1st record is great,second is ok. Can't believe anyone would want to reissue them at all.

I can given that they had future members of L.A. Guns and that little known band Def Leppard in their ranks.

I don't think that has ever really made people interested in them. Also,I have both lp's,and a bunch of singles,and I think probably paid the total equivalent of about 5euro. They have always been hard to give away,never mind sell.

CD re-issues are a low-risk investment. If you can sell 500-1,000 copies you're gonna break even, assuming you didn't have to buy back the masters from some big label.

I'm pretty sure putting out an actual cd by anyone is a labor of love at this point.

A fair point,but no real convincing me.

Anyway,I saw them in town today and they do look well. The second one has a live set I'd like to hear,but I'm not buying it to hear it.
I found out today as well,the Bass Player in Girl,was the bass player from Radiators in Space,I never knew that,despite being a fan of both for years.
