Hi all,

If you subscribe to Generations you will be getting a newsletter with 
all the below info and more.  I'm only listing items that haven't been 
covered here or new info on old topics.

The new (expanded) Who's Next re-issue has been delayed by Pete, so 
that MORE unreleased material could be included (possibly from the 
Young Vic).  Pete's tape of Time Is Passing is too damaged (one channel 
of the stereo mix drops out for most of the song) to be used.  Mary and 
Can't You See I'm Easy are missing from Polydors vault!  On the plus 
side, the mastertape used to make the Lifehouse To Leeds bootleg CD is 
going to be returned to the band, for Astley to mix.  He was working 
with a copy of the tape.

The IOW 1970 performance looks like it will be released (not confirmed) 
on CD by Castle Communications.  This IS NOT part of the re-issue 
series by Polydor/MCA.  Reasons why Polydor/MCA wouln't release it: a. 
the quality of the tape is inferior, and b. the set is too similiar to 
Live at Leeds.  Obviously, to release the whole show would require 2 
CD's, it is not known if this is planned.

Chris Welch has completed just completed a new biography on the band 
called Teenage Wasteland, which will be published by Castle 
Communications.  It covers their career up to the split in 1983.  UK 
price is 11.99, paperback 160 pages.


Anybody with any info on the Castle Communications label please post 
it.  CDNOW has them listed in their catalog, they have previously 
released CD's of some of the more obscure '70's bands (Uriah Heep for 
one).  Does anybody know if they have put out any videos?  I'm thinking 
of the IOW show.

Regards,

Bruce
