The first 4 vinyl albums re-released on Nov,17, 2014

where?

Wow Velociraptor! is so expensive. I wonder whether people are aware that the first batch was misprinted and whether there is a price difference?

That's mental, price wise.

I think I got that same West Ryder/iffy Fast Fuse deal from whatever that website was again, Highroyds.

I bought Kasabian and Empire around that time too. My copy of the debut's a little tattered but I always missed it's delivery whilst moving flats, so it's a survivor. Velociraptor! and 48:13 came on release day too.

Empire is maybe the best looking vinyl. If I recall, the lettering is nice and slightly raised. I always wanted that Empire boxset for the three singles.

As for re-releases, I don't think I'll bother, unless they've got anything new on them. I would imagine they'd have been touted a bit more if they did, but Japan and Germany got the details jump on 48:13 too, so...

I know some bands have phantom song titles, and holy grails, but Kasabian have always been quite efficient with their songwriting (that we know of). I'm positive I read that Serge literally wrote Velociraptor!, Pistols at Dawn and Narcotic Farm, and there absolutely nothing else to release.

I'd say a recorded version of 55 would be amazing. That's all I can think of beside a proper copy of Stuntman 2005 (Call it "The Stuntman", like back in the day!) and perhaps some 2005 demos of Empire, Shoot the Runner etc.

An extra double sided b-sides record to people to pre-order all four would be a nice touch, but maybe I shouldn't give them ideas.

Reminds me. I still haven't got a physical copy of Narcotic Farm...

Is the Italian EP cheap these days?

I vote for studio version of 55 (maybe it'll make me really love that song finally), all the b-sides, Brixton 2004, an Empire era live recording, the version of Take Aim that was going to be on the Fast Fuse EP, and any other studio outtakes, rough mixes and drum tracks they feel like including. *dreams on*.  Like highroyds was saying, the way Zeppelin did was the best, with new artwork, pics and tonnes of unreleased stuff. It's not even phantom songs, it's mainly the songs we know, but just live versions and various mixes.
Having said all this, if they have a paradise number, I'll end up buying them.

There is a reference to the labels not matching the song titles on the Discogs entry page, so the information is out there.

Does anyone here own the first pressing (the misprinted one)?  I must admit I have one, was quite fortunate to grab one, one of my local record stores had only one copy and I managed to grab all those years ago.

Back to the re-issues.

Unless there's something considerably different with them, I've not really got a reason to buy them again, the one's i've got are all in excellent condition, still sound and look great.
