So

So

Now in a remastered and repackaged form.

"There were a number of reasons why we decided to do the re-masters. We had the opportunity now with much better technology to get things sounding better and I know there's certain records that I've done in the past that I've always felt we could get more out of."

"Quite a few of the later albums of the, perhaps the richer textured albums have benefited from the work, but also the second album, for instance, I think sounds a lot of better now than it did previously."

"This whole process of re-mastering has changed quite a lot partly because the equipment, and the centre of that is the part that converts analogue to digital which is sort of music into numbers and that equipment has got much better and less digital sounding."

"Dickie Chappell my engineer and Tony Cousins who was working at Metropolis I think spent probably two months on this process, I had about a couple of weeks there myself."

"It's now much easier to put together and manipulate digitally than it was in the past but at the end of the day if you put the original against what we've just done with this re-mastering I think anyone can hear the difference."

"We have a wonderful designer working with us, Marc Bessant. <French accent> Marc Bessant from Portishead, near Bristol <laughs> and he's done a fantastic job I think working on these records and he's taken some of the artifacts of the of the time, the tape boxes and photos and trawled through acres of old archive stuff."

"Part of the search for material was a sort of call for help from old friends, musicians, fans, anyone we knew that really had stuff that we might be able to use and Larry Fast was a great cameraman on a lot of the early tours and Tony Levin has some great photos which were a lot of fun to look back at and Jerry Marotta had a good selection of things and some of the more humorous items and then on the professional photographer side the pictures were provided by Armando Gallo and Phil Kaman and Mick Smith had a wonderful collection of scrap books which we raided."
