I think, is it fair to say 'Your Disco Needs You' is actually more well-known these days above 'Please Stay' despite not being a single?

Easily the most known of the two songs and preferred.

This, everyone seems to know it due to its status of camp classic, it being known as the single that never was and Kylie still performs it regularly.

It has made numerous tours which has helped it greatly whereas please doesnt get performed anymore.

2000 is as long ago now as 1976 was back then :cry:

Thanks for that :drama: :lol:

Don't care how many years pass as it will never change the fact that light years is a brilliant album and was exactly what was needed at the time to revive kylies career.

Kylie strongly needs to consider a reissue of this album for it's 25th anniversary with a double cd release.

Im always for anything light years and would be a yes to a new version, i still think Kylie has a few missed opportunities not re releasing albums and adding songs that were left off, the fans want it so hopefully its something she can tap into with previous labels she was on.

I’d love a proper re-release, I have the Sainsbury’s one but that was hardly worth doing, limited to 2.5k and sold out on day 1 of release.

2024 CD re-issue has appeared on the Australian Warner site - guessing it might be another card sleeve?!

I find it curious that Parlophone have focused on steadily reissuing her albums on card gatefold CDs, without fanfare. I'm wondering if there's really much of a market for this, to have justified going to the trouble? Of course there'll be fans who are happy to buy a new variant, but if they're aiming for casual sales, will those be achieved? CDs are quite niche these days, so quietly issuing these old albums seems like an odd tactic to me.

 

The clear elephant in the room being that they're not reissuing vinyl! Light Years is overdue a repress. It's now 6 and a half years(!) since its vinyl release. The way it was handled is a bit bizarre to look back on really - UK only, exclusive to a supermarket, on sale for basically just one day.

^^ Certaintly an odd move, the Australian Warner site has now updated to include all the card sleeve re-issues so far.

 

It’s also bizarre they have given them a staggered release rather than just dropping all the card sleeve re-issues at once? Like you say there is (limited) demand for them from fans and collectors but outside of that can’t see there is a market for a full price CD In a card sleeve with no bonus content when the originals can be picked up for next to nothing on eBay, music magpie etc

Im not a card sleeve fan myself, some fans might pick them up for collection purposes but i would think if casuals are buying a kylie album it would be a greatest hits rather than a studio album.

Are they not being released in Auatralia to coincide with the ARIAs?

Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of "Spinning Around", the start of the "Light Years" era. Time flies ever so fast!

What a magical time it was. I have such great memories especially that week spinning around returned her to number 1.

I loved light years on first listen and 25 years on I feel the same.

Still the best Kylie album.

On a Night Like This

Disco Down

Your Disco

Please Stay

Butterfly

Light Years

All being the stand out tracks.

Saw her at Essential in Manchester as part of the launch campaign. It was so exciting and she won back many of the fans that abandoned her during the Deconstruction era.
