I'd posted the pre-order 'buy' links on the site, to the newsletter (and I'd thought to here), so...for the first or second time: Here's the skinny on the re-masters, from co-producer of the project, Andy Zax: During the mastering process, we discovered the tape of the band's first sessions for Korova (also, I believe, the very first recordings made after Pete DeFrritas joined the band). I begged both Warners and management to allow us to include them, even though we were in the final stages of preparing the album for reissue. We sorted everything out and the three tracks were added to the disc at the last possible moment. In the process, Crocodiles was shifted from its US to its UK sequence--with the US additions appended as bonus tracks--and the release date of all five albums was moved one week forward to November 3.

I noticed that on "Crocs" the songs "Do It Clean" and "Read It In Books" are considered bonus tracks since they were omitted from the original UK LP. So if the US reissue is the same as the UK reissue. Ivan or Peter can anyone verify if this will be the case or not? If so, the US listeners will have an "added" thrill of a changed running order of "Crocs" and may take a little time getting used to.

I don't order from them anymore - since Flowers.... didn't get it from them until 3 weeks after release... and the packaging was as you described... through bunnymen.com, we're focusing on amazon - they're the biggest of the online resellers, and getting the remasters into their top 25 preorders would be a boon, and result in 'spotlight' features on their site, etc... prior to this week's newsletter, they were all around #8,000 in sales rank on amazon... last I checked, they're in the top 400.... - -I - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Whiting" To: Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 9:14 AM Subject: Re: seven-seas remasters tracks... > www.101cd.com are listing the remasters on their website at the rather > reasonable price of #6.99 (postage = #1 for 1st item, 50p > thereafter)......which is nice. > > Anyone know how they package things these days ?
