There i was, looking forward to n/o's 1998 peel sessions being on cd for the first time, then what do we get..just another disappointment from strange fruit :(. i only hope we don't get the same sort of disappointment with the recycle boxset..shit..there's a horrid thought!
what if the recycle boxset is a huge disappointment? (eg. it cotains just a load of remixes and only about 3 b-sides!)
i think i've just found out why strange fruit are releasing this shoddy "before and after" cd.
i've checked all the major uk cd sites (hmv, amazon.co.uk etc) and they don't have the cd listed at all. yet it's listed on all the majour american cd sites.
when i went to amazon.com (the u.s. site) i found that both new order's glasto 87 cd and joy division's complete bbc recordings were listed as imports, and this made them more expensive.
so my guess is, is that strange fruit are making this before+after cd an american only release, so that people who want to buy the n/o glasto+j/d bbc cds won't have to fork out a load of cash for the uk imports.
am i right? (that'll be a first time :D) or have i got this completely fucking wrong as usual? lol :stupid:
Well I mailed them. I just dont think they get it???
I asked about the 98 peel sessons And the fact nobody likes this new cd And I showed them this form.
There response was this:
"Our Peel session album is from 81/82 and was released in 2000."

Bravo! I guess you're right on that one. That would also explain the "fuel 2000" label (never heard of it: american indie label, maybe?). Strange Fruit: you are forgiven!
