Really cool videos, thanks.
And one question to Terry: will the
One Small Voice remaster get international distribution? Now I know it's not going to happen by just snapping your fingers but I thought I'd ask... it's a Metal Blade record and they've done some really nice reissues lately so maybe there's a possibility? That's an awesome album and well deserving of a "second chance".
Here's hoping we'll hear from HA in the future as well...
Thanks for your comments.
Metal Blade had the chance to reissue "One Small Voice" back in 2000, in advance of our trip to play Wacken. I'd offered to remix the whole album and include the extra tracks, but they couldn't find the Master Tapes (!!!!).
So, I did the next best thing with what was available... I dumped the CD into my computer, double-tracked the guitar parts in a few songs that were lacking balls in the original mix, and cleaned the tape hiss from the old cassette that contained the two extra songs that weren't included on the original release. I also did some digital editing and remastering to improve the overall sound, as well as create new artwork/graphics.
To make a long story short, I was supposed to be paid $2500 for my work, as well as finally get my Songwriting/Publishing credits rightfully restored from the illegal Trademark/Tradename/Copyright/Breach of Contract coup that took place in 1989.... (of which Metal Blade wrongfully supported). I'd won my suit in 1990.
But, Brian Slagel and his attorney decided to change the terms of the agreement at the last minute in May of 2000, trying to designate my payment as an advance against royalties, after I'd taken a month off work to do everything in good faith... par for the course. Fucking snakes.
So, here the reissue sits... I offer my work from the Heir Apparent website, making each one by hand as orders come in.
I guess bootlegs are out there too...
If some company actually follows through with reasonable and fair terms, there's a good chance that the remastered "One Small Voice" can finally get international distribution... we'll see.
