Manticore Records

[Karnevil9]

As Cherry Red have roumered to have acquired the entire MANTICORE RECORDS catalogue, i'm looking forward to new issues of PFM & ELP albums..One thing i hope Cherry don't do which Castle did is Include the track ''When the apple Blossom Blooms'' as bonus on Brain Salad Surgery' CD..Please keep this off as it belongs to the 'Works' era & has no place with this album..

So then what are the proposed Bonus tracks on the 2CD Sinfields 'Still' album?? Maybe the recording of Lake & Sinfield performing ''Still'' live on radio??

Will their be any bonus stuff proposed for PFM ' Photo's Of Ghosts', 'World Became The World' & 'Chocolate Kings'?..I'll pass on 'Jet Lag'!

I have to disagree with you Karnevil 9 - 'When the Apple Blossom Blooms' is not Works era but was recorded in the same sessions as Brain Salad Surgery (I still have the 7" of Jerusalem (A-side)/When the Apple Blosssom Blooms (B-side) from '73) - Works Vol. 2 was largely thrown together from pre-existing stuff recorded between '73 and ''76.

As far as other Manticore releases are concerned I'm glad to see 'The World Became The World' finally released (I already have 'Photos', 'Cook', 'Chocolate Kings' and 'Jet Lag' (-wasn't that keen on JL on vinyl but have grown to love it on CD) from trips to Italy), but would love to see releases of 'Banco' and 'As In A Last Supper' (just picked up the Italian version 'Come In Un Ultima Cena' last summer) by Banco - I'm fed up of my worn out vinyl on the intro to 'Chorale (from Traccia's Theme)'.

you will be glad to know the Banco albums will follow at some point in the next few months
