Rebels first Album is excellent, though currently not available on CD - The Human Menagerie. Next up, The Psychomodo, available once again, the one most people know simply because it has Mr. Soft on it. Best Years Of Our Lives followed, still freely available, because of that horrendously overplayed Make Me Smile. Then Harley changed once again, with Timeless Flight, strange but great, still to be reissued. An underrated msterpiece. Finally, Love's A Prima Donna, which the critics tore into at the time, as it was another change of style. This is available once again. The 'live' double, Face To Face, is alright, but no more than that. Harley solo Albums are, unfortunately, best left alone. Most large chain stores do have an account with BGO, therefore the ones reissued by them should hopefully be easy to get. Reecey... Make a great connection at Yahoo!

I think the truth is that poorly "produced" live CDs are poor sellers as are live CDs not promoted by the label. Let`s keep in mind that one of the best selling albums of all time (Frampton) was a live album. Besides, they must be ringing up some kind of sales for the recording industry to be so up in arms about live bootlegs. Anyway, I own not one of the recently released Roxy "Best Of/Greatest Hits" but I will buy the Live DVD.

Interesting stuff, this explains quite a bit. AFAIK the BBC cannot just go out and let people release recordings they have done, the artists have the right to say 'no' to a release and the record labels/publishers will take a financial interest. Whether the same applies to foreign broadcasters is another matter and one would have to see whatever contracts that were signed in order to decide whether the station has the rights to release the material. There is, for example, a Dutch radio broadcast of Matching Mole from 1972 that they can't release without our approval and we can't release cos they won't let us. Impasse. > He told me that they had prepared masters > for the release of their BBC Sessions, but the release was blocked at > the last minute by Virgin who said they would be handling the project. > I wonder if this was the same time that Phil made enquiries...? This makes some sense. What is extraordinary is that the BBC should think that they would be able to negotiate a deal with a third party without either the band or the label agreeing to it. Sometimes, though, labels make out they have approval or try to get it through underhand methods. I recall seeing a letter from a label to Robert Wyatt about a BBC Mole session saying 'please sign this letter so we can send you the royalties to an album'. The small print revealed it to be, in fact, a release form agreeing that the label could release the session. It wasn't signed.

Big difference is that Virgin are responsible for them and the band are responsible for the DVD. AFAIK Virgin's right to produce any more compilations has now expired but their previous rights allowed them to disregard the wishes of the band. My reference to 'breaking even' was about the band. Given filming, production, pressing, distribution, etc. costs, they will be luck to break even on its release. > >Live CDs, etc., are notoriously poor sellers. > > > BM > > Are they poor sellers or is it a case where if the label doesn`t make a > cazillion dollars on it it`s considered a poor seller?

Let`s keep in mind that one of the best selling > albums of all time (Frampton) was a live album. No, live albums are notoriously poor sellers. There is always an exception that proves the rule but c. thirty year old live albums don't really provide a fair basis for comparison with today's market. > Besides, they must be > ringing up some kind of sales for the recording industry to be so up in > arms > about live bootlegs. I don't think they are 'up in arms' about live bootlegs. It's the artists who are more exercised about people profiting from bootlegs. It's things like Napster that get the industry agitated. You also have to remember that, in a normal recording contract, live albums don't count against the contracted number of albums and are regarded by most business people as 'fillers' designed to plug a gap in a recording programme and aimed at the hard core fan (which is why they don't sell very well). Cos they traditionally don't sell they are promoted less so maybe the low sales are a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Then I must be a fan, liking both Viva and 801 live and having them in my top ten of live albums (along with Traumstadt by Hoelderlin, USA by King Crimson, two by Traffic, a Marvin Gaye or two, a Curtis Mayfield or two and the Lars Winnerback that I have been pestering you about. And a few MTV Unplugged, the list can go I guess.)

Do they really have that much label support. I don't think that their last couple of albums were huge sellers. Did they do it to break even and/or lose money? Did they do it to break some kind of Billboard record for most albums in the top 100? Or did they do it just because they are PEARL JAM?

It's risky as all get out of course, but then again there are a lot of hardcore Pearl Jam fans out there(funnily enough not as many in Seattle as you'd think). Perhaps by comparing sheer numbers of Pearl Jam fans to other fans, I'm sure by that, the odds are skewed and so more hardcore fans. Of course if R.M. or Ferry did that, I'd be making a quick trip to the dry cleaners and selling off furniture! P.S. Curtis Mayfield live? You...are...a GOD!

Hey, the great unsung Andrew Powell ! He was the backbone of the Alan Parson's Project for many a year as well as producer/arranger of Kate Bush's first couple of albums - I think his orchestral arrangements are absolutely brilliant !! I particularly loved 'The Fall of The House Of Usher' and 'In The Lap Of The Gods' (IMO, rivalled only by Ann O'Dell's string arrangement on 'Love Me Madly Again'...oh, yes, Mr Reece, it's THAT good !) not to mention cracking work on 'Crystal Gazing' and 'Like An Old Blues' for Be Bop Deluxe. In fact, I think I'll go and put 'Tales Of Mystery and Imagination' on NOW ! Regards, Ivor. n.p.
