Yep, just four at the moment - Heaven or Las Vegas and Blue Bell Knoll will stay as they are, at full price. However, Garlands, Head Over Heels, Victorialand and Treasure will all be reissued, remastered, in the UK only (US to follow later in the year) on February 10th" Jo, 4AD

The REMASTERS have been released.

February 10th UK
February 11th Canada
June 3rd USA

All four albums have been give a GAD prefix, they each have new 'foil overlay' artwork (enhancing the graphics of the original designs), the disc artwork is new (and completely different from the original releases) for each disc as well. The Garlands release contains a misprint, on the sleeve the track "Blood Bitch" reads "Blood Bath". As this is sure to become another collector's item, snatch them up while you can. You can buy direct from 4AD for £8.00 plus shipping.

Image scans of the new remastered sleeves are shown below along with their original release counterparts:
