<< Big problem, as always, is who actually owns what. I tried to do one when i worked at Attic Records and back then (80s) everyone thought their masters were invaluable and wanted all sorts of concessions and money. I think it is a lot easier now, plus the technology to clean up vinyl and tapes is way ahead of... uh.... getting the vinyl lp damp in taping from it (to reduce noise), which we had to do on a Jack Scott reissue way back in the day. another problem is the singles by said bands are always better than the eventual lps.... >> Speaking of which, Ralph (and Heads Up, Mark@rockandrollreport.com), Whilst back in Toronto earlier this year, I was fortunate indeed to be invited to a session where an archival Mandala 2-CD set was, in fact, being painstakingly assembled from an absolute wealth of hitherto-seldom (if ever!) -heard material. Believe me, this is gonna be a GOOD one, Gary "still waiting for that British Modbeats boxset too ;-)" Pig
