As the majority of us know BFB covered pretty much all of the recordings with the exception of the other Monday's Rain version and a few recordings that surfaced later. It's nice to know we might see something along those lines and possibly correct some of the mistakes they did with BFB. Not major ones but still somewhat annoying. Maybe an opportunity to revive the Assault The Vaults project? The first compilation, and so far only one, took most of the Festival recordings but what about the rest? What are the chances for that? Eh, Mark y Mark...? ;-) /Ronnie ... yeah, I know, it killed the cat! :-) http://www.brothersgibb.com Bee Gees News and Information ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2006 06:21:10 -0400 From: "Ronnie Olsson" Subject: The new remasters According to www.hmv.co.jp First, Horizontal and Idea is getting individual releases on Oct 23.
