Well, the box set Hooky was talking about was supposedly a ‘live’ set, rather than the studio stuff.

To be fair, Heart and Soul was a good set, with not much missed off, so probably little point in a repackage of the studio stuff.

Great stuff, JJ. Looking forward to it.

From my point of view, anything audio wise would be good. I know you will pull together a great set. I can't think of anything specific that I'd like to see.

However, my 'request' would be for it to contain visual material, so would like to see a DVD included.
Let's get every visual record of the band together in one place (some of it not seen by most fans). Namely:

1) 'Granada Reports' 20/09/78
2) Bowden Vale 14/03/79
3) 'What's On' 19/07/79
4) 'Something Else' 15/09/79
5) Plan K 16/10/79
6) Apollo 27/10/79
7) Apollo 28/10/79
8) Eindhoven 18/01/80
9) T J Davidson footage 28/04/80 (i.e. 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' video etc.)
10) The Whitehead film. If there is a problem getting this cleared by the band etc (due to Mr Whitehead using footage of Nazi speeches ), maybe you could release the JD footage only, i.e. the unedited rushes. If they're available, of course.
11) Anything else video wise? Perhaps that rumoured Leigh footage does exist!

Would any of this be possible? Is the set likely to have a DVD, or will it just be audio only?



Obviously, a lavish book with some live photos would be most welcome. Let's get some non-Cummins ones in there. The O'Neill Bowden ones, the Slattery ones, those fab ones by Verhost from the Rotterdam gig. I've nothing against the Cummins ones (obvs); it would just be nice to see some of the others used.

As for hoarding, there was that guy that reckoned he had the Rainbow gig from 04/04/80. Might be a bit murky though.

Might be worth shouting out to members on JDC (especially Erik and Marko). They might know of items that are possibly 'out there', but not in the hands of the general public.

Is there any news to impart? Christmas will be here before you know it...
