album Dannii Minogue - Girl 25

[Pop Music Aussie]

The Queen Of Nightclubs 

 

Released Today On Box Set And Vinyl

 

 

Originally released in September 1997 on Eternal Records and includes writing and production work from Ian Masterson and David Green, Xenomania (Matt Gray, Brian Higgins, Stuart McLennan, Tim Powell), Metro (Paul Barry, Graham Stack, Mark Taylor, Steve Torch) and DNA (Nick Batt, Neal Slateford).

CD1 presents the original ‘Girl’ album plus five bonus tracks in a gatefold card wallet, a mini CD replica of the Special Edition LP format. The bonuses include ‘Someone New’, originally issued only in Japan, the out-take ‘Keep Up with the Good Times’, and the original hidden CD bonus track, ‘Coconut’, plus two 12” mixes of the album cut ‘Movin’ Up’, one of which is the previously unheard original 1996 mix.

The three bonus discs are each packaged in beautifully designed bespoke card wallets. Inspired by the original promotional and commercial single release artworks, each disc focuses on the album’s three main A-sides.

CD2 is dedicated to the ‘All I Wanna Do’ single and comes packed to capacity with a host of classic club remixes by Trouser Enthusiasts, Xenomania, D-Bop, Sharp, Qattara and Dizzy. One selection here appears on CD for the first time.

CD3 brings together the remix packages for ‘Everything I Wanted’ and the promo-only single, ‘Heaven Can Wait’, with credits for D-Bop, Xenomania, Trouser Enthusiasts, Metro and Jupiter 6. Two ‘Heaven Can Wait’ mixes make their CD debut here, whilst a third appears on CD in the UK for the first time, having only featured previously on the rare Australian single release of ‘Coconut’ in 1998.

Finally, on CD4, we have ten club, dub and promo-only re-works of the album’s third and final UK single release, ‘Disremembrance’. Flexifinger and Twyce As Nyce remixes feature here, alongside more from Xenomania, D-Bop, Trouser Enthusiasts and Sharp. Two of these appear on CD for the first time, whilst one rare edit was previously promo-only.

The 24 page booklet features a new essay by Quentin Harrison, for which Dannii was recently interviewed, plus a selection of rare photographs, full album lyrics and a note from Dannii herself.

This album is SO GOOD. Dannii was giving us dance music perfection while Kylie delivered her Indie masterpiece. Love them both.

I imagine it will be.. at some point. She released Neon Nights 20 on streaming. 
 

Was hoping for some outtakes or even some recordings from the Girl tour (if they exist).
 

This album is immaculate.

Fingers crossed... But his release is handled by Cherry Tree records and I recall them doing a massive reissue campaign of Kylie's PWL albums with boxsets that contained all bsides and remixes of each era but they never made it to the streaming. At least the 2007 reissue with rare tracks like Keep Up With The Good Times is decent enough

They also handled Debbie Gibsons expanded version which made it on to streaming so fingers crossed. 
 

I’m not really one to listen to remixes often anyway but I still want to have them on streaming as I do listen from time to time. 
 

but yeah, Keep Up With the Good Times and Someone New are the only tracks from the 2007 reissue that I regularly listen to.
