Re: Retirement.

Could be.... I would have thought that whatever deal with Rhino covered the 2019 and 2020 releases would have covered a whole campaign, including post 1991 material, but you may be right.

Re: Retirement.

I really expected more after Era 1.... and health issues would not, in my opinion, stop Rhino doing archival / catalogue releases...so I don’t know what happened.
One other thing is his biography... with new music and no news on that in so long, I do think his health must not be great.

Re: Era 2 or 3 this year?

Hi all (anyone!) The BMI database has quite a few song titles I don’t recognise..although I admit some may have been released without me remembering...or maybe there is something in the works? https://repertoire.bmi.com/Search/Catalog?num=grXpMA8kGk8ELZ4H7HJYHg%253d%253d&cae=79G0u2YQPfyfbSCHThJt...

Era 2 or 3 this year?

So we had the five deluxe in 2019 and Era 1 in 2020...
Wonder whether they’ll do Era 2 this year, which would repeat a lot of the 2019 material, or skip to Era 3 to cover 1992-2000? Guess we’ll know in the next couple of months..
Maybe even get the lost Smile album at some point?

Re: Hello!?

If you miss online commentary and discussion on Chris, the stevehoffman music forum has some threads about Chris. Well worth reading. You will also find links to a guy who blogged reviews about the 2019 reissues. One such thread: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/chris-rea.828912/page-20#post-2...

Thanks for posting. Sad to see him so haggard but nice to see him having a laugh!

Re: Hello!?

Thank you for the update; I missed the programme.

Pity he didn’t feel up to promoting the recent release, it didn’t make the UK top 100 ( although it did chart briefly at #60 in the physical sales chart)

The liner notes state that those two tracks were excluded at Chris's request...

Re: new CD on September 16?

Well I got the set his morning. Booklet notes that his debut single was not included at his own request.

Re: new CD on September 16?

They keep pushing the release date back :?
I suppose it will be worth the wait.
It is now mentioned on superdeluxeedition website so at least it is getting some promo.

Re: new CD on September 16?

I think it would suit both parties if it sells more, and it will sell more if Chris does an interview...if he is healthy enough to do so. They had the YouTube video interviews for the deluxe releases last year, so there is some level of cooperation between Chris and Warner/Rhino. I would be surprise...

Re: new CD on September 16?

Quite late if they want good Christmas sales (physical), but I guess they don’t have great expectations for this set anyway.

It will interesting to o see if they have got Chris lined up for any promotional work, even if only print interviews.

Re: new CD on September 16?

Not all rarities by the look of it...a sides and b sides from all singles of that era so some “standard” songs but hopefully all the remixes and non album b sides too.
