What prospect of anything else ever being released?
Permalink  
 


OK, after all these years of waiting, the albums are all on CD (and the Best of) and the promos are on on DVD along with a couple of gigs.


Is that it?


I suspect there will be nothing from Phonogram, but given Eagle records ability to put out previously unissued live releases from the likes of The Alarm, The Beach Boys, Cat Stevens, Deep Purple, Johnny Cash and Gary Numan, what chance a Geldof/Rats Live CD of previously unreleased gems.  Live at the Rainbow 1979 anyone?

Well I did say before we've had the best of so we should now have the rest of. A few live albums wouldn't go amiss. But what are their chances of selling? Obviously us diehards bought the Best of and the back catalogues, and I'm sure old fans bought it for nostalgia. But the rest? It would surely only be bought by diehard and is there really enough of us to make it worthwhile producing?

I'd like to think the answer was yes, but somehow doubt it. Shame...

 A few albums would be strecthing it, but a bargain bin CD (the stuff they have @ HMV 5 for £20 or £4.99 each) would probably shift units.


In recent years, quite a number of acts have had their BBC sessions released on CD.  I know that some of the tracks from the sessions have appeared (the b-sides of Crazy) and Neon Heart.  Add in Don't Believe What You Hear, and you'd have a pretty good CD.

Anyone have any contacts at the BBC or Strange Fruit?  An unreleased Peel session and Don't Believe What You Hear must be worth a release.  Not to mention all those other live concerts they have.  It would be great to have access to their archives.  That's the sort of download I would pay for.
