The only thing I can think of is that the new album will be on a different label (and we have been hearing rumors that they may very well be with a new label but I still don't know if the new record will be on Reprise yet or not) as naturally a competing label would want to cut in to the sales of a rival you know what I mean? That's the only thing I can think of anyways so I hope that's of some help. Any other ideas anyone?
One thing is for sure though, if the new album is on a different label, I'm going to bug Rhino until they release the FM WB back catalog (as they will THEN be able to "touch" them but ONLY then) with bonus tracks!
