Hello to all of you who’ve recently become members of the Vanden Plas group that’s on Facebook. What a lovely looking bunch you are!
I also wanted to mention the team at Yew Tree Music (Claire, Jane, Debbie and Lisa) who tell me that the number of visits to their site has doubled since they released information about the reunion. It’s gratifying to know that there’s a real BUZZ in the air about VP reuniting again.
NOW. Do you want the good news or the bad news?
The BAD news is that our original master tapes haven’t stood the test of time and they’re in a very poor condition. Even with modern remastering techniques they couldn’t be restored. So, we’ve had to scrap the idea of a remastered re-issue album I’m afraid.
The GOOD news is that we’ve decided to re-record the old songs instead. So, “ON THE RISE” will still happen but it’ll now be 10 songs from our past, performed today. The 11th track will be the re-mixed version of Jon’s song “P.P”.
I can also exclusively reveal two of the ten tracks will be “Edge of Sanity” and “Iron into Gold” which will be familiar to the Graheme fans reading this!
