Greeny Pvk era

Hello from Italy.

"In The Skies", "Little Dreamer" and "Watcha Gonna Do" will be out on Sanctuary next April 18th.

All the 3 cds have been remastered and have sleeve notes written by Martin Celmins.

Sorry, no unreleased tracks here!

That's great, but what about "White sky"? I always thought that was a PVK album.
And they could at least have tagged on the outtakes from the album sessions as released on
"Kolors" and "Legend" as bonus, without overdubs.

Firstly, I must say the the 3 cds are on Castle, rather than on Sanctuary...

Then I agree 100% with you. I don't like reissues when they are a straight copy of the actual LP.

Fori stance, Peter's brother Mike said that "Black Woman" was a good track from the "Little Dreamer" sessions and that Peter was disappointed because it was left off the LP. (it ended up to be part of Kolors).

Last, but not the least, I think that "White Sky" was on Creole and was the first solo album not Pvk.

CDUniverse.com shows the April 18th release date. Amazon.com shows the release date as April 25th.

Too bad they couldn't bring themselves to add the 45 version of "Apostle" to the In The Skies album.

Yes Chili,

the street date has been posponed to April 25th 2005.

Just like you, I have been dissapointed by the lack of unreleased and/or altenate takes, but I hope Martin sleeve notes will make up for that.

Mario.

I'm glad that these three are being released. Maybe it will stop the flood of "anthologies" of these tracks. To get ALL the songs from these three albums, you'd have to buy about 10 of the anthologies and then you'd end up with a severe redundancy of tunes.

hi mario, cD and everyone-

i don't understand this re-release strategy at all. i'd definitely get the pvk reissues if there were extra unreleased tracks or outtakes.

is it correct that material not on the original releases of the pvk and pre splinter group solo records (in the skies, little dreamer, what cha gonna do, white sky) that has been released (on kolors, legend etc) are not from in the skies? i do have kolors and it seems to be from sessions after in the skies and the credits are consistent with that. but i'm not entirely sure about this because i don't have legend or any of the other compliations.

there are outtakes from in the skies on snowy's goldtop compilation, i understand. are these worth getting?
