And this is totally out there, but I wanted to type it out before I forgot.
The bookset would include a third disc, an all-star set exploring loss and coping.
For instance:
Derri and Steve doing an acoustic version of "Hey Gene"
Randy Stonehill doing "Grandfather's Song" and "Sing In Portuguese"
Mike doing a Dogs-like stripped down version of "Don't This Way"
Each performer could contribute a written statement on their song, or even eulogize if they'd like. Think of it as a cathartic experience through words, art and song and call the whole thing "Here And Now".
Anyone into this?

Here you go boys, these are my picks for what I'd like to see for 2004.
"Horrendous Disc Sessions" collection
- The Making of Mr Buechner's Dream DVD
- The DA history compilation DVD (1970s-present day)
Would the DA history compilation contain the "10 Songs"?
What exactly does the HD Sessions contain?
How long is the Making of MBD?
Finally, what would it take to get DA (the whole band) to play at Cornerstone.
How about an Amos & Randy night at Cornerstone?

Apart from Imaginarium (which I have) I'll buy the lot of what you suggest above.

Well, the Horrendous Disc era has a lot of unreleased material,
demos, and stuff. Similar to the stuff on Shirley Goodness and misery
and No Sense of History.
The making Of Buechners DVD... we have 6 hours of footage to
edit down to something watchable. We also have a semi-pro
video of the first time they perfomed songs from it live, which would be
nice to put on the end.
The Jubals Last Band demo tape we got from one of the old band members,
it's from a cassette so quality wise it's not great but historically
it's extremely cool.
I personally like the idea of the Knowledge and Breifing bookset,
but booksets cost a lot and it would need to be done extremely well
with a good budget.
We sent Terry a note about that suggestion, and told him about this
thread.. so keep discussing. It's ultimately up to him and the guys,
but getting the ideas floating around helps in the inspiration process.
Terry also has ideas on what he would like to put out.

to have Briefing re-issued. I long for a copy of that album and don't have it. That would be sweet. As for all the other ideas, in one word:
YES!

1. I like a lot of where you're going with this:
- Jubal's Last Band Recordings: YES
- "Daniel Amos" reissue: NO, already own it
- "Horrendous Disc Sessions": YES
- The Making of Mr Buechner's Dream DVD: YES
- The DA history compilation DVD: YES
- DA at Cornerstone 2000 DVD: YES
- Another book set of some kind... YES
- Imaginarium reissue... NO, already own it
- Mothman soundtrack....YES
FYI I will buy reissues I already own if another track or two is thrown in, or even a digital remaster.
2. BFtA: I have the CD, but all the dialog from the cassette is cut out. You know, Mr. Borthwick goes to the gallery, etc. I liked it, it helped it to flow. I would definitely buy the reissue if this part was restored and maybe an extra track added.
3. How about another CD of TST/DA-related tracks that didn't make it to a bona fide DA recording, such as other unreleased tracks from Terry, DA, Crime Horse, Eddies, plus Strong Hand of Love and other odds and ends? Are there any things left in "Ed's garage" or some other cache?
4. Are there other things that would have a better ROI than begging a % from Bud Killen? EX: the Stunt site shows some recordings I've been interested in for some time (Live bootleg, K&I special edition, SG&M/NSoH). Does Stunt wholly own them and can it return a healthy %?
5. How about a book of Terry musings, including some of the articles I've found on the web from time to time? My wife and I really liked Terry's contribution to City on a Hill last year.
6. Fan club: I renewed not too long before the cutoff, and so I don't expect to receive anything for a while. But can you give us a reminder to renew (or an automatic) and more importantly more reasons to renew, so the store can get some recurring income?
Stupid question: why a new Eddies and why not a new DA? I would be willing to help fund this same as I did with MBD.
Thank you J&E for asking. It's always exciting to hear this kind of news.

