[boc-l] New albums

[Jason Gool]

Ironic that BOC's lack of product comes up on here on the same day that a rumour starts 
circulating (well just on www.bocfans.com at the mo') that BOC are considering recording a 
new album for download.

Another rumour on there is they are examining archive recordings with (maybe) the intent to 
release some of it.

Just rumours of course...

2OC just do the live retro and country fair type circuit these days, too bad, cause 
their "newer" albums like Heaven Forbid and Hidden Mirror etc were great. 
Hawkwind and loads of spinoff acts and people keep putting out stuff on large and 
small labels, often just fan supported type and Hawkwind, though never as big and 
glitzy rawk act as BOC at their peak, they have such a larger grassroots fanbase with 
psych collectors, rave culture, old progheads as well as newer Stoner rock fans 
whatnot. BOC + HW together dont nearly touch a new Black Sabbath album sales 
wise i would assume. Sales are measured in both download and physical. If BOC 
put out vinyl people would rush to collect no doubt.

You think albums actually sell these days, for anyone? It's possible older acts with older fans (like BOC and Hawkwind) 
see more sales just because a good chunk of their fans don't do digital or have some remnant loyalty to the idea of 
"owning" music.

    It's interesting how some older bands desert the studio while others persist 
    recording and releasing new albums. Surely a new BOC akbun would sell more 
    than a new Hawkwind studio platter, yet the former hasn't released a new 
    work in ten plus years while the latter continues releasing new material. 
    Opinions?
