Hi All
For those that are interested, Riffs and Heavy Traffic will be re-issued in a 2CD and 3CD set this September.
Resident Music have just tweeted this out on their account. I'm not able to post the link here, but if you search the Resident Music site you'll find the listings!

The track listing on Heavy Traffic in particular is interesting. Those live tracks are new and give us live versions of Solid Gold, All Stand Up and Heavy Traffic. Nice one 👍
The demos are presumably those on the This & That CD.
I think we already have all of the material on the Riffs re-issue.
Can I make the assumption that these have not been remastered? Anyone?

Anyone? All remastered. There were meant to be a tone more demos and a particular tour drone 👀 but they were dropped

Is the heavy traffic album remixed or remastered or will we still have the pleasure of hearing Matt playing buckets and biscuit tin lids?

Both could have been remixed, had there been the budget for it as both albums have unreleased tracks that only exist on the multitracks - but there wasn't the budget for it.

Mixed feelings. Some really good extras on HT but this release basically ends the hope of a remix 😔

A remaster of Heavy Traffic is very welcome. It needed it. There have been cries for a remaster for some time.
No vinyl releases, which is somewhat out of step with the rest of the world. A vinyl version of Heavy Traffic on RSD for it's 20th anniversary would have been nice. No doubt budgets played a part in that as well.
But can't complain too much. This is all very unexpected for some of us.
👍

Luke and Andy did their best but after all l’m a bit disappointed. What a lost opportunity for Heavy Traffic! How comes that bands like marillion can release deluxe editions with 3 CDs and 1 BlueRay in very expensive artworks? Maybe the band and their management put more heart and soul in it to please their fans. The budget from the label must be the same… what’s with crowdfunding?
