Re: Deluxe LITD and MOL. What is out there?
There is an old thread in this Forum that was created long before the recent releases of the aforementioned three DE ACG albums; in it there are lists of possible bonus tracks for all 7 albums. You can scroll down to see the lists for LITD and MOL. Here's a link to the thread: https://www.sickthings...

Re: Canadian Rocker Lee Aaron Covers Is It My Body
I'm Canadian and I certainly remember Lee Aaron from her 'Metal Queen Era' back in the 80's. I'm not on Spotify but thanks for posting the link for others to listen to her version of the song.

Re: Yep. Here we are.
Thanks, guys. These are all strong points. I'm told that it's a good thing to practice patience, but I'm weak in that department. Besides, hints can lead to disappointment. I just hope we're not headed for a big, fat nothing. Firstly, the last sentence in my previous comment should end with 'as wel...

Re: Yep. Here we are.
I've been thinking for awhile that if there isn't either an official announcement or some credible news re. a new release featuring the ACG by May or June then some of us will likely start to become fairly restless. However, Dannorama may have indicated with the 1st sentence in his OP above one poss...

Re: Don't Blow Your Mind: The Mascot Sessions
Hi Dennis I’m guessing this was before Michael joined the group, so you had Don’t Blow Your Mind already? In his book, Dennis states that Alice and him wrote DBYM following MB's encouragement for the Group to start writing their own songs. I'm interested about Michael recording his own original son...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
Killer and SO were "announced" by DD during an interview published in early 2018. As 'The Life & Crimes...' box once showed us, often times releases can face lengthy delays in coming out.

Re: Double Albums
The ACG was recording and releasing about 2 albums per year and other Groups were only doing one album/year or in some cases one album every 2 years (i.e. The Who, LZ) around that time. So one could argue that the Original Group put out the equivalent of about a double album per year during the 1971...

Re: Alice band members past and present best albums
For me the best albums released by AC band Members are MB's Halo of Ice and Alive and Re-Cooperated: The Second Coming of Michael Bruce. Both albums were recorded live in concert in Iceland w/Michael's Icelandic backing band. I realize that the entire former album and most of the latter album consis...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
^^ I too would love to see LITD and MOL DE's released; it's a question of what could/would be added as bonus audio material. The SO DE included a live concert from the Killer Tour, presumably because either a suitable quality show from the SO Tour couldn't be found or the rights to release a quality...

Re: B$B reissue and more?
Re. the 2nd part of S&S's post: I'm not certain if you're aware but MOL was given a Quadraphonic release in the 70's, as was BDB. I've read that the MOL Quad. release wasn't as much of a departure from the original stereo issue of the album as the BDB Quad. release was from the stereo BDB issue, so ...

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album
^^ Apparently 14 songs were recorded for the album. I'm not certain if all of them will make the shortlist, but if so that does open up a lot of possibilities re. potential guest guitarists.

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album
The album with the OG was recorded some time ago so I would hope that it would be released this year, but yes as Si alluded to, it may not be the next album released. As previously stated above, Alice has other activities planned for 2024, so again it's a waiting game until an official announcement ...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
Dennis has said may times that the writing credits didn't always reflect who actually had a part in the given song. For example he has said Glen should have got many more credits then he actually did. True, and Michael Bruce stated more or less the same thing in his book re. the songwriting credits...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
I always assumed (wrongly) that "My Stars" was co-written by Wagner using the same arrangement. The song has a very strong Wagner writing influence however it was written by Ezrin with lyrics by Alice. Wagner was paid a few bucks to perform on the track. Apparently Michael Bruce wrote and played th...

I have those also. The DVD Audio, if you can find it, is pricey. But, the sound is awesome! I heard things I never heard before on the recording. Acura cars from 2004 to 2014 had CD players that could accommodate those. Though I haven't played it in quite some time (my DVD Video player no longer wo...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March
I have the 2001 BDB DE as well as the DVD Audio release. I'll have to wait until the bonus material on this upcoming release is confirmed before I can decide whether it's worth it for me to buy. I still need to buy the Killer and SO DE CDs.

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album
You also can't have the OG band simply playing their own songs, they'd have to learn a few songs from Alice's solo career, or else that simply wouldn't fly either. Firstly, as has been mentioned in this Forum, a full tour by the Original Group almost certainly won't be happening. Alice has been pre...

Here are my responses to VinceRaven's hopes: 1. I'm flexible, but I think I would find a themed album - loose theme or more substantial - to be preferential. 2. Apparently 14 songs were recorded. I don't know if all of them will be included, but I can agree w/VR that 8-10 songs could be the better o...
