I do as I am told:

Hi

I just wanted to let you know the the Iron Curtain entire cat# is coming out on Pylon Records from Usa on October 23, if you can spread news for us that would be fantastic.

thanks for your time

cheers

This message I got via Myspace today.

Meanwhile I was told the track listing. The only “surprising” song is a live track from one of the tapes:

Tarantula Scream
First Punk Wars
The Condos
Love Can Never Die
Shadow
The Burning
Terror Story
Anorexia
Like A Family
Telephone
Legalize Heroin
The Condos- Live

weren’t there any rumors about vinyl re-releases ? :-(

I’m already happy that there will be a re-release.

(even if I prefer vinyl).

But to have the vinyl in decent quality it should be a double LP. Then I guess it would be more expensive to produce and harder to sell.

don’t think so…
there are enough vinyl maniacs around…

Too bad One december day wasnt included. Love that song to death!

... and all of them are here. And in the end vinyl sounds better…

I am happy that there is a rerelease at all. Although I would have preferred a double 12” set as well.

from steve…

it’s been great working with peter for this re-release. i’ve heard the master CD and it sounds good. there were many iron curtain songs that never made it to vinyl.  ‘one december day’, i’m recording again under the name cosmic love child. also ‘television saved my life’ will get an update. i hope to release these and some new songs on an album in about a year.

sounds great at all! 

hello,

not wanting to cause troubles, but wanted to speak out that Steve has had requests for releasing the material on vinyl - i never got a decent reply. then he asked me about distribution, i answered and asked back questions regarding the release ... and never got a reply ....

anyway, happy to see this release coming - for me no matter who releases it or in which format. will be happy to help selling over here - can i get a contact address ?

apologies

hi annalogue… sorry i dropped that conversation. i was pleased and overwhelmed by peter’s interest and decided to devote my energy to the new CD. I don’t know if he has plans to release vinyl yet. but i still think that would be a great limited edition.

Dear Steve,

many thanks for the kind reply and clearing this up. Will be happy to help distributing the CD and whatever will come (if similar sounding), even if my means are limited. If you have plans for a vinyl yourself, please let me know.

The cd was just listed at the Ideal copy.
