The last few vinyl reissues of grateful dead on amazon have said Unassigned label but when they arrive there always rhino earners records
Rhino warners I mean
Rhino look likely favourites to be releasing this compilation as they produced the same release on CD in 2002 along with Warner Music.
21 singles are included and in many cases these versions are different/shorter than the album versions ie, the single version of “Happy When It Rains” shaves off a glorious 30 seconds of the classic, the single for “April Skies” slices off almost a minute.
This really is turning into the second half of the eighties / early nineties in reverse. Not on this release obviously, but there must be people who’ve gone full circle on the vinyl / CD / CD SDE / vinyl / coloured vinyl merry-go-round with some releases.
Paul, do you know what label is releasing this? Amazon says the label is “UNASSIGNED”.
Not sure to be honest. Do Warners still own the rights? Either way, it’s being supported by the band, so that’s good news.
Hopefully it’s put out by Warners/Rhino.
Surprised you never announced the Peter Murphy box set Paul. It looks great. Coming out in June.
pre-ordered. Bargain price.
Always dug this collection… What’s not to love?? Great selection. The JAMC are a perfect singles band, so this is both a perfect primer and car disc…and on 2LP is a cool piece too. Black vinyl is fine…clear would be cooler tho. What I love also is the artwork with various mock “Greatest Hits” covers…my fave is the one that says “Greatest Fucking Hits”… Haha!! JAMC Rock!!
A very, very cool album to have on vinyl. Good news.
