Because the launch took us all slightly by surprise, did anyone see 'Test pressings' in either store? As an integral part of the BMG marketing launch, odd if they didn't have 50 or 100 at a premium price. Josh Blair has test pressings, see the image from this link: ibb.co/3FCT7gR |

I wasn't proud of paying an exorbitant amount for the Future Past one but the signatures are pretty good. |

Maybe they will auction them away to rise more funds for Andy?

Shadows On Your Side and New Moon On Monday both featuring Andy on guitar, as mentioned in an interview with Andy. I wonder if they’re holding those tracks for another project (Andy alluded to other DD projects on Rockonteurs). Maybe there’s going to be an album of re-recorded classics in the near future… |

How do people feel about the band potentially changing lyrics to some of the songs on the new album? Secret Oktober and Love Voodoo are not even close to Halloween themed (lyrically). The fact that the titles have been changed makes me think they've also changed the lyrics to make it almost an entirely different song.

The fact that the titles have been changed makes me think they've also changed the lyrics to make it almost an entirely different song. Great question…I think I am ok with it…? For example, SLB added that whole new verse / bit at the end of the 90’s live Secret Oktober, and that didn’t bother me…likewise, Drive By added to The Chauffeur…I guess I am expecting the music to be the thing that’s different vs the lyrics with these songs - AT’s guitar on SO, WC putting a new twist on LV…but if they change up the lyrics, I’ll be okay with it if the music works…🤷♂️ |

Still blown away. 😎❤️ |

I think I'll enjoy the tracks the more they seperate themselves from the original. I can imagine other fans feeling like the band are ruining a song they cherish though. No one would bat an eye if they were re-working Dirty Great Monster 😂 |

If a remake replaced an original, that would definitely be a problem. |
