It seemed that an early version of Europe After The Rain only appeared on the film's soundtrack as a linking piece. Again, did you come across (in good or poor audio quality) this recording or any of the others on that tape? Did you find John's copy of this? There's surely more to The Garden era than meets the eye. For what I hope are very obvious reasons I'm not going to start detailing the contents of Johns tape archive. Rob

Other material will remain in the archive for obvious reasons, in that there's no need to release it, especially stuff that isn't finished or up to standard. Let's not demand an mile when given an inch. I'm sure that we will be very impressed with every additional track, which will nicely "complete" each album.

The basic outlines for that Ken told me about last week, and it was reflected in his post on the forthcoming reissues thread: http://www.metamatic.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000017;p=3 It is a mixture of the things he hinted towards and deliberately did not bring up in the post. I for one am happy with whatever is released; I don't have the luxury to complain.

[/b] No, I don't understand either. Perhaps someone (Ken or Maryann?) would like to tell me? Rob

I saw this reference and wondered the same thing Obviously and understandably some information etc shouldn't be broadcast here, but when it can't even be shared with Rob??
