[kj] cancelled European Super State

[sade1]

Might there ever be a CD with all their unreleased tracks, or most of them? 
Sounds otherwise like some brilliant gems may never see the light of day.

I don't think the fact that the single has been pulled is a sign that the album 
didn't sell well or that the revamped version is any less likely to appear, 
quite the reverse if anything. KJ are an album band. They always were but even 
more so now. That there was even talk of a second release suggests to me that 
the album did better than expected.

Having said that, I must confess I don't recall how official the announcement of 
a deluxe version was, but I seem to remember Jaz brought it up in an interview. 
The unreleased tracks exist so you'd expect them to do something with them and 
this would appear to be the most logical option, if they're not using them as 
"b-sides".

Time will tell. I do hope we get to hear all the extra tracks and remixes. I 
agree it would be tragic if we didn't.

I don't think signing with Spinefarm was the smartest move they ever made, I'd 
have much preferred to see them with Malicious Damage, but it hasn't been an 
unmitigated disaster. Yet.
