Innocence is no excuse Re-issue

[midnightrider]

Thanks for the news, Midnight - where did you get the info from?

I also read that G. Oliver had these recordings for 'Innocence'.

To be honest, I really like the original 'Innocence' album - it does suffer from that '80s curse of production sound, but the songs themselves are brilliant!

It would be great to hear a recording of the material in the way the band actually played them, though!

I've heard of this 'Innocence' recording for ages now, and have started to fear it was just a myth! It would be good to know if it actually exists or not!

I have it pre ordered at www.play.com it was due to be relea...day.Come on Biff how about it. :rock: :rock:

A Saxon boxset would be nice for the fans,not just a best of...(there's enough of them about)But something with loads of unheard of stuff,i'm sure they must have plenty of material that has'nt seen the light of day.Come on Biff how about it.

Sounds good to me!

It does sound good, don't it!

We've had 'Diamonds & Nuggets' (also called 'Coming To The Rescue') - that was a really decent, and interesting, release. But I'm sure there must be more unheard material out there! I think that this collection was just stuff that Graham Oliver found, so God knows what other members may have!
Does anyone know if any of the band's singles had B-Sides that were never placed on albums?

Innocence is no excuse was re-issued on a French Label, Axe Records about 2 years ago. Maybe this is a re-issue of a re-issue. Bonus Tracks were... Do it all for you and urm...

Not been home for a week so cant look it up....

 

[midnightrider]

I'm probably alone in thinking that Rock the Kuwations shouln't be re-released, dont like that album too much, but I does contain the most radio friendly track Saxon ever released... (Waiting For The Night)

Not a good album, and in reference to Northern Lady I much prefer the live version of Rock and Roll Gypsies (did I spell that right 'cos I've been drinking...)

I take it you wont be buying the Rock the Nations cd that i've just seen on e-bay going for twenty five quid then.

I would only act like this if Strong arm of the law was to be re-released (not the 2 cd set, only the original one).
So what's all this trouble with innocence? I Have the French remastered version with the bonus tracks for 2 years or so, will the songs be different? More Heavy? Anyway they can release it on 2050 i don't give a f#ck for this comercial bullshits.