Not sure where the inspiration for a possible new Eddies record
came from... I think its probably more just wanting to do something
different than the last major project. Terry may post and answer
on that...
With the fan clubs... yes, we hope - if the clubs continue - to make
them a little more exciting for members... thats part of what we've
been discussing with Mike & Terry lately. There have been a lot of
problems with the way the clubs were done... basically before, we
were "lucky" to get it done the way were were doing it. It was a
miracle if we had enough discs for everyone when a new club release
came out... it was another miracle if we had enough money to ship
them all out... it was a third miracle if we lived through the process of
putting all of the covers together by hand without a major case of
carpal tunnel. Even if we accomplished all of the above, there
would be almost zero chance that the clubs wouldn't slow everything
else down (as it did this last summer and fall).
We're trying to come up with a way where we can not only offer
club members something a little more exciting, but also make
the entire system a little faster and more stable.
Theres even a chance that we'll have a "fan club staff"... a group
of volunteers that will help run all of that stuff. We have several
people that are willing to step in and help out if thats what
Mike & Terry decide to do.
Keep the new release dialogue going folks... its definitely
giving us some ideas.

Oh and to answer a previous question, there are things
that can be released. Demos, studio recordings, live stuff
that has not already leaked out too much. We personally are aware
of some, but I am sure theres stuff we don't even know about.
We kinda have our personal opinion of what we would like to see and
what we think everyone would enjoy. Your comments will help refine
and focus what direction we go and what we spent time working toward.
I am sure Terry and the guys will be interested in what everyone says too,
they maybe with family this week.
And the Mothman stuff basically depends on Doug TenNapel and what
he is doing and what he wants to help us with on the soundtrack.
They had suggested putting out the soundtrack at the same time
as the Movie.

I'll keep you in my prayers, Captain. |

Yeah, all these ideas are very tempting but I have to quote Knott on this one:

Well it's still early all these things are in pre-planning stages.
And if we print most of them, we would do them nice, so we would
have plenty. Right now, we'd be in the same financial boat everyone
else is in.

Nothing much new to add, but I'll weigh in... |
|
I would be really interested in everything that was mentioned with one exception (more on that in a minute).
1. "Daniel Amos" re-issue - This would be the number one priority for me. It is the one major release that I have yet to obtain (being that ebay always gets beyond my willingness to reach, or I'm unable to join in the last-minute bidding frenzy).
2. Everything else would have me visiting my local webstore....
3. Oh, yeah - the exception - that would be "Imaginarium" (as I already own it. However - there are two ways to entice a second purchase:
1) (Most obviously) - new tracks
2) Include a copy of the game(s) for PC. I know that Neverhood is the only one thae was released for a PC, but still, it's an idea (of course there's that whole messy issue of TenNapel getting a cut of the action...oh well)
That's my two cents worth.
I'm eagerly awaiting news of what will be.

I really like the idea of DVDs (although I listen to CDs much more than watch DVDs.) The Lost Dogs DVD is great, and I also like the extras with the interviews.
An MBD DVD would be right up my alley--I love this album, and I'd love to know more about how it was conceived, made, and other info.
Other DVDs like the C2K concert and a retrospective DVD would be excellent. For the retrospecticve DA DVD, I recommend it be titled "Memory Lane: a Travelog."
If you are looking for a low tech, easy to produce CD, I would recommend a "books on tape"-like CD recording of Terry reading the full story for "When Everyone Wore Hats." I love this bookset and the story. I love hearing Terry read it.
How many demo recordings do you all have? If you have enough demos and rough edits of songs, I think it would be great to put out an album called "Demo." Terry's stripped down versions of songs are excellent.
Overall, I am really happy to see Terry and the boys continuing to put out more work. I know that some of us get impatient (like me) waiting for new stuff to come out, but the reality is I have more Terry, DA, LD, and SE CDs than any other group or singer. Terry Scott Taylor is truely one of the most prolific songwriters and performers of our time. I can't think of any other artist who puts out more consistently good and original work as does TST.
I'm looking forward to new projects and new releases, whether they be older things finding the light or new things. It's all good!
Thanks to those who work hard to keep the music coming.
