Here's the official info from SW's own homepage.  I know there was once
posted an e-mail address for the guy who runs 'Gates of Dawn'.  His last
name is of course, Piper.  :)  But I imagine that any important info about
it will appear soon.  Since this is an American release, maybe Doug P. might
be convinced to make a joint order for those in Europe interested?  We'll
have to wait until he returns home to ask. :)

NEW SINGLE

A single of "Stranger By the Minute" on CD and 7 inch vinyl will be issued
on Sep 27th. There is an enhanced portion on the CD which includes the
"Piano Lessons" video, a photo gallery, discography and lyrics. The CD
format will also include "Even Less Part 2" (7 and a half minutes that were
excised from the album version), while the B side of the 7 inch will be a
remixed version of Steven's interpretation of Neu's "Hallogallo" (originally
included on the Insignificance cassette).

NOTE : It was originally intended to include the complete version of "Even
Less" on the single, but this would have meant exceeding the maximum running
time allowed for a single in the UK.

YELLOW HEDGEROW DREAMSCAPE VINYL EDITION

American label Gates of Dawn will be issuing a vinyl edition of "Yellow
Hedgerow Dreamscape" in October. This album comprises archive material from
1984-91, most of which appeared on early cassette releases and was later
made available on
a limited edition CD in 1994. This new vinyl edition has been remastered and
one track "The Cross" has been replaced by another track from the same
period ("Out" - a Hawkwind pastiche) for purely selfish reasons (Steven
didn't like it). The double album will be pressed on high quality vinyl and
come in a full colour gatefold sleeve with extensive sleeve notes. The first
500 copies of the album will be pressed on yellow vinyl.

For those people not interested in vinyl only releases, note that this new
definitive master of YHD will eventually also appear on CD, although there
are no plans at present.
