That's too bad. I would have liked to see some extra stuff added.

Well if it's as unimpressive as the TIC reissue it's better to leave the job to someone new... in 10 or 15 years. The stones are really not that good at supervising archive reissues.
They need an outsider looking in (the rows of multitrack boxes).
One eaxy obvious option would be to add the 1992-12-18 London show which does exist as a multitrack tape. But I'm sure even that won't see the light.

Well, noone can blame ABKCO for the lack of effort going into this reissue.

Enough of this bullshit!
What I really need are official releases of the Toronto 1977 session, Longview Farm 1981 and other solo recordings, My First Plea and Little T & A (early take as released on the Jam bootleg) - stuff like that in perfect quality.

The vinyl is rare. But consider the fact the new record will be digital sourced. So those of us that have the original still own something special.

This album has never been out on vinyl, has it?

The producer of these reissues is a regular here. He would have loved to have released "Breakin'" and "She Knew What She Wanted" as well as the alternate versions of TALK IS CHEAP. He didn't get clearance to go beyond a certain running time and the half a dozen tracks he was able to include. He is a fan and would have wanted to give fans everything, but artists, labels, and management all have input that outweighs a reissue producer.

Hi Dandy. Of course I can't 100% know they wouldn't do an all analog issue, but I seriously doubt that. Are you saying CH is all analog? The reason I ask is because I heard it's much easier and cheaper to transfer using digital files. I've got a friend that visited the record plant in the Czech Republic where he learned almost nothing is analog on today's pressings. Plus most of them come from that plant. Also, I've heard USA pressings are the best. Do you have any insight on the subject?

I don't know, and you may very well be right. I remember Keith insisting on recording CH on tape from the Keith-docu, though.

Keith still bears a grudge it seems. Mr. Drayton is fortunate there are no band photos to airbrush him out of. The fate of bass players who quit a band.

I've never been able to figure out what happened.
