BOC Rumor

[John A Swartz]

>Thanks for the heads up John.  Sounds to good to be true.  Some of this
is beginning to make very little sense.  KB to release some live songs
from the vault, AOF to be re-released in the Gold platform and EW closer
to release than ever before.  Who has convinced someone out there that
there is that much of a market for BOC stuff?  Where the hell has this
"person" been for the last several years?  I


Well, some of it is probably just dumb luck.  AOF Gold may have been in
the works for awhile - Mobile Fidelity has been expanding their collection
over the past few years and many of their releases are classic albums
from the 70s - I suspect that they may look at overal album sales for
various albums, and use that as a basis for what to re-master.  Or, perhaps
they look to represent most of the top artists of that era with at least
one gold CD.  Either way, I'm not sure it has anything to do with the
timing of other potential releases.  As for KBFH, they too have recently
been expanding their collection.  It does sound as if they stumbled on the
right person to help (ie Bolle) them select stuff - this could be somewhat
luck, although I imagine there has been some demand (I think I e-mailed them
a year or so ago about this - at the time there were contractual things
to work out with CBS records, and maybe after Sony released *Workshop of
the Telescopes*, they saw enough interest in BOC stuff to work out a deal
with KBFH).  As for the Wheel, well it's been rolling our way for years...
