Redistribution of wealth. From government/people to billionaires.

Really good point. I was offered a tour spot some years back and couldn’t do it because I had to work to pay rent… the rest of the people who went on that tour got deals but I guess could afford to be unpaid for six weeks. This was early 2000s. It must be even harder now.

True. In time for Christmas! I guess the Anthology remastering is a pretty big project. I’m also keen on a Rubber Soul remastering/deluxe.

Could the Anthology be a summer release? (Wishful thinking)

Very similar style. Brilliant stuff!

A great album. Some incredible moments on there.

Cod liver oil and the orange juice - Hamish Imlach

I’m rereleasing that for its 25th anniversary this year.

I’ve always said May is the best month.

HNY buddy.
