On February 15 we will release a 2 CD version of BLUE HAWAII in our classic album series (see track listing below).
FTD will also be producing a strictly limited edition 2-disc vinyl edition of BLUE HAWAII. A separate newsletter will be circulated soon.
On March 15 we will follow up with a 2CD version of STANDING ROOM ONLY. As you know the album never came out, and it's possible that the version we create was never meant to be, but it's the best way we can present the Las Vegas masters from February of 1972 and the masters and outtakes from the March 1972 sessions at RCA.
We are planning two more CDs for the first half of 2009, and at this time we have scheduled them for mid-April and mid-May.
