Hi Syd & Everyone.
Man you took the words out of my mouth, guess what I bought
today, that very same C.D. I thought "No,it can't be" but it sure is,
I really got duped thinking it was the Doobs, what a
disappointment.
Please, everyone else beware of this
C.D.
As Syd say's, this states on the cover that this is the material
re-recorded by some of the original members.
Syd, read the first line of
the sleeve notes,"When Dan Hartman
and Tom Johnston were introduced".
Need I
say more.
Take care all,
Tony Rowley
Leicester, England.
Hello Syd Scott here again,
The other day I was browsing in my local
record store when I came across an album called 'Listen To The Music' (not
to be confused with the excellent European Warners collection). Anyway, the
listing had some unfamiliar tracks from those normally on Doobies
compliations (Wynken, Hangman) - thought it might be some kind of promo for
the box. Well, I am one of those sad people who purchase these things, even
if I have got the tracks a hundred times!.
The point of this e-mail is to warn you
about it - THIS IS NOT THE DOOBIES. It is on a label called Brilliant(?) and
marketed by Digimode Entertainments (ECC). The cover contains a photo of the
band circa 1976/77. It states
that these are new recordings by original members of the band.
They are bad covers with poor production values. Blackwater
is hilariously bad. However, this is no laughing matter. Hot on the heels of
the illegal copying controversy comes this. I don't know whether the album
is associated with the legal proceedings last summer in Florida or if this
is just a bunch of imposters. I think Laurin should notify the Doobs so that
legal action can be taken. I will mention this to the retailer at lunch
today.
Just thought you should know.
Cheers,
Syd
Scott
