Re: Era 2 or 3 this year?

That is a good find, I just tried to google across the night, and cannot see record not the song I can find. Usually someone has put a you tube version up with some background photos.
Also it is a Magnet label recording, one locked in the vaults or am I wrong.

Re: Master tapes for 1982 album "Smile" found again

So now nearly 3 years since this thread started has anything been done with these found 'Smile' tapes. Are we likely to get a release by Rhino or alike?

Re: Era 2 or 3 this year?

I would hope so, Rhino gave a like to my suggestion as such so hopefully it happens.

Official you tube channel

Not much I guess, but I noticed the official you tube channel have been uploading a few videos of older songs in the last few weeks. A bit of activity so perhaps leading to something this year (I say hoping)

The story says up to print about £209,000 but there is a link to a live estimation which has moved o...

Re: New comp?

Interesting, the edel comp not so, but the vinyl release of 'The very Best of' on his official store must come with his approval I guess, is this an indication of a return to his older stuff, a revisit and perhaps a search of the vaults, I wonder who has the rights now to the Smile album that has be...

Re: Master tapes for 1982 album "Smile" found again

I am far more in hope that it will, and be successful too. Remember when the Blue Guitars 11 CD set came out Chris explained execs told him he wouldn't get his costs back but he proved them wrong and it sold well and made money. So this can or could be the same. We underestimate how loyal a followin...

Re: Master tapes for 1982 album "Smile" found again

I guess on the theme of other singers singing Chris's songs, you have a full album of Sarah randle 'The Sparrow' which chris has since put out some of his own versions. 1. The Sparrow 2. Working Day 3. Cry Baby Cry 4. Do What You Do 5. Picture Of You 6. That’s How Strong My Love Is 7. Come Around 8....

Re: Master tapes for 1982 album "Smile" found again

Love your suggestion Bart :-)
Some really interesting knowledge there Andrew, it's fascinating knowing there are potentially a river of songs by Chris we are yet to hear !

Re: Master tapes for 1982 album "Smile" found again

This is brilliant, and I'm sure there are more tapes elsewhere (or from the same source) as Chris himself has said many times he records far more songs than make it to an actual album released. Perhaps the archives will be opened up and a box set of lost recordings can be released. How about ideas f...
