Dollar / Ultimate Dollar 7-disc box
![Ultimate Dollar / box set](https://superdeluxeedition.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/ultimate_dollar.jpg)
6CD+DVD box set • Remastered • New ‘vintage’ remixes
A new box set Ultimate Dollar offers albums, rarities and videos from early 80s pop duo Dollar.
David Van Day and Thereza Bazar enjoyed a string of hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s including ‘Love’s Gotta Hold on Me’ and the Trevor Horn-produced ‘Mirror Mirror (Mon Amour)’. They released three albums between 1979 and 1982 (not including Carrere rehash The Very Best of Dollar) and after splitting in 1983, returned for a few more singles (including top ten hit ‘Oh L’Amour’) before calling it a day once more.
Ultimate Dollar brings all these together – and more – across six CDs and one DVD. Each album (Shooting Stars, The Paris Collection and The Dollar Album) has been remastered (from the original tapes) and expanded, with The Dollar Album filling two CDs.
Bonus material includes remixes, instrumentals, demos and specially commissioned 2019 ‘vintage’ extended mixes 12-inch mixes of ‘Mirror Mirror’, ‘Give Me Back My Heart’, ‘Hand Held In Black And White’, ‘Videotheque’, ‘Give Me Some Kinda Magic’ and ‘Love’s Gotta Hold On Me’. These have been created from the original multi-tracks and are done in very much in the style of 80s extended remixes.
Disc five sees their two Arista Records singles (an album never materialised) on CD for the first time (there are lots of remixes) whilst the final CD covers the London Records era of ‘O L’amour’ and ‘It’s Nature’s Way (No Problem)’. The former was a cover of the Erasure single which reached number seven in the charts. Again, loads of remixes as well as a newly discovered track ‘Tell Me You Love Me’ from 1988.
The DVD features “every promo video made” and a selection of Top of The Pops appearances.
This package has been overseen by Thereza Bazar and the big booklet features an introduction with comments from Thereza and David. There’s also a track-by-track commentary from Thereza and others involved in the releases, as well as photos, detailed liner notes on each disc, and complete lyrics.
At the same time as this box, a new 2CD Dollar Greatest Hits will be released which is comprehensive in as much that it includes the all the singles and the new track and adds a bonus disc of remixes. Finally, a gold-coloured vinyl pressing of first album Shooting Stars will also be released. The audio is remastered and this is back on vinyl for the first time since 1979.
The Ultimate Dollar box set, the 2CD greatest hits and the gold vinyl will be issued on 29 November 2019.
