Following discussions on this list over the last couple of
weeks, it seems the biggest gripe about WOTT is that no SFG
material was included. It was also noted that the tapes
were probabally still owned by Elektra. If this is the case
then they are never going to appear on a Sony release
unless Sony buy/have bought them from Elektra.
If Elektra DO still own the rights, then maybe with all the
renewed interest/tour and release of WOTT, maybe they would
be interesred in getting the SFG stuff released.
Can anyone / does anyone know how to get in contact with
Elektra to find out who has the tapes/rights and if they would
be interested in releaseing them or leasing them to someone
like RPM (the Heep label thingy) for release?
Maybe CellSum would be interested!!!!!!!



My biggest gripe with WOTT is the lack of new material.  Not one
official cult live record has included their amazing live opener
'Stairway.'  I wish WOTT had included more unreleased live stuff, and
of course, how about some great unreleased stuff, esp.  'Wings of
Mercury.'  Does anyone else remember this tune?  I believe it was
circa 'Club Ninja,' but it could have been earlier.  Also, at that
same time, they also played live another song that Eric said would be
on an upcoming album.  Maybe all this was just prior to CN, and these
two great songs were somehow cut from that album.  I remember they
were both great, esp. 'Mercury.'  Can anyone supply any info?
