I agree that both Mirage and Tango should be reissued, along with the Live album from 1980, but wonder if this would be considered viable in the current economic climate. I suspect the band were disappointed in the sales for both Say You Will and the three remasters from 2004, not realising at the time that the public just weren't purchasing cds in the same quantities as before. Of course, three years on, the situation is even more dire for cd sales so I'm wondering if it has been deemed not cost effective to bother remastering and reissuing the aforementioned cds or any of the back catalogue, which in my opinion, also desperately needs remastering (plus Stevie's solo albums).
I remember that a few years ago, Ken Caillat was interested in remastering all the Mac albums and had also spoken about DVD-A's for the White Album and Tusk so does anyone know if this will eventuate? Has anyone been in contact with Ken to check on the progress of this endeavour? What about that proposed DVD of Mac clips for which The Ledge members submitted ideas? Does this all have to come down to numbers?
