paul hyde and bob rock have been recording a new Payolas album
go to: http;//www.paulhydemusic.com
they played a week long stand in vancouver two years ago as The payolas
(they were the only original members) with session guys. great show - all
the hits in chronological order with song by song commentary by paul.
previewed two new songs. As i said - a fantastic show - there was supposed
to be a tour but it did not happen.
as paul is on my label and working on his new lp + a side project (Go Go
Kings) - i asked him about it at the time (2 years ago).
The Payolas are Bob Rock's project. Any label interest in The Payolas goes
to Bruce Allen, Bob Rock's manager. I assume that if Bruce wanted
Universal to re-release payolas cds - he has the power to do so (whether
Universal can create proper re-issues that collectors and fans expect is
doubtful - no Canadian major labels re-issue back catalog on cds properly
nor do they really care, to be honest. Unless the government mandates that
also, it will never happen). The limited edition charity cd that jaimie is
talking about, i have never seen, but again, jaimie, if you have the
money, just contact Bruce Allen. He's actually a lot more approachable
than the reputation that precedes him.
That is all I know.
If anyone is not familiar with the Rock & Hyde cd on EMI/Capitol - find it
- buy it - one of my favourite albums ever.
