Does this affect the other two reissues pending; those being Sell Out and A
Quick One?
I wonder this because the original release date slated was for all three of
these titles together on June 20.
I assumed the reason they wanted to release the three together was so they could
support it with a large scale marketing plan (bulk ads in major mags - Rolling
Stone, Billboard etc) to hype the releases (given the lukewarm reception
afforded Live @ Leeds) and make the campaign (meaning the fact that every album
in the catalogue is to be redone) better known to the public.
I must wonder if they plan to keep all three on the same release date for the
reason I had assumed, or if one or both of the others are still a go for June
20.
If only Who's Next must resign us to a long and painful wait, I can live with
that. You can only listen to 1 CD at a time, and i'm sure the other two can
keep me busy for a long, long time.
