You can hear him to your hearts content if you buy these reissued vinyls in February

Probably more video and pics of him at conventions, and/or appearances at the musical if it actually happens in the USA. Apart from that, the only musical stuff I can see him doing with his back the way it is would be stuff he can sing while sitting and not getting too intensely into it - maybe a different type of music?

I really hope he does more conventions - I saw him at London back in July and he seemed to thrive on it; the interaction with the fans, the love he was receiving, and being on stage (for his excellent talk) in front of an enraptured audience again. I know he was still in pain then, but I hope it did him well. It would be great to see the same again this year, if nothing else.

I would not expect much except continuing to recover from his back issues and enjoying a well-earned rest. Of course knowing how he is he may be bouncing (extremely gently) off the walls wanting to do something related to performing. Maybe some convention appearances should his back permit him to. I know at one time he was looking for the best versions of some of his oldest songs but not sure what for. I don't see a huge amount of buyers for it to be honest.
I would love to see someway, somehow, if all of the rights issues could be sorted that his Live VH1 shows could be issued on the best quality format it would work on. |

WttN is listed as a single LP as well, where the original pressing had 2.

Apparently, Hits Out of Hell is being reissues on vinyl as well: https://www.bol.com/nl/p/hits-out-of...0000098804427/

I wonder if these reissues will actually come to fruition, and where the masters are taken from?

Personally, I'd like to see him do a concert where he just sits and sings! All the great ballads: FCOL, HCW, TOOT etc, etc. No theatrics, just Meat and his voice. It would be VERY different, but also very brilliant, in my humble opinion.

Or, as it's otherwise known, Storytellers.
Funnily enough, Meat was actually considering a show like this a couple of years back, if memory serves. |

If all this is possible - then I think we definitely agree that we're basically talking about "Old Man Storytellers" Last edited by stretch37; 10 Jan 2019 at 18:24. |

Well, yeah, I pretty much thought that was a given I wasn't talking about an identical reproduction of the storytellers show from 1998. Just the core concept.

Good - and somewhat surprising - news. Both the Bat II and WTTN vinyl re-releases are double disc. Fingers crossed that it's a good master from an analogue source, and I'll be very happy with that indeed. Coming Feb.
