HIGHWIRE AUDI0 CD

[Steve Epstein]

Here's the poop on the Audio CD of Highwire / St. Louis.
This audio CD has been available on Eagle Rock in Europe for a while..

It will be released on the Hot Tomato Label in Nortrh America on April 20th.. In the next 2 weeks you will be able to pre-order the item throuh the Little Feat Merchandise pages of the band's web site.

Several points to be noted.. the artwork on the Euro and North American Releases are a bit different.. the songs are the same.. and there are no additional tracks that are not onthe DVD...

Pre-orders will get shipped with a bonus.. so look for info on this in the Feat Mail news letter. If you are not signed up for Feat Mail.. or are not sure if you are on the active list.. cruise on by to www.littlefeat.net and sign up...

Can't help wondering...

Will there be any bonuses in terms of sleevenotes. packaging etc for the Hot Tomato edition? I'm surprised we in Europe had the unique privilege of getting it before North America, it seemed to arrive pretty much unnoticed.

One quibble: having compared the CD and DVD track lists, why has Voices On The Wind of all songs been omitted from the CD? IMHO the live Feat albums have too many songs in common (Ripe & Raw notwithstanding) and it is a shame that one of the more well worn ones (e.g. Fat Man, Cajun Girl) could not have been withheld in its favour. I know no two Feat shows are alike but there are fewer live albums than shows so... bit of variety guys?

Stay cool

umm.. Voices is on the DVD cover .. but that's it.. it is not on the DVD either... we all scratch our head ... wondering wehy the heck they did not correct the cover art..

As for the early release in the UK.. that's becuase it was financed by Eagle Rock.. a UK firm.. my guess is that they got some sort of exclusive release period..

As for additional liner info for the US releae.. I don't know.. I will checjk with band mangement and repost the info..
