Now we're here fifteen years later and still no sign of it - it's not even listed in the "forthcoming releases" on the Aztec site (in fact it's no longer mentioned anywhere on their site) so I'm growing a bit impatient! The latest I read about it was: "When Aztec Records approached Alberts a few years back with a view to remastering the lost album and finally releasing it, Alberts struck a deal which came to nothing as they could not find the original master tapes in their archives." When I did an interview with the Angry and Pete in 2001 they said that it was to be released soon. Wayward wrote:I'd love for that album to get a proper release, but Aztec Records have had that "in the works" officially since 2008 and appearantly there was talk about it as far back as 2000. So for me personally, this particular item isn't 'fair game' at all, and i won't be leaking the album here.įor anyone else, it's a matter of their concience, i only hope they arm themselves with all the facts & consider their actions first. With the proceeds from this particular release also reportedly going to benefit the families of dead band members or their chosen charities, it adds another element to the 'argument' for not putting it out there, as you could potentially be taking money out of their pockets by posting it.
I'd much rather have the album out there the way the band intend it to be heard first, after which i'd feel far happier sharing the raw unvarnished version. The margins for small specialist labels are pretty tight & for most of them it's a cottage industry/labour of love, so a poor selling release can potentially sink such an operation altogether.

You are entitled to your opinion of course, but when it comes to specialist labels releasing niche archive stuff like this for a relatively small audience, then a leak of the material could be enough to put the label in question off of pursuing the project if they think the official release might potentially be adversly affected saleswise. Just like a lot of music on this forum, we hear / are told about a record label re-releasing material, BUT until it actually happens. If it is "unreleased", already shared, but not officially for sale, it is fair game. Let's try & be patient, and support the official release when it finally arrives. It has leaked here & there in the past, but was always quickly removed, as i believe it is supposed to be issued as a benefit for the families of some of the bands deceased members, or their chosen charities.
