Dear all,
Imagine this, it could happen.
{It's happened with a lot of other artists}.
All Gord's albums are reissued with the songs remastered.
Superior packaging{lyrics, liner notes, extra photographs, pictures of him on disc etc...}
The question is ...
Would you buy them all again?!
Would I?
I certainly would.

Like I think I mentioned somewhere else, the 1999 'Songbook' IS remastered, so we already have 88 songs updated.

What I'm getting REALLY ANNOYED AT http://www.corfid.com/ubb/mad.gif is Warner Bras. not releasing the 'Final Four'!!
We're being held hostage! What do they want--my first born? Fine! My UA CDs? Fine! My whatever? Fine!

We've got people from all over the world here--seems like mostly writers and ATTORNEYS. Couldn't we file suit under the Freedom of Info Act (US law) to "borrow" these masters, with Gord's OK, of course? There must be someone at Eastern Sound who could re-master the tapes! After she finishes her current project, Char could start burning the remastered masters onto CDs and we'll all send Gord our $15US (100CAN?) per and we'll all live in a happier world. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif Sorry, had to vent!

Relax, Florian, I'm not REALLY plotting a hostile takeover bid of WB, least not today. But this IS a violation of the US Constitution and Code--Cruel and Unusual Punishment! IMHO, anyway.

Eeh, that's all folks!

Wes--SnoCone--a double!! Blackberry.

Hi Frank, I'm okay thanks. The mere idea that any of us might NOT want anything by
the Master seemed kinda comical - to me anyway. No offence intended. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif
I'll be in touch soon

Hi Frank v,

Sorry, wrong question. It should be:
How many times would you buy them again?

I have always purchased every LP or CD at least twice, one for safekeeping in the original wrapping and one to be used.

I can't find "Old Dan's Records" "Dream Street Rose" "Shadows" "Salute" on CD. They should release those *remastered* first!

Gord 07-15-2000 08:03 AM

With regards to the " Final Four", it is apparrent from Songbook, that those CD's CAN be issued. While I loved hearing the 18 unreleased tunes, hearing Sea of Tranquility finally on CD was a blessing. Perhaps if Warner Bros won't, maybe Rhino will. How difficult can it be to do this small favour? On a more morbid note, what is WB waiting for? Gord to die before they release them?

Dorothea 07-15-2000 09:27 AM

Gord,
Maybe they're waiting for a time period after songbooks release, with regards to sales.
What other reason can there be?

My final four prediction?
Released two weeks before Christmas 2001.
On Rhino.
Either two doubles or a complete package.
(Not four singles).

A "double" meaning one disk with two albums on it.

I hope that the four disks are not combined. That would be a tragedy (for ODR and Shadows especially, IMHO). And how could you pair them up? Dream Street, Shadows and Salute are chonological, so I guess putting them together is somewhat logical. Wouldn't like it though. As long as ODR is separate I could live with it.

I agree with you.I would prefer four single CD's. But for marketing and sales purposes I think they will compile them.
I hope I'm wrong!
