::GONG BACK CATALOGUE TO GET THE TREATMENT IT DESERVES Tue 21 Jan
::2003 by jonny
::The time has come...EMI (the owners of Virgin Records) are to
::re-release much of the Gong back catalogue this year. The CDs
::will be re-mastered from the original tapes, be expanded with
::previously unheard bonus tracks and have totally new, detailed
::and illustrated booklets.
::
::The Radio Gnome Trilogy of Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You
::are due at the end of May and Live Etc, expanded to a double CD,
::will be available in October. The You CD should also contain the
::1974 Quad mix re-mastered for 5.1 surround sound and there is a
::strong possibility of Flying Teapot and Angel's Egg being
::similarly treated.
::
::This most exciting venture is being co-ordinated by Mark Powell
::who has overseen many other similar projects, such as a
::masterful job on the Caravan catalogue a couple of years back.
::We are in regular contact with him to help to make these
::releases the best ever - no contest.

::Gong related back catalogues which have had, or are just about
::to have the 're mastered from master tapes, added unheard bonus
::tracks, new deluxe booklet treatment' are Kevin Ayers (almost
::completed and due first), Khan (all done awaiting a release
::date) and Steve Hillage (at the planning stage). Boy it's going
::to be an expensive year.

::I can feel the financial pain already.
