57th week of Cadiz promising via their e-mailout that, "We're working on it... we really are" and they have FINALLY managed to put the apostrophe in the correct place. Does that count as progress?

Let’s hope the apostrophe is progress as I’ve just got an iTunes voucher for my birthday!

Anyone else notice Cadiz have dropped this from their update emails now?! Ah well…

This was always basically a joke. Besides, once they tour again they'll be even less time to "work" on it...

I enquired with Cadiz after posting that, and they have told me it’s definitely still happening, they are still just waiting on AE pulling his finger out.

Since Von hasn't pulled his finger out in the last thirty years I think it's unlikely to be "definitely still happening"

He's hand carving the stamper - attention to detail

according to certain sources 'da ickle baby cheeses'' second coming will be happening any day now.......just as soon as he manages the first coming....ahh! gorgonzola!!!

Any one sent any messages to Cadiz showing them the BBC sessions release!

I just realized this thread started in September 2019...! Not even the excessive downtime during a global pandemic can generate a Gift reissue,,,

It's never going to happen is it?

No way. I'm not a gambler, but I would bet on this one. Would love to see it happen, but I can't possibly see what could motivate Eldritch to spend time on this.

I reckon they'll eventually release it (2022/2023?) but as the standard album we all know without any extras.

there simply isnt anything extra to add is there ? the other 2 versions of Giving Ground. some other unfinished demos maybe....a new reissue would be a good thing for those who havent got it and dont want to pay a fortune for a copy. both my vinyl copies would be happier if there was heavy gm copy new off the presses.

What's the last "official" product (re-issue, vinyl or CD or whatever) that AE was involved in? Hard to believe he'd get out of bed to make a deluxo Gift release. I COULD see a lazy, limited release of the original five tracks, no extras. Just putting it back in print for a while. But don't bet on it.

Well, the full length Never Land and that very early version of Some Kind Of Stranger came totally out of the blue, so we really don't know what else exists.

IIRC didn't Eldritch say that the record company had bodged "Never Land - Full Length" together themselves out of bits of outtakes?

I think he said "one song" had been so compiled, and we've since assumed it was Never Land on the basis that it couldn't really be anything else.

They did a good job. I like it.

Could it be Long Train?

Hahahahahaha

Ha

Could it be the long version of This Corrosion, since there are so many versions.

Me too; it's replaced the 'fragment' on my audio server's copy of Floodland.

I'm sure he was talking about one of the previously unreleased tracks on the rerelease CDs a few years ago - the set in which it was originally labelled "Visioin Thing". So it's either the full-length Never Land or the early version of SKOS.
