I'm sure it will be edgier, Because I very much doubt Sanctuary records will release an album (Either in conjunction with another label or on their own) that would be considered "safe".

That certainly used to be the case, but not so much anymore... we'll see how Matthew Knowles' (Beyonce's EVIL daddy) joining the label group is going to effect at least the edginess of their urban roster.

What I'm more interested in is the Carl Stubner angle. Stubner (Mick's agent) is one of the principals of Sanctuary.

The fact that it'll be distributed by Koch in the U.S. isn't great... I'm not a fan. It's unfortunate Sanctuary isn't taking it here.

You may be right...

I'm not a fan of Koch's either. I wonder why they (Sanctuary) won't use BMG Distribution as they have in the past with releases?

(update-The edginess I was referring to is with artists under the Sanctuary label, such as Queensryche, Not the whole Sanctuary Records Group...My bad.)

Thanks for the news, Joe (and Jannie)! I wasn't sure I'd ever really see this.

YAYE!!! Go Christine. I am just glad she's making music. June 7 - not TOO far away.

Im so excited, but are we going to get this in the US? I hope I can get my hands on it somehow! I must have this!!!

cliffdweller · #21 03-29-2004, 01:38 PM

Yay!

I'm excited to hear some new C.M. material, but will this mean a tour? Wasn't that that the reason she stayed away from SYW?

do you ever take time to realize just how cool this past year has been? seems like every other month there's another cool mac thing to enjoy (and of course invest some money in

), you know, i can remember such loooooooooooooooong periods of mac droughts, that lately i just feel like a kid in a candy store

I was thinking about that too. If Chris tours in support of this record, we will know that the "no touring" reason they gave for her leaving is bogus.

I'll bet that if she does tour, it won't be more than a dozen dates.

I'm really excited that Christine's album finally has a release date, and that it won't just be available as an import. With the reissue of 'Christine Perfect,' we'll be getting two great Christine releases this summer, and I am stoked!

Same here, Tommer!
And frankly, they can keep this onslaught of new products coming for the next several years, and I won't be satiated (new albums, more reissues, new & archival material DVDs... I want it all).
I became a fan in the mid-'80s when the Mac's output was slowing considerably, so this is the first time I'm experiencing what it must have been like to have been following the band in the '70s.
In fact, I'd wager that it's the first time that about 85% of us are experiencing this!

I think "tour" & "Christine McVie" are mutually exclusive.

I doubt that she'll do any live dates further than a day's drive from her abode.

I look for her to only do a small amount of press, and just a handful of live performances not far from her home in England.

And hopefully someone amongst "the powers that be" would have the foresight to have one of those shows filmed.

Johnny Stew · #28 03-29-2004, 02:09 PM

We had the same thought, chili.......... get out of my head!!!!

I'd die to see her on Graham Norton.

She's got a wicked sense of humor and they'd be perfect together. I can just imagine what he'd ask her.

"'Fess up, did you and Stevie Nicks ever hook up?!"

But touring for herself is different than touring with FM. With, FM it's such a circus event, whereas a solo tour could be a much more scaled down event. Additionally, in a solo tour, Christine does the songs she wants....in FM, she has to participate in everyone else's songs (and her oldies) that she is probably so sick of doing.
