
    by The Small Faces’ classic titles, as they include the highly acclaimed
    self-titled debut album which came out in 1966, as well as Small Faces
    (1967), the masterpiece Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake (1968) and There Are
    But Four Small Faces (Also 1968). In 1970, they changed their name to
    The Faces, and disbanded in 1975.
    Plus, I also read about another highly successful James Brown title that
    was given the deluxe edition treatment from Hip-O Records, which I was
    proud to download into my MP3 system. It’s called Live At The Garden,
    first released in 1967, it was given a long-awaited deluxe edition digitally
    remastered restoration it fully deserved. Then there is Diana Ross’ 1976
    self-titled crossover R&B classic, producer and jazz impressario Norman
    Granz’ all-star live extravaganza Jazz At The Hollywood Bowl (1956) and
    Boyz II Men’s highly publicized debut album Cooleyhighharmony (1991).
    And even a couple Marvin Gaye albums from the Punk Rock Era: Here,
    My Dear (1979) and In My Lifetime (1981).
    Now that I have managed to present you another list of these classic
    albums that have been remastered in their deluxe form and may have
    been overlooked by some on your website, I had decided to give you
    another set of great albums that we believe could stand to be part of
    the Deluxe Edition Series, as they include The Moody Blues’ Go Now
    (1965), the band’s debut album; and Kool And The Gang’s crowning
    achievement Wild And Peaceful (1974), which include three Top Ten
    smash hits: Hollywood Swinging, Jungle Boogie and Funky Stuff.
    And even a couple highly accomplished live jazz albums: The Benny
    Carter Jam Sessions (1953) and Tubby Hayes’ Tubbs Tours (1964),
    they too deserve to get the Deluxe Edition treatment from the UMG
    team and Hip-O Records. Well I guess I have to be on my way, so
    before I sign off, you can tell the UMG team and Hip-O about those
    other classic albums that still awaits to be part of the Deluxe Edition
    Series.

    Well, you all know that this year marks The Rolling Stones’ 50th
    Anniversary together as a mighty and perfect rock and roll band.
    And as part of their 50th Anniversary celebration, they deserve to
    have more of their greatest classic albums get the Deluxe Edtion
    treatment, so I have given you a list of other important titles that
    we believe truely deserve to be part of the growing Deluxe Edition
    series–and here they are.
    They are: the band’s groundbreaking self-titled debut album from
    1964, Out Of Our Heads (1965), Aftermath (1966), Between The
    Buttons (1967), Beggar’s Banquet (1968), Sticky Fingers (1971)
    and Tattoo You (1981). With Exile On Main Street (1972) and
    Some Girls (1978) already given the Deluxe Edition treatment, I
    would have to agree with all of you that these other masterpieces
    from The Stones should be given the deluxe edition treatment, so
    with unissued tracks, bootleg material and non-album singles all
    included, here is something else that The Rolling Stones will be
    very proud of.
    P.S.: Now that I have given you this time-honoured email letter, I
    believe their is another classic James Brown title from 1969 that
    deserve to get the Deluxe Edition treatment, and that my friends
    is Say It Loud–I’m Black, I’m Proud! Now let’s give these classic
    ablums by The Rolling Stones the deluxe satisfaction they really
    deserve!

    Is anyone in the mood for a good laugh from the past? Well, I just happen to
    have several classic stand-up comedy albums that we truly believe deserves
    to part of the Deluxe Edition Series. They are Woody Allen: Standup Comic
    from 1979 (which was recorded live at a club in New York City’s Greenwich
    Village in 1963). My father told me it was the funniest album he ever heard
    in his life. Another one made by Robin Williams titled Throbbing Python Of
    Love, which came out in 1983 and can be included alongside his acclaimed
    live performance he gave at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall in
    1982 in ‘audio form’. You can also check on Reality…What A Concept from
    1979 to see if it needs to get the Deluxe Edition treatment. Now that I had
    given you this special list, I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas
    and a Happy New Year.
