Post by ChuckI think Steve puts it best....... Hackett adds that, "I think we
should do this before one of us dieshttp://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_i...
"I think they're the ones there's possibly more anticipation for,"
Banks says. "These albums have a reputation but they probably didn't
sell as many in the first place, so there's a feeling that they have a

Seems Tony's finally 'come around' on this... he's reassessed. In
interviews from a few years back he often seemed rather dismissive of
the relevance of the band's earliest fans, as if they were but a small
contingent of a much larger whole. And maybe they still are
proportionally, as far as fans reliving the past via the reunion
concerts.... Seems he realizes it's more the 70's fans for whom their
music still means something,
that they're not as likely among those 'fair weather friends' that
fell away after the string of hits disappeared from the radio.

I'm glad I held off on that... in the last few months I was twice
tempted by seeing the old CD offered online for about $10.00
at a cheap price. - My copy of ACF is one of those few LPs I have
that, while occasionally played, has deteriorated to the point of
being almost unplayable now, for no apparent reason. Anyone else have
such LPs in their collection? SEbtP and Kansas Masque met a similar
fate.
