As many of you know we are releasing Todd Rundgrens new studio album on April 8th "State" on Esoteric Antenna.
Todd will be touring in the USA, Scandinavia and the UK in May and June 2013. I will issue a separate press release on this.

John Lees Barclay James Harvest are playing in Holland and Germany in April 2013 and the UK in November. Full details on the JLBJH website along with ticket links www.barclayjamesharvest.com . Gordon Giltrap and Oliver Wakeman will be special guests of the band in the UK.

We also have Marks new podcast number 2 up and running on the Esoteric website, Feb releases plus featured artist--Wigwam. We had a hiccup last week due to "security" from You Tube actually blocking our own material--but now all sorted. This is also a downloadable MP3. We have had lots of nice comments about the podcasts--so worth a listen.

I suppose the Cochise anthology is not the German Cochise.

I'm defenitly going to buy the FM CD's.

Sign me up for Black Noise, I have a pretty good rip from my vinyl direct-to-disc so I'll have to think on it. Maybe if it is a different version. There were 3 or 4.

German Cochise.


Do you think they could sell more than 100 copies if reissued??? :D

Why not? I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes them. I have 3 CD's by them and would love to have them all. I don't see anything wrong with them. I like them more than a lot of music that is praised on this forum.

Any chance of a rerelease of the other Colosseum II albums?

You misunderstood... I was not referring to their music quality but to the sad fact that there is no interest for such (under the radar) obscurities nowadays.

Yes they are obscure, but I think they could have a more mainstream audience, though their lyrics might be a bit to left-wing for some.

Someone from Italy contacted me, wanting a burn of my Paul Kent LP. He also asked if a reissue was available. After a bit of thought, I replied, "I'm surprised that Esoteric hasn't done a CD reissue of this. You might want to email Mark & Vicky and put a word in their ear, as this one and the P.C. Kent LP would be a good fit for their label, and they do nice reissues."

Ever tried to license those albums, Vicky?

I'd like to see this.
