  1. That really shouldn’t be possible, Steven! One would expect a professional company to produce a few more in order to be safe. Did you try to contact Paul himself already? Sometimes artists have an extra box to distribute to whomever they want.

  2. Just had Pledge Music email saying they can’t fulfill my Paul Draper 3cd edition of Spooky Action as it was oversold, refund only offered, now sold out everywhere else. They are so unreliable, anyone else had this?

  3. Paul Draper’s album is great!
    However, I noticed that all Mansun albums except for the Legacy compilation have disappeared from Spotify. Could that mean that they will soon be reissued?

  4. It seems to me that both the Steve Howe and the Blackmore’s Night editions have a well-balanced list of songs which should make them interesting for the more casual listener but also for the diehards who will already have most if not all of their previous releases.

  5. I will buy anything Richard Thompson puts out. I can’t think of a guitarist, living or dead, whose playing I wish mine could resemble more than his.

    I wonder if the Tubes albums in that set will be full releases with liner notes etc., or just simple disc-in-cardboard-sleeve things like so many of these multi-album sets seem to be these days.

    1. I think they’re just disc-in-cardboard, but – according to the Amazon ‘blurb’ – there’ll also be a booklet with notes and photos. For the price they’re asking (£24) I expect some decent packaging. I think I’ll wait for a price-drop.

  9. Bought that New Radicals album in a little CD store under the Holiday Inn in Whistler, BC. Bought a few CDs that day because all the adverts on the radio stations were doing my nut in. I can’t remember the other CDs now, but that one sticks out because it was so good and ended up on heavy rotation in the car.

    1. I love this album too! I bought it the day it came out and have lost count how many times I’ve played it! I still listen to it, about once a month nowadays! I will definitely be buying this vinyl!!

      1. The biggest reason I held onto the New Radicals record was because I had been following Gregg Alexander’s career (and his partner and former child actress Danielle Brisebois…All In The Family and more) since the beginning of the 90s…and the New Radicals record was their joint project after they both left Epic Records…it is a great record, no question…

  12. Also coming next month from cherry red is a remastered & expanded version of Beyond Utopia from Bodast feat. Steve Howe. This was recorded in 1969 but did not get a release at the time. Also includes 3 bonus tracks from when the group were known as Canto.

    As well as this is John Hackett’s new solo album we are not alone- 2 cd deluxe edition will be available

    1. Stick with the previous CD release of the “Bodast” recordings(“Spectral Nether Street” on the RPM label), because the forthcoming “Esoteric” label edition has 3 songs less than the RPM version. Why would anyone buy the “Esoteric” disc?

  14. Also out on Friday is the 4LP+3″CD limited “Recombo DNA” box set by Devo.
    It’s available in 3 different coloured vinyl options (Emergency Codes, Molecular Mutation or Petri Dish).

    Amazon do have it listed but don’t seem to give you a choice.
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0731J61Z5

    Norman’s Records have all 3 options and have a vinyl price match and offer few e shipping over £50 (in U.K.) so it should be as good a deal as Amazon plus you’ll have confidence in getting the version you want rather than pot luck.

    1. You can use Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) from amazon.de to choose your preferred version, just put the code in the search box of amazon uk or other amazon site.
      Double check when you have it in the basket for correct code.
