RE: Swagger Reissue Update

["Paul Vallis" <paulvallis@ho...com>]

Good points Paul.

I think I said a while ago that I didn't think that there was much left in 
the vaults that hadn't already been released, and that looks to be the way.  
Remastering has made quite a difference to a lot of old recordings, but 
could it really make much of a difference to something that was made well 
under 20 years ago by a respected producer?  I think it could just end up as 
a "different" production.  Its definately an lp that should be available in 
some format, but whether there's enough there for us die-hards to fork out 
for it again is debatable.
I guess that EMI will sort out some sort of web presence themselves if none 
other exists at the time (or even if it does!) as they have with Patrick 
Duff's recent solo lp.  Its a fairly perfunctory site, but at least its 
there.
If EMI put some money and effort into promotion and publicity (if only 
getting a few high profile reviews in the likes of Q, Mojo and Uncut) then 
it could make a big difference.  That will probably be dictated by whatever 
else is happening on the label and accumulating budgets and manpower at the 
same time.
Any more gig personnel rumours surfaced yet?  I'm no longer as close to 
people who would know as I used to be I'm afraid!

Hmmm....

Am I gonna pay £12 for one track which I don't already have?

I guess the only other thing is that it might be remastered.  Wasn't there 
some falling-out between the producer and the band?  Didn't he (Gil Norton?) 
hate Rodney or something?  I suppose it might be re-engineered rather than 
remastered.  Anybody know?  Anybody want to tell us?
It does make me wonder, all this.  I mean, who's going to buy it if not us 
lot?  And can we find out anything?  Can we bollocks.  It's long past time 
that the band had a website with all this kind of thing on it.
Clearly somebody's going to have to trap and interrogate one of the band on 
December 2nd.
