Aherm.. so what is those new BFTG's all about then?

[Lee de Parade]

Tim (who I added on Facebook) seems to be restoring this fine series for a re-release.
He is de-clicking, de-noising, re-scanning and re-writing and I don't know what more. He's busy.

So what I'm wondering is (since I don't want to be a pestilence to the guy by sending him demented PM's over FB) - what will be new?

Is this strictly a vinyl-operation? (I'm a cd-kinda fella - soorryyy).
Or will it be available on CD as well? And will Tim do something about those CD's since tracks and shit is missing (it bugs lil' ole customer me).
I need to have The Werps on CD, ok? I just need it!

And will there be a BFTG vol. 9?
And if so - as ancient astronaut theorists believe - will it be released this millennia?

Ask him - I'm sure he'll give you a definitive explanation!

The Purple Virus will reform and give out free 45:s before BFTG 9 hits the market. :)

While I am FB friends with Tim and I have seen a few posts from him mentioning a remastering of one (or more?) BFTG's, at this point I think it is something still in the planning stages. If I learn anything more definite I will be sure to update.

 

[chas_kit]

It's pretty definite I think - at least volumes 4 and 7 remastered and a gatefold cover with updated notes for vol. 4.

[Lee de Parade]

Ok, I sent Tim a pm, just hope he has it in his heart to answer it. I can keep interested parties informed if you like.

says Tim:
"re-done BFTGs: argh, KICKING myself that i didn't re-master the Vol ONE cos the NEW and updated gatefold sleeve really deserved a re-master - but NEXT time!
FOUR: fully re-mastered, ditched Sonics "Santa Claus" and "Night Of The Sadist"
SEVEN: fully re-mastered, ditched Spiders "No Price Tag" and Moguls "Ski Bum".
next is Grave 6 - probly ditching Werps cos it ALWAYS bothered me!"



He also told me about the hassle of trying to put a ninth volume together. Music should be public domain after 40 years..

Did he say when they would be available?

Man, it'd be fucking awesome if a ninth volume ever came to fruition. But, from the sign of things, I'll be in MY grave before anything like that ever happens.

Second that but everything is possible and if I am correct Swyne, sound recordings published in the US, fixed prior to 15 Feb 1972, are subject to state statutory and/or common law protection, and will enter public domain in 15 Feb. 2067! According to here.
