Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if BOC is reluctant to do it because the
Brain Surgeons did it.  What I mean, perhaps they think that by doing so,
they'd have to admit that maybe Albert knows what they should be doing
better than they do.  If so, well the Bible says "Pride goeth before a
fall".

Um... if you don't release it, period, then nobody will hear any of these
good songs anyway.  At least on an independent release *some* people will
get to hear it.



Agreed.  Do these guys think that some major label is suddenly going to
come forward and offer them a deal?  I mean, if 2 years ago all the major
labels turned BOC down, what's suppossed to attract them to BOC now?
Hey guys, Miranda and O'Reilly may be good musicians, and "I'd Like to
See You in Black" is one good tune, but if you think that those things
will make the difference between getting a major deal or not (oh, and I
forgot - they also have another "greatest hits" package released by Sony
since 2 years ago), then like Deb said, I don't know what you're smokin'
these days.
