All Systems Go...

Heavens! I'm still jumping up and down with excitement over the upcoming Diana Ross re-issues - and then I find out that the Donna Summer albums from the 80s are also getting the expanded treatment!

Demon Music Group has acquired the rights to re-releasing all of Donna Summer's studio catalog, post-Casablanca years. That means from her Geffen debut of The Wanderer through to Mistaken Identity (but probably excluding She Works Hard For The Money, since that album was released on Casablanca).

Another Place and Time is scheduled to be the first to be released. It will most likely be a 2 CD set and could include:

This Time I Know It's For Real (Extended Version) 7:22

This Time I Know It's For Real (Instrumental) 3:34

I Don't Wanna Get Hurt (7" Remix) 3:32

I Don't Wanna Get Hurt (Instrumental) 4:45

I Don't Wanna Get Hurt (Extended Version) 6:59

Love's About To Change My Heart (Edit) 3:45

Love's About To Change My Heart (Extended Remix) 6:21

Love's About To Change My Heart (Instrumental) 5:14

Love's About To Change My Heart (Clivilles & Cole 7" Mix) 4:21

Love's About To Change My Heart (Clivilles & Cole 12" Mix) 7:40

Love's About To Change My Heart (Dub 2) 7:10

Love's About To Change My Heart (PWL 7" Mix) 3:45 (I'm sure I read somewhere that the ending of this is different to the 'Edit')

Love's About To Change My Heart (PWL 12" Mix) 6:21 (this might be the same as the 'Extended Remix')

Love's About To Change My Heart (12" Version) 6:51 (this time is on the Japanese 12" Ers CD, but it may be incorrect)

When Love Takes Over You (Remix) 3:35

When Love Takes Over You (Extended Remix) 6:15

When Love Takes Over You (Instrumental) 3:37

Breakaway (The Extended Power Mix) 6:08

Breakaway (The Power Radio Mix) 4:02

Breakaway (Remix) (Edit) 3:37

Breakaway (Remix) (Full Version) 6:45

(note: just speculations, these are all official mixes from this album).

All Systems Go will most likely be the second one, including four songs that were left of the album as well as extended versions etc. Now, nothing has been officially announced yet - but it looks like fans can expect 2CD releases for all/most of the albums, along with a possible DVD...

Diana Ross AND Donna Summer reissues of their hard to get albums - all expanded? Christmas is coming early in the Galaxy this year!

These are the albums that should be included in the deal:

(Reports differ on Mistaken Identity and I'm A Rainbow - time will tell, but yes please!)
