[kj] Reissues

Fri Sep 2 06:52:39 EDT 2016

I tend to be the music industry's ideal customer/sucker as far as all this
is concerned, but
these would have to be fairly special to make me part with any cash. I
would shell out to
hear unreleased songs from the early KJ era, for sure, but there are other
ways of sweetening
the deal, for example a decent booklet - or even book - with interviews
from the time and new interviews/comments with the
band, essays, any unseen photos, decent posters etc etc. There are still
some of Youth's early dub mixes that have never been
released from the WTF...! era but like you say, the tapes are possibly lost
for ever. But if it is just 'single edits' - ie
the same bloody songs but a few seconds shorter - then no.

I would love to own a decent high quality version of  Hallucinations of a
Cynic, rather than the tinny Youtube
recording we are stuck with at present.
