If 121 and Cross that line get released later in the year (hopefully) whats the chances howard might do a gig with a focus of material from those albums..would be fantatic to finally hear cross era material live

There will be no further live material on the remasters @pmr31
They will all contain studio recordings from the said era's only

We may release other CD's with live material, but I don't think that there is any live Cross That Line material that was professionally recorded so I don't think you will be on luck with that one.

Thanks for that Glenn but was more thinking of hojo doing some live gigs around those releases which would be fantastic..fingers crossed

That's a shame. There's still a fair bit of live material out there that hasn't appeared on CD, enough to make up another collection at least as big as the first bonus disc although admittedly there would probably be some repetition of songs. 7 Risk tracks, Hunt The Self from the What Is Love? 12", Dream Into Action from the Look Mama 12", Life In One Day from the Comic Relief album, Bounce Right Back from the What Is Love? bonus disc etc. Is there really no hope? I'm sure fans would snap up a collection that brings together these tracks some of which are extremely hard to locate. Must I come and picket the Dtox offices?

Sorry, 5 Risk tracks.

If Warners dont have the original tapes then we cant do anything about it.
Also, stuff like Comic Relief was all BBC / Comic Relief and was "donated" so we cant use any of that as we dont have licenses

Bugger! Fair enough though, you can't issue what you haven't got.

Any hope of the Live In Japan, Like To Get To Know You Well, Last World Dream or Best Of... VHS cassettes being remastered and issued on DVD or are they lost to the world as well?

I hope some of the live material does appear on CD, it would be nice to fill the gaps in the discography (seeing as a majority of the vinyl material (mixes and b-sides) are making it on to CD).

If any of the old concert videos were to appear on DVD, I would suggest adding a CD to each release with a selection of rare live material from the related era.

Interesting to know. I have always been curious about this. I remember watching Howard playing NOITB and The Prisoner on an American talk show 'Arsenio Hall' in 1989. Then there is a little bit of footage from the Summer 1991 convention video from the CTL Tour. Other than that, I really can't recall hearing or seeing CTL material live or anyone talking about it.

The same seems to apply to the Synthesizer Tour promoting Working In The Backroom. I've seen the video of a live performance of 'Let the Spirit Carry Me' and heard some really terrible quality bootleg stuff. Again it was very scarce.

I'm not anticipating anything on these, however I'm very interested in people's concert experiences (stories and perhaps photos) of those two tours.

It is interesting thinking about some of the live TV performances if you can get access to the recordings (if there are recordings)

I have a VHS recording of Howard's performance on Channel 4's The Tube, back in the day. I especially remember the Bounce Right Back duet with Jools Holland. Now a decent quality version of that would be excellent.

There are others I have on VHS too, Equality and Don't Always Look at the Rain from The Whistle Test, again CD quality would be great if they can get it.

Although I think it's been said the extra tracks are from recordings from the same era as the remaster so these would have come with the Original Releases.

It was great to get the Oxford Roadshow tracks, I also have than still on VHS (and I was there in person to watch). Well I actually have it on DVD as I copied it from VHS to DVD but you get the VHS quality warts and all
