REACTOR present the long out of print albums by Loop remastered from the original analogue sources. These two releases will be released on the same day, scheduled October 08 release. They will be housed in a Mini Vinyl style card sleeve, which reproduce the original artwork which has been slightly modified to fit the gatefold format and including inner bags for both discs. All due care has been taken to release everything that is available to us in some chronological order, sadly a couple of tapes have been too badly damaged or lost to make a complete edition, but these will be the definitive editions...there won't be any 'special editions' to rip you off with, that's a promise. As for vinyl, it is planned to do a limited run of 180g pressings, but these will only be repros of the original lps without the bonus material. The bonus material will only be available on the Compact Disc issues and not for digital downloads, mainly because of the costs of having to pay ungodly rates on the Peel Sessions. So, the Compact Disc issues will be unique in their own right.
07.07.08. Loop reissues
Dear All,
The Loop reissue program has finally found it's feet and there will new remastered versions of Heaven's End, Fade Out, The World In Your Eyes out on REACTOR in late 2008.
All of these have been commercially unavailable since 1991 on any format.
Initially, only cd versions will be available, but if there is enough interest, then vinyl will be considered.
All releases will be housed in a deluxe sleeve and include a booklet.
For Heaven's End and Fade Out : Each package will be 2xcds and include on CD1 remastered versions of the original LPs - direct from the original analogue masters. CD2 will include the relative John Peel Session and rare archive material from the era. There is not a great wealth of outtakes or different versions but we will strive to get everything we can find that warrants inclusion, all remastered from the original sources.
The World In Your Eyes : Will now be known as The World In Your Eyes Vols. I & II. These are of course compilations of all the original 12" vinyl singles originally released on HEAD and CHAPTER 22, plus compilation tracks and rare archive material.
To avoid confusion, the original Chapter 22 compilation of singles called "Eternal", which was issued against the wishes of Loop at the time, then reissued as "Dual" on Reactor in the 90's is now called The World In Your Eyes Vol. II.
Heaven's End will be the first release, just in time for it's 21st Anniversary in 2008. Fade Out and The World In Your Eyes Vols. I & II will follow shortly after.
That's all we can say for now...

10.03.08. Loop reissue update
Greetings all,
Just to clear up some queries regarding the Loop re-issue program. The following original releases hopefully to be re-issued: Heaven's End, Fade Out and both singles compilations The World In Your Eyes and Dual (AKA Eternal - the one we don't talk about). I do hope that all releases will be remastered from all possible original sources - i.e. the tapes are in good shape or can be saved, and will include as much extra material that is available. There's not a wealth of outtakes or unreleased material, we never had the studio time for that, but a few that got away will be rounded up - the Good Feeling compilation version of Spinning for example. The rights to the Beggar's Banquet material will not revert back for some considerable time, but maybe we'll work something out... For the time being, the best will be done on what is owned.
There is still no concrete evidence yet on all of this - you'll be the first to know when something happens.
For sure, there will definitely be a 21st Anniversary edition of Heaven's End even if I have to stick it on a wax cylinder.
Best
R.

02.01.08. Loop reissues (non-update)
I have not received any word from Robert about the status of the Loop reissues in quite some time. As soon as I know something more, I'll post it here. The 20th anniversary of 'Heaven's End was last June or July I beleive. One thing I can tell you is that these reissues will not include lyrics. Here is what Robert told me:
...I've always regarded lyrics/ vocals as a equal part to the music...an instrument that's no more or less important to the rest. As with Main, I also like puzzles/mystery in the work, so I always thought it's for others to try and work them out, see what they find.
31.10.06. Loop reissues
I'd like to announce, after much pleading, badgering, coercement etc. from many (THANK YOU!), that I am finally putting the wheels into motion on a LOOP Reissue programme. No formal plans have been made as yet, it is very, very, very early days and it may take some time, but the intent is there after all this time. Seeing that 2007 will mark the 20th Anniversary of the release of HEAVEN'S END, I feel I have no excuses left to leave the material out of print. Hopefully, a full and extensive remastering process will be involved, but that's all I can say right at this moment. I will certainly keep you all up to date with further postings...
