Vain - All Those Strangers gets limited release

[Geoff]

Are they making one last album?

 

If so I hope they return to a sound similar to the first three cds.

 

For me now they are just like lillian axes new material each release contains only a couple of tracks I like.

 

I thought that On the Line was a huge return to form after the more trippy Fade(which I love) and Davy's solo disc. It's not all the way back to the debut it's a good combo of the first three discs IMO.

I think style-wise it is very much traditional Vain, and I do like the album a lot. But there's no doubting that the actual song quality really isn't on par with those first three albums. Davy's ear for an amazing hook was so evident on the first three albums... as much as I enjoy 'On the line' I still struggle to remember the standout tracks, whereas I could hum every single chorus melody off the first three albums right now.

Vain Cd

 

Looked like frontiers will sell this, I assume from pic they are handling distribution for Davey Vain.

 

I got it reasonably priced but I don't think it's fair to say limited to 500 then watch people pay more than they would just to get a copy then it comes out everywhere.

 

My cd from amazon is labelled 1006 too.

Well that's just great I'm sure they'll remaster it and include a cool booklet like they did with Keel's The Right to Rock. Now I'll have to buy this again.

Wow, that is crazy. Would love to hear a report from someone who gets this, who also has the one we've all just bought. Surely (I hope) it'll be exactly the same, just with the Frontiers logo on the back?

This CD is looking to be like the rush to get an iPhone only to have a new version appear a few months later.

Somewhere in the blurb it said Artist label, so i think it will be identical.

 

The price of the cd at amazon UK is much cheaper than any site could offer a new frontiers release in the UK

 

Here you can buy roughly 2 commercial pop/dance/r n b albums for the price of one melodic rock release

 

I just think it sucks that it forced fans who couldnt see the band to buy it quickly as they thought it was a limited edition from musicbymail which wasn't exactly cheap or worse still ebay when it sold for over double the price sold at amazon.

Yes. It is a shame the price was expensive to start. Now it is being distributed all over. Good thing I did not buy it first time.

1006 is the matrix number on my CD, I think they're all like that. I picked my copy up from the gig at the end of last year. Well I'm glad that there are more copies so people can get hold of it, but it sucks that they initially said it was limited.

So glad to have this, waited so long for an official release.

 

Only my second purchase of the year, first was Lover - Just getting started (I would never imagine I would buy loverboy cd but this is great).
