Heartland

Gimme, gimme, gimme anything before and after midnight.

and I still hate abba

the sisters wrote the tracks. So even if WEA is corporate bollocks, andy and the rest still receive a bit for their work if it's sold.

So how is it that no one can describe or upload SKOS (early) yet? Come on people... someone claimed to know some DJ friend who has a copy of the reissue... Get on it! For the common good...

First post - previously content to wait in the wings until someone asked the question I had or I forgot what point I wanted to make...
I was just wondering what is the bag in relation to the rights/owner ship of demo's?,
Presumably they belong to the record company who paid out studio time? If that's the case, why haven't they lobbed a load more on to the re-issues? Only SKOS & (possible) Neverland, is a bit of a swizzle...
If you look at the recent adam ant reissues or even the Pyschedelic Furs - indeed almost anyone else - there has usually been more than just a few b-side to pad it out...
Or does Von own the rights and obviously not about to play ball with Bugs and the boys...

It might depend on what the settlement terms were when the band left WEA and then the whole SSV thing. There might have been all kinds of caveats. Being the corporate bollock merchants WEA are, whats to stop them from withholding royalties again? They are not the only label to screw their artists out of royalties. If they did, could von afford another legal battle if he didn't get paid?

I wonder how much royalties Patricia Morrison would get from Floodland?

I wondered about this as well.

The only way she will get any money from the sale of this is to get a job in HMV

I doubt her thighs would fit through the door now!

Indeed, he left a message on my myspace saying he'd just received them. I'll drop him a line and see if he's up for sharing. If not, I guess we'll just have to wait a whole week!

Says you who was around and aware when they were first released and are quite obviously not the target market.

Well, I was there early nineties so I had to go and search for the early stuuf and demos myself as well. Which was fun!
But I was really refering to our beloved Weeding & Sharing sections, which hold all the material on these discs (again, apart from SKOS and possibly Neverland (long version)) and are available for all HL'ers.

To be fair, we don't want trouble from the RIAA, so official releases are a no-no for weeding/sharing.

What people do in the privacy of private messages is totally uncontrollable by the moderating staff though.

Oh yeah.. just wanted to let you swedish people out there to know that http://www.megastore.se are selling those three albums for 89 sek each(£6.40/€9.3). Seems like they are released in Sweden as well then. Hurrah.

Still no news in the lowlands about the re releases...

There are promos for each of the albums out there. Full length CDR with printing on CD and white printed covers, text only.
I have been promised them for thursday at the latest. the guy who is sending them to me got them from his sony/bmg/wea rep. I'll post pic's of all three, when i hopefully get them. No other special promos according to the rep.
I'll also be getting the releases, the first official thing in donkeys years. Celebrations all round.

Matt..

Nothing in France either.

Funny enough, the Rhino site is totally silent on the subject too. I guess the existence of promos, DJ copies and the like does confirm that it's for real though.

Here's an interesting one. The previously posted link ( http://www.7digital.com/stores/productD ... sid=502608 ) gives a total running time of just over 79 mins. Now, I've just roughly totted up the times for the tracks that we do have times for, and gotten just over 67 mins. There's one track left that we don't have a time for, so I guess that means that said one track clocks in at about 12 mins.

Barman Blast will be happy.

I must say the remasters DO sound better

The 'original' cd sound quality, compared to the 'remastered' cd sound quality, sounded better on my cheap system. would be interesting to hear on a expensive set up, especially floodland.

have you got the newly reissued albums, or are you referring to '92s remastered falaa?

newly reissued albums, the 92 re-master was awfull, I ended up recording my vinyl and making a cdr.

so what is skkos (early) then?

I dont want to spoil the surprise, its worth it though!
