Sent a quick email to Domino to find out how Volume 3 coming along. As always, quick, friendly and informative response... We’re hard at work on it now as I type… gathering all the masters at the moment for remastering and yes much care and attention is being paid to Oceans Apart in particular. all the best, | ||

So, a non-distorted Oceans Apart may be on hand? I miss the old days of the Oceans Apart brickwalling wars here. | ||

Thanks for the report Dusty! I'll get it under any circumstances, but a master of "Ocean's Apart" with aural space and clarity will probably be a revelation. The delicate touches provided by Mark Wallis will finally sparkle. I'm guessing "Live in London" will be included. | ||

Anyone any ideas where the boxsets are dispatched from. I'm in Ireland and with Brexit my guess is with VAT and TAXES this will be too pricey, unless there's a distribution within the EU. Did people outside EU have issues with Vol 1 & 2. I didn't have this problem with Vol 2 but stupidly I passed on Vol 1 so fingers are crossed for a repress. | ||

Volume 3: What's going to be on it? The last three albums obviously. Live in London 2CD recording of The Barbican Concert. B-sides: 1. Woman across the way, 2. The locust girls. 3. Haven't I been a fool (live) 4. Clouds (live) 5. Cattle & Cane (live). 6. Instant Replay 7. Taxi Taxee (Aus only release) 8. A girl lying on a beach 9. Crystal Shanks 10. Stone 11. Erotic sunshine 12. The City of Lights (Vs. Future Pilot AKA) 13. Sleeping Giant 14. Ashes on the lawn (unreleased, originally intended as Finding you b-side) Other stuff: There’s a very nice acoustic version of ‘The sound of rain’ from an instore in NYC in 1999 (I think!) with RF thinking out loud: “should that be included in the set, I don’t know …”. When RF and GMcL were playing in 1999 to promote Bellavista Terrace compilation, they included a version of ‘Suicide at home’ in their duo set. The song originally appeared on Grant's project The Far Out Corporation's LP. When the GBs were touring in 2000, they included a Go-betweenised version of Grant’s ‘One plus one’ in their set. That’s all I can think of. Maybe there’s some radio sessions that I’m not aware of … A nice colour poster of the GBs Mark 2 (the poster in Vol 2 was a load of Barry White. Should have been a reprint of the screenprint for Birds & Bees Tour 1988 or something similarly nice). And there’s Vol. 3 which I have most of already but will doubtless buy anyway. | ||

Thank you for this information fsh! I would love to hear a Go-Betweenised version of "One Plus One." It's a great song that would have boosted either "Rachel Worth" or BYBO. I'd buy it anyway but there's enough here to justify it, besides pure sentiment. | ||

They're surely not going to leave out that "Global Twins" cover of Sympathy For the Devil, are they ? | ||

The album (The Candle And The Flame) is reviewed in Uncut. Score is 9/10. A novel and a final G Stands boxset are following. Busy year 2023 for Robert! | ||

There's no more news from Domino at present. I emailed them yesterday and got a succinct reply today: 'No news as yet.' Ah well... | ||

There is a fantastic set Grant and Robert did for Radio B2 in Munich in May 1999 that would be wonderful in any box set. Acoustic versions of Devil's Eye, Part Company, Haven't I Been A Fool, Baby Stones, Suicide At Home, Dive For Your Memory, Right Here, Spring Rain, Clouds, Bye Bye Pride, Easy Come Easy Go, 121, Was There Anything I Could Do? |
