Cat Food Again & Again
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Sun., Jun 16, 2013
My thanks to Sean Hollenhors for sending me this undated advert for Cat Food. Almost certainly a photoshop fake but with copy such as "taking tabby mountain by flavour" what’s not to like?



DGMLive visitor Royston adds "Hmm. The Seventies were strange enough times that the Purina Eno ad could actually be genuine. Judging by the expiry date on the coupon, it’s from 1974 (or purports to be), which is of course consistent with the album references. Well, it would be, wouldn’t it?

For those who want a copy for their wall or simply in order to read the text, there’s a hi-res version. "

More On Belew
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Jun 10, 2013

As FinnegansWake points out "Great to see Ade getting this international coverage. Wouldn't it be nice to think they'll spend as much energy writing about Belew's new project. No. didn't think so"

Red Vinyl Update
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Sun., Jun 9, 2013
There's been a delay with the production of the hotly anticipated vinyl edition of Red. Here's what Panegyric have said about the glitch.

Apologies to those of you who were expecting to have received your copy of this by now but it has been held up due to unforeseen circumstances.

The King Crimson 200gram vinyl series is well respected among vinyl lovers.

DGM has a brilliantly maintained archive of master tapes & artwork . Loud Mastering do a wonderful job with the cutting of each vinyl release & Vinyl Factory are one of the few plants who can manufacture 200gram vinyl to the standard that buyers expect from such releases.

All of these processes take time & while we started on this release back in February - fully expecting to meet a late April/early May release date, that just hasn't been possible due to delays in the manufacturing process.

Any such delays are always disappointing but, we'd rather get it right - even if that means getting it later than initially anticipated.

The good news is that we are expecting to start receiving finished pressing within the next two weeks - allowing a further week to ten days to get the product to distributors/mail order warehouse etc. & the vinyl should be heading for individual customers at the start of July - almost thirty-nine years to the day since recording commenced on this very special album.

Thanks for your patience.
