Well, in my opinion 'Cavaliers' is one of the best things they've done: 
 nice collage effect, good singing, good guitar playing, interesting 
lyrics.  Good stuff.  And surely it's well enough recorded.  Not sure 
about the second disc there, though, which is a bit sketchy.  Isn't it?
"Cavaliers' itself though, as I say, is ace.  I love that kind of 
linking of material, and the last track is really very beautiful.
Saw the Blue Aeroplanes with the Larder sisters in some pub near the 
docks some years ago and the material was definitely different from the 
more recent greatest hits packages.  I also quite liked the anti-pretty 
stage presence.
Although I know nothing about releasing material and record companies, 
I do know that CDs themselves are very cheap and that 'burning' them 
can be done in short, sharp bursts.  Gone are the days of 'masters' and 
disc-cutting.  Therefore I really don't understand why an outfit like 
the BAs can't produce an edition of maybe a thousand themselves (I mean 
1000 CDs at 30p each (plus copying) is surely a sound investment when 
you can sell them for £12).  Am I missing something here?  Is there 
some huge recording debt that someone wants cleared?
Surely  the quick sales of so many CDs by the band themselves might 
prompt a small label to go for it.  I don't know.  It just seems odd 
that you make an album and then don't let anyone hear it.  That is odd, 
isn't it?
