Stumbled across this on banquet. Reissues by MOV:

Hope is important is Idlewild's debut album recorded in 1998, the first full length release filled with distortion, Roddy Woomble's screeching vocals and utter chaos. This transitional album marks the beginnings of boys becoming men. A raw emo-punk album full of energy, laying out the path this band is going to go on in the future.

100 broken Windows is raw, rough edged punk yet traditional in lyrics with tight raging tracks. These 4 Scots neglected everything that was happening in the music business at the time and went down their own path, producing intense rock songs about growing up in the working class inspired by the greats from late 80s and early 90s such as Nirvana and REM, Sonic Youth and The Pixies. 

This album definitely deserves a prominent place in any discerning music-lover's collection. 

 

 

Also, they are doing two gigs in Glasgow for the 15th anniversary of The Remote Part (no word of vinyl reissue though)

Have OG presses of both of these but hopefully this leads to a vinyl pressing of Warnings/Promises. Hell, maybe even Captain

I've had my eye on the OG pressings for a while but I'll just pick up the MOV reissues.

 

Captain would be sweet and I would definitely pick up The Remote Part if it was reissued and Warnings/Promises.

I'm assuming it'll be available in record stores. Hope so as I didn't pre-order.

It's on the exclusives page and the only press coverage I found says it's an exclusive, so I'm assuming it's not going to be available elsewhere. Sold out a lot quicker than I expected. It's not part of the Idlewild era (100 Broken Windows to Make Another World) that I care for, so didn't get a copy myself.

Well that sucks, trying to support my local store more these days so was holding off.
