my deepest of apologies for being out of touch for so long. you'll remember me (or not) as the guy who did the original lowlife site and was trying to get the mail-order thing off the ground in the states for brian ages ago. the one who came to scotland for a trip, met you guys for curry and drinks, and subsequently became good friends with cheg. incidentally, i think there's a photo of me and will at the curry place in falkirk here at this site (which is certainly a better one than my original version ever was!) i haven't been on these boards for awhile, simply because i haven't had a lot of free time and because i'm tragically out-of-sight, out-of-mind. when i don't visit or hear from someone for a while, i find it hard to get back into contact. sorry, it's a stupid quirk of mine. i do hope this note finds you, and finds you well.
anyway, the reason i'm writing is this: my (now)wife amy and i are trying to organize a trip back over sometime around the middle of the year to visit cheg and heather, and planned on trying to bring you a copy of the complete lowlife catalogue which, when last i visited the boards, you still needed. do you?
i haven't checked the discs in awhile, but they've moved with me from place to place. i'm hoping they aren't warped but i haven't had the heart to open the boxes yet. i should, in fact, have quite a few of the original vinyl copies. i'll bring over what i can when i come if you want them back. fell out of touch with brian ages ago after anoise annoys went the way to the dodo, or i'd have given them back to him directly.
i only ever listen to the backups i made for myself on cd (let me stress, *for myself*) so i'll be happy to part with half my original vinyl double collection i kept (doubled so that if anything ever happened to one copy...) so that you and/or will can have anything you don't have copies of (yes, including the black album vinyl.)
not sure if any of this floats your boat, perhaps you can e-mail me and let me know. if you are interested, i'll let you know as i get our plans together and maybe we can hook up for another drink, and i'll hand off the goods to you. otherwise, i'll just give 'em to cheg, knowing he'll bump into you eventually.
hope you're well. drop me a line sometime, and let me know if you're still in touch with will or, for that matter, brian.
WOULD LOVE TO GET OUR HANDS ON THEM SO WE CAN REMASTER THEM ALL AS BRIAN SEEMS TO HAVE LOST THE REAL DEAL WE NEED THEM FOR REISSUE LOVE CRAIG..........SEE YOU SOON.. WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER FOR A GOOD NIGHT..LOWLIFE.....
Good to hear from you, Craig. We should be there during May or June, so i'll bring you what i've got! More as it happens. Cheg says it's been a while since he's bumped into you, but we'll get in touch somehow.
Feel free to e-mail me through my e-mail if you want to move things off the boards: kevin@happyaccidents.net
Hi Craig !
I hope that you will be able to remaster all albums on CDs after Kevin has brought them to you but if you happen to have the BLACK ALBUM LP for sale I would be more than happy to pay what you want. I have all LOWLIFE and DEAD NEIGHBOURS lps and Cds all super extra mint conditon (one even still sealed) and I miss only the BLACK ALBUM ! I recently paid money for a burned copy on CD but You know I 'm almost 50 yrs old and Black Album will make my fifties happy !! Best
Maurizio
I'm one of the guys who tried to order Gush and the Black Album from your failed mail order venture a long long time ago. I thought the name Anoise Annoys was very apropos.
I'd be more than willing to take a Black Album off yer hands.
I DO NOT EVEN HAVE A COPY OF THE BLACK SHIT THERE WERE ONLY 250 PRESSED SO IF YA GOT ONE KEEP IT SAFE OR IN A SAFE AND TREASURE IT FOR WHAT IT IS ....A PEACE OF PLASTIC................LOVE CRAIG.
