[kj] atkins latest swindle

[death wish]

Mine is on Noise International, and has the Invisible logo in the booklet, 
above where it says "Invisible Management". I'd be surprised if anyone out 
there has a copy on the Invisible label itself (as Martin would've 
definately re-packaged it with some shitty remixes, a new cover, and charged 
$40 for it.)

Prior to Extremities coming out, I talked to Jaz and Martin about the 
Courtald Talks, which is on Invisible. Jaz had a chuckle at the spelling 
mistakes on the sleeve... Martin groaned and made faces. When I asked if 
Extremities was gonna come out on Invisible, I immediately sensed this was a 
sensitive topic. Jaz said something vague about "building bridges" and 
Martin sat silent. I'm sure Martin would've LOVED to have had the album, but 
it seems to reside with Noise Records who are an offshoot of Sanctuary.

For shits n'giggles I wrote to them, asking about a possible 
remaster/reissue. Not holding my breath, though.
