I’m very interested in finding out what exactly will be released. Like you I bought the remaster. I like it but the additional disk is kind of pointless. There’s nothing there that requires a 2nd or 3rd listen. So if the album is being reissued again and this time has worthwhile extra’s, why didn’t they come out first time around??
Will the DVD be like the current Hendrix ‘Electric Ladyland’ reissue? Tacking on the classic album dvd documentary as a 2nd disk?? I hope not. I do love that Rumours classic album documentary but we’ve all got/seen that. This reissue has to have something worthwhile to make it of any interest. I mean, in the music stores its not as if the last 2cd reissue of Rumours is very expensive, it can be bought fairly cheap.
I understand with the band out on the road their record company will want some product out on the shelves. I’d much prefer reissues of Mirage/Tango or even a full length documentary film on the bands history.
There’s a million different things the band/record company could’ve done in the way of putting something of interest for the hardcore/casual fans on the shelves. But I don’t feel there’ll be much effort put into this reissue. This could we be a wasted opportunity. I certainly hope it isn’t though.
