Hello,
I've been thoroughly enjoying the Be Bop box set re-issues from Cherry Red. I noticed they have a link on the contacts page to suggest future releases and I'd love to see the Red Noise album get the full treatment. There was definitely some live recordings as the expanded remastered version showed us...surely there's more in the vault.
so...if you're like me, trundle over to the Cherry Red website and request a Red Noise re-issue.
best
Dick
Hello Dick
Thanks for noting their suggestion box!
I just requested Live! In The Air Age in its original running order and packaged in a Japanese style 7" square mini-LP jacket...I can dream.
Thanks again
Henry
I believe that someone here was told by Cherry Red that Red Noise would get the treatment at some point.
Presumably they acquired the rights to all of the albums originally released by EMI.
If so, then there is plenty of bonus material around Drastic Plastic. All the unused studio tracks, plus BBC live video, plus Bill's home movies from the south of France.
I would personally welcome an expanded Live! In The Air Age, with a complete concert. Presumably complete shows were recorded - let's hope that the tapes still exist.
Cherry Red didn't acquire the Red Noise album, it's still owned by Warners I think, but Esoteric do have plans to license it from them so it will get the full treatment at some point in the future.
That's great news.
