Just reading the return of the last gang book and it references a tv show called "That was then this is now" which Mick is quoted from a lot does anyone know if this is avaible anywhere? Also there is mention of a London SS rehearsal tape that got bootlegged is this true? Why hasnt it ever surfaced again, or have i missed it?

The London SS tape has never surfaced.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: That was then this is now
It's been mentioned that when Generation X had their first album remastered couple of years back Tony James had his copy of the London SS tape remastered at the same time. Not that there's any intention to release it but at least it exists and has been preserved.

Re: That was then this is now
Whoa! Surely if they went to the effort of remastering it there was at least an inclination to release it at some point? Perhaps Mick wasn't up for it...would love to see Jones 001 set come to fruition.Marky Dread wrote: ↑20 Sep 2022, 4:36amIt's been mentioned that when Generation X had their first album remastered couple of years back Tony James had his copy of the London SS tape remastered at the same time.

Re: That was then this is now
Me too. But the purpose of getting it remastered at that point was so it could be paid for on the record companies money.motorsmell wrote: ↑20 Sep 2022, 7:07amWhoa!

Re: That was then this is now
Would the record company not have some kind of rider that gives them some control over the things they're paying to remaster?Marky Dread wrote: ↑20 Sep 2022, 8:09amMe too.

Re: That was then this is now
I'm sure they probably do. However it depends on who and where it's being remastered. I doubt anyone is sitting over the guys shoulder when he's remastering. So on the parent companies dime I expect many things for private use are done.Kory wrote: ↑29 Sep 2022, 6:28pmWould the record company not have some kind of rider that gives them some control over the things they're paying to remaster?Marky Dread wrote: ↑20 Sep 2022, 8:09amMe too.
