Isn't this a bit silly? I am sure in time if the band wish to release the tracks, judging by the last few months, they will. I'm not sure that a petition is the best way of getting them released, maybe if you kidnap Mick then it maybe it might speed up the process or you could offer to sing the complete (released) ATF back catalog outside the Houses of Parliment standing on a crushed ABBA album. That may speed up the release.

Other than that, please Pete, if you consider we aught to know what we are missing, when the new ATF2 CD is finished, put them out on an intoductory offer - like with the latest release.

OK, yes I have had some silly ideas and dreams too. I wasn't having a go at anyone, maybe I too was having abit of fun.

I had a silly dream for 20 years, in May my dream will come true.

Ah, better step in and stop the handbags at dawn prospect!!!

One of the plans is to release the 1982 demos in full. This will be a commercial release, the working title is 'Leftovers'. There will be some bonus tracks, too, on the theme of 'Building Batteries', demos created before the band went out to Munich to record the album proper to make up the time on the CD and give excellent value.

However, these are relatively low priority compared to the current new recordings linked to the Christian Aid Trade Justice campaign. Also before 'Leftovers' comes out we plan to release the DVD 'You had to be there' from the GB04 set.

So there you have the current facts as of today!

Subject to change, whims and discretion!
