Re: Hello :)

Hello Jollypike,
Welcome to the site! The road is (one of) my favorite too. And Santo Spirito on LP would indeed be a dream but also Blue Guitars on LP...

Re: Retirement.

I know Chris is an extreme perfectionist (is that the correct English word?) and he doesn't like his older music released when he is not 110% satisfied wih the result of the recording.

Re: BMG acquires Rea rights..

Perhaps you are right. But he said that from the royalties of "Driving home..." alone he could live a very good life. So all the other revenues are extra I think.

Re: Retirement.

Yes, I guess you are right. For myself I tried to stop hoping for another live performance. I would be very gratefull for some news music released. Chris said once he writes (wrote?) "... a song a day" so that makes me wonder where all thos splendid tunes are. So I keep my fingers crossed ...

Re: La Passione DVD

Hello,

I have split your post from the previous topic as that was 13 years old.

About the DVD; are you looking for the re-release?

As far as I know the original film was never released on DVD officially.
