The Marc, erm, ‘Marc’ stuff is exciting! Hadn’t heard about this, so thanks (again!) … Might be a bit of a scrimmage getting it on vinyl – any insight on a future cd versh?
A ‘Live’ release from the Quo’s Frantic Four lineup? You better believe I’m all in for this! Can’t have too many of those recordings in your collection, ever!
I really hope that Stewart Copeland’s “The Rhythmatist” remaster gets a CD release later in the year. Fingers and toes crossed in hopeful anticipation.
