I'm disappointed that the reissue for "Armchair Theatre", according to the news I saw, does not include "Sirens", "I'm Gone" and the "Every Little Thing" extended version. I'd hoped after 22 years he would get it all on one disc.

Jerry said...

Well, let's see what happens in case there are bonus tracks made available via iTunes or the Japanese editions. If Borderline isn't a new version of some sort, then we get only one new track from Armchair Theatre. That's a bit of a disappointment because I really enjoy this album and would love to hear some more session stuff from this one.

I guess many of us expected the live release to be 2 discs. There's 23 songs on the DVD, 3 unused performances from the actual concert and 3 songs recorded during the soundchecks. So 29 known titles total. Just 11 are on this disc.

Thanks for the news Jerry

Hopefully the album of new material, mentioned by Jeff a number of times at the various press events promoting Long Wave is also released in 2013.

Somewhat disappointed One Summer Dream didn't make the final cut for the live album. Can't have everything I suppose.

I'm pretty pleased Jeff releases anything at all.

It's not like he can put out everything all at once even if it is his label. Some things are worth waiting for.

I wonder why the cover designs of both Zoom and Armchair Theater are slightly different from the original ones - trademark issues?

Jerry said...

I would guess trademark/copyright, too. Remember, the guy just released a film about his entire career while completely (and I mean completely) avoiding the Sony catalog.

Jerry said...

Just replaced some of the images with some better quality versions.

No 'Long Black Road' on the Zoom re-issue. Now it was time to make things right for the non-Japanese market. Missed opportunity.

And no electric version of 'Save me Now' on Armchair Theatre?

Be intersting to see if the rumoured coloured vinyl issue of these albums is true.
