Thanks for the update mate...will await David's comments on the status of Suncity Records. I hope david has a change of heart and releases the Merri Hoaxx a lot of fans of Cats and Boots are looking forward to it's release.

I guess it will be any time soon for history to be made by Retrospect Records.

Cool...let the buying begin...lol.!!!

Your not doing digipaks or mini-LP's are you? Is Retrospect going to put the songs titles on the actual CD? Is it going to be silver pressed? Well since there were no answers to my questions, I'll hold on to my original and pass on this. we are not doing digipaks or mini-lp's -- they will all be silver pressed discs. Jillson will have 7 bonus tracks including 4 off the original Jillson ep and 3 from recordings a few years after (which are killer by the way!) -- just finished remastering the Deadly Girl CD -- which i have to say, kicks ass. I see some people talking trash about this CD on the Jillson comments page but man you gotta be deaf to not like this CD. The songs have great hooks, the production is really good, the drums and guitars sound great and Tommy's (Don) vocals just kill. This is absolutely an essential CD to any melodic rock fan. I am just really glad to finally make this CD affordable so a lot more people can enjoy it. Now i don't mean to be a dick here, but I am so tired of elitist collectors having "bragging rights" because they have one of the rarest CD's in the world. Well i am determined to make ALOT of cd's NOT so rare so that your average joe can actually afford it. Dare i say that maybe one day, Retrospect CD's will be collector's items!! LOL.....peace!! Aaron...I fully agree...will definitely pick up the Jillson cd...gonna push the Demand button on this one.

Damn....I will be hitting the Demand button for the cd...talked to Darin of Nemesis...and he was under the impression a cd would be released...and also is a supporter in cd's over digital. on premium releases there will no doubt be a CD release. Nemesis, Crystal Project, Jillson, and others will all definitely have a CD release as i am confident of their success. But others are crapshoots. I pressed up 500 copies of a few titles several years ago and i still have plenty leftover -- for whatever reason - some titles just don't "take off". I believe in them, but others judt don't gravitate to them like i did. An example of this would be the Naked City and Trexel releases which i thought were really good, but have not sold very well. Not sure why, but i understand that everyone has different tastes. I just want to be sure i am investing in the right release before i sink a bunch of money into pressing CD's. I hope this helps to clear things up. We are days away from a huge launch on Retrospect!! Thanks to everyone who continues to support our artists and our vision of preserving great 80s music! Aaron Soundz great for me Aaron...will definitely pick up the Nemesis, Crystal Project,...and also the Americade Box set..Ironclad..Cutthroat..XLR8 and the killer Tracer Fox cd.. I can see your point..as a few titles will not sell....but the PREMIUM bands such as the ones I mentioned will DEFINITELY sell well as a cd. Rock On!!!!

Also interested in the VIP Members club...I have helped a few bands on your label get signed...and want to be part of the VIP membership club...sounds awesome and also being on a mailing list. Great job my friend and keep signing those bands....oh get that Cowboy X CD out,,,talked to Dave..and it is definitely going to happen...!

Sam...maybe you can talk to Joel on releasing the Merri Hoaxx stuff and even the Kidd Havok new cd???

We are having big problems here in Canada with our postal service and Strike...can't get anyhting in or out. I shipped a cd through E-BAY and it is stuck in the mail system...also have packages in the system and some on order....get them back to WORK!! If the strike happened during our coldest month Jan/Feb where it goes to -30c -40c they would be back to work in FLASH. Hope they go to a 3 day mail delivery service...Mon/Wed/Fri.

Hey Sam Pretty hard to pick 3...I like a lot of the releases in the past...but here are my 6. i like a cd package with pix...history of the band....a booklet is nice with the cd. Megaton Blonde Big Trouble Whitefoxx Midnight Hero Gunner Sixx-Desire Pretty Boy-Metro Sessions

Hi MBUTT See my message above yours. I have been trying to contact Davisd to no avail. Even had Andrew at Melodicrock.com and he has heard nothing. the Suncity Website is off line. i sent numerous messages to David ...NOTHING. I contacted Scot who is in Kidd Havok...he has not heard form David in months..the songs are gonna go on itunes. I also heard from Joel Ellis of Cats and Boots and Merri Hoaxxx...he has not heard from David in several months. Joel is releasing his catalogue..and the Merri Hoaxx on Demon Dolls Label...good luck in getting David to message you.

The Rattleshake....is gonna be huge...heard a few songs by this band ...and fans are gonna flip once this is out...far better than a lot of the other Eonian releases. I am also waiting for the YoungBlood cd....heard some songs and another killer release....

Got my TNA and Sandra Dee...TNA is killer stuff and Sandra Dee is not bad either. Any one know what is up with Eonian on their next scheduled releases??????

Agree this cd ROCKS!!!!!!

I would rather have the cd's also....so put me down for a cd on the July 4th cd releases...definitely want Nemesis..Crystal Project on cd....hate digital downloads...I would perfer to have the cd..artwork inserts photos!!

Hey Aaron/Sam Any clarification on the above message I assume a cd format will also be released. Also what titles will be coming out on July 4th?
