OFF: Porcupine Tree / Delerium

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

Yes - it's a bizarre affair. A month or two ago we got offered a whole stack
of Delerium label CD's (non-PT) by a deletion/overstocks company for a
mega-cheap price per title (and they listed the qty of each CD they'd got
next to the title - some were as high as 300+ units!!), so make what you
will of that.
Then they do 'Metanoia' on CD (having said when the vinyl came out that it
would not be on CD) and when CDS asks to buy copies from them for our
customers, we are refused point blank. 'If we've got any left after
Christmas, we may let you have some' was the word. Make what you will of
that. Not just us though - wouldn;t wholesale it to anyone else.
Now word is that Snapper are putting out the 'Stars Die' thing and
apparently yet again it's going to be all ltd editions of this that and the
other.
Then the FE catalogues go more mianstream than ever recently.
All very strange I suppose - maybe pure psych doesn't work so well on its
own anymore.
Tombola is out, we've sold out, and it's great but totally different from
SJU - in my CDS review I likened it to a space-rock answer to 1970 era
Jefferson Airplane - a very psych but pretty amazing album.Back in stock
here in about a week.
