hi Kajamaniac's 
here's an article I found on a Dance site called the Raft about Kajagoogoo's re- releases of their back catalogue:
www.dancesite.com/news2004
"Kajagoogoo Refreshed and Rereleased"
Three classic albums from the ‘80s heroes remastered
Back in 1983 Kajagoogoo proved themselves worthy contenders to the likes of Duran Duran with a handful of hit singles, the first ‘Too Shy’ was a hit on both sides of the Pond and produced by Nick Rhodes.
The album, White Feathers followed the same year though soon after Limahl, the pretty boy lead singer left for a solo career.
Under the new frontmanship of Nick Beggs, fellow Kajas Stuart Crawford and Steve Askew continued with the synth and dance pop sound, producing the album Islands. Soon after they shortened their name to Kaja and launched a third album, Crazy People’s Right To Speak, produced by the legendary Ken Scott. They disbanded soon afterwards due to the pressures of touring.
However, interest has since been reignited this year with VH1’s Bands Reunited show which has led to a gig in London’s Scala and one-off shows in the US.
It’s timely then that all three albums will be re-released on 2nd August, each with additional tracks and remixes.
There couldn’t be a better time to re/discover exactly what Kajagoogoo were all about.
Kajagoogoo NOW in 2003 and THEN in 1983
keep checkin' KAJAMANIA.. the BEST info and news on KAJAGOOGOO & LIMAHL on the NET!
thanks...
peace & love
