i like what a lot of other groups have been doing:

pet shop boys - re-released albums + extra disc of tracks
abc - re-released albums+extra tracks
big country - re-released albums+extra tracks
echo and the bunnymen - re-released albums + extra tracks
simple minds - remastered albums-digipack/
some albums remastered for SACD/DVD-A

duran duran - remastered albums digipack

and more recently , 'the cure' -
re-released all the albums + extra disc of tracks

talking heads - massive box set, with all the
albums remastered + 5.1 surround sound versions of
albums + extra unreleased tracks

that would be the first step,
just to remaster the albums, and perhaps put some
extra tracks on them..if they were generous they
could use an extra disc....

of course like you said the label would have
to be behind it...i wonder if a box set (or
several of them) could be done for the
'pet shop boys'...i know they have a
large audience, but aren't they on the
'london' label also? i think there was a
box set for madonna that was huge,
(i think it was only the single versions
without remixes)...but i'm sure there
was an audience for it..

i also think there is a better market
for these specialty collections in asia,
and then europe and the US, so there
might be a better chance of it happening
in other countries..
