Greg, Just to let you know that the record company (Siren records, a Virgin subsiduary) will not re-release the cd without either advance orders of 20,000 or advance sales of between 5,000 and 10,000.
It would be great to think that they would shift this many, but being realistic do you think you will see it in the shops? Steve McKenna originally claimed it was being re-released in the early part of the year, then it was early summer. Now we are well into the summer and still no sign of a release date.

: Steve,
: heard your anouncement, that the album
: should be re-released in the summer, on the
: radio last night. If you have managed to
: have the album re-released its great news
: and I think all the Fruit fans owe you a a
: big thanks (hopefully introduce a new
: generation to their music).
: Well done and keep up the great show. It
: would be terrific if the record company

: Hi Simon
:
: It's great that you've a passion for the
: Fruits of Passion but you're proposing
: stealing from them. Musicians, like
: everyone, have to make money to feed their
: families and one of the main sources is
: through record sales. Despite making an
: amazing and beautiful album the band never
: made any money in the 80's. I'm currently
: negotiating to have the album released and
: get them the money they rightly deserve.
:
: I've been asked to burn those same tracks
: over a hundred times now but I've never done
: it because it's illegal and I'd be stealing
: from people who've entertained me and made
: my life a wee bit happier and more
: enjoyable.
:
: Hoping the album will be released in the
: next 2 months complete with original
: artwork, lyrics and a wee update on the
: members.
