Rudimentary Peni Remasters - what is going on??

Anyone know what the vast delay is in releasing the rest of the Rudimentary Peni remasters on Southern Records? It's been almost three years and nothing has been released since the Death Church remaster!

I use to talk to John Loder when he was still alive (he passed away on August 12, 2005) and I really miss his charm and kindness.

Thanks!

 

Dunno but I emailed Southern about these years ago before they started and while they took a while to get back to me they were pretty forthcoming. It might be worth shooting them an email.

I guess I just assumed they ended the reissues at that point in their career. They’re great reissues though, almost as nice as the Crass ones.

 

They were great reissues and so were the C.R.A.S.S. ones, too! I agree.

Just wondering what the delay is on the rest since they did have test pressings of them shown on the Southern website!

 

Didn’t realize they had pics up. Strange.

 

It's quite strange.

The really strange thing is that a UK label named Sacred Bones is releasing all of the pre-Rudimentary Peni releases on LP for the very first time!

Wow. Cool. Thanks. I wish they did CD versions.

 

Yeah! I completely agree! But, still....

An unreleased track by The Magits is a gift in itself!

 

Looks like the Southern Death Church and Cacophony releases are getting harder to come by already. Very sad!

 

What really saddens me is the "no response" that I have gotten about both the rest of the Peni remasters (such as The EPs of RP) and the C.R.A.S.S. remaster of Best Before (which was supposed to be expanded, as well) from Southern Records. I used to communicate with John Loder of Southern back between the late 1980's and late 1990's and he helped me set up interviews with both vocalist/guitarist/artist Nick Blinko (in 1992) and bassist Grant Matthews (in 1995) over the phone when I interviewed both for fLiPSiDE Fanzine.

I don't believe that John Loder would have allowed Southern Records to turn into what it has become in the modern era. He was such an honest guy!

 

Any chance you’d be willing or able to share those interviews?

 

The print portion of the interviews will be released when the book that I am working on (regarding my punk rock years at CSUN 1984-1988 and fLiPSiDE Fanzine interview period 1990-1999) is completed and released. I am presently looking for a publisher. The audio portion, however, will have to be converted from micro-cassette to digital and will be available for download once the book is completed. Stay in touch with me!
