Stewart Copeland Box Please

[Larissa]

Sheesh, I take a year off from this site and it turns in to a free-for-all.

*waves* I've been lurking y'all, don't you worry.

^Hahahahahaha.

Instead of a box, we could work on this material project by project, that means a dvd in one month, and six months later another one, etc...

You know, Boss, with so much always given away for free through this site, I personally don't think it would be unreasonable to also charge a couple of bucks for such things to recoup the costs of the work and keep this site going. Full shows, etc., are a lot of work to edit and package. If you were to cut out the shipping costs/issues (especially for international) and make each big project available as a digital download with electronic artwork, you could charge a small fee based on what it is or the length or rarity or whatever. (Smaller bits could still go into the Vault for free.)

Others would have to chime in as well about that willingness to pay, of course. No one here is flush. But IMO, $5 (as an example) here for a DVD or there for a CD 6-12 months later doesn't seem exorbitant or like it would kill anyone -- and people would always have the option not to buy something. You wouldn't pull in a million like Louis CK did, but for the cost of a specialty coffee, each of us would get some cool material once or twice a year, while you guys would get, in aggregate, help to cover hosting fees and such.

That's my 2 cents anyway. Would such a thing sound reasonable to the rest of you guys?

What our Flagmistress says. A few bucks here and there would be a small price to pay for the gems offered. My 2 cents.

I've been gone so long I've forgotten what my avatar is...let's see...

Edit: ahahaha holy crap it HAS been a long time. :p

Now, I'm afraid every post now will turn into a 'panties'-discussion...hm...it would be curious to know the opinion of who's gonna visit this place for the first time.

> a re-release of Klark Kent's complete 1978-80 back catalogue with an extra CD of alternate versions and outtakes.
That's what I have asked to Stewart a few times in the past...that would be more than amazing. I will keep on reminding him about.

> Derangements official release?
Beyond what was already released through the 'Everyone Stares' dvd, there is no chance at all they will be officially released; and by the way, that's not Stewart stuff, but The Police material, and that means it is owned by EMI Publishing. Too many corridors to walk to see them released officially, considering it's a big deal that would see too many parties involved (the three members of the band, their managements, the publishers, etc...). By now the answer is no (for what I know). Too bad, as Stewart did an amazing job!

I had to read that twice to make sure you didn't say there were "too many panties involved".

That would definitely be awesome, given how difficult it is to get the Kollected Works cd today. Have you seen what they currently go for on the used/second-hand market (http://www.amazon.com/Kollected-Works-K ... B000008OIT)? There is definitely a demand for it. Perhaps with a bonus DVD of the few KK music videos? Collectible booklet with the singles artwork?

I think we definitely went " comando " on the panties discussion

ooooo like that idea

Wow! $100 for Kollected. I have the feeling some coughing might be happening somewhere on this one.

Tho several Nutters have made awesome B-side discs to rival it, frankly.

You have no idea how crazy I'm going because I can't come up with a single panty pun. I have a sheet of paper with every term I can think of, and words that rhyme. Maybe that's a little too much information.

All I can think of was the interview where Sting rewrote King Of Pain...

There's a little brown stain on my underwear
It's the same old stain that's always there
I've used clorox with bleach, tide and sunlight too
What do I have to do, to get rid of this....

I think that was it
