    Does anyone know if Eleven Women will have a vinyl release?

    I highly doubt it. It barely got a CD release. I believe it's Australia only and not cheap or easy to find in the US.

    I get the impression that Steve is not the least bit interested in formats, he just wants to get the music out there in the easiest way.

    The CD was $20 AUS, and the shipping to the UK was going to be another $20 AUS, I have passed on this so far and have made do with the streams on Apple.

    Yes. It's too bad his music doesn't get wider distribution. I would buy everything, if it was locally available. Usually these would be the items I would stock up on at the merchandise table when they tour. Who knows when that will be?

    Did anyone pick up the RSD “Gold Afternoon Fox” LP this weekend? Curious about how it sounds.

    Sound is ok, vinyl is rather orange.

    Better than the Starfish green vinyl but that is a really low bar.

    So not better sound then the original? What a shame. And orange?!

    I don't have the original so I cannot offer that comparison. I'm glad to have it as the pressing is respectable.

    I'm guessing it is cut from the most recent (squashed) CD remasters.

    That's a fair guess but the reissue is on the Arista label which might suggest otherwise.

    I ordered it just to compare with my original. I would think if a company were going through this and pressing a limited quantity for a special RSD, that they would have remastered it. Am i just super naïve?

    Yeah, but it's sweet because you're hoping for the best outcome for the listener. I'm sure your original won't be bested.

    If that's the case, it should sound pretty good. My OG Arista is nice.

    Yep. Took a shot at Seance when I saw it in a record store which carried imports, and have never looked back. Still remain fully in love with their 80's incarnation, still haven't found any other bands which do what they did, other than perhaps Ride.

    I picked up my orange vinyl copy yesterday along with 14 other LP's, so it might be a while until I give it a spin and comparison to my original promo copy of GAF, which I've had since Jan. 1990. It sounds pretty good being an early stamper, but the production on most of GAF never sounded very good due to the robotic drum machine feel on many tracks.

    So, sadly, it seems that Starfish is the only reissue Intervention is willing to touch. I just wish we could have proper lp reissues of Seance, Heyday and Priest.

    Wonder when we’ll get a new church album? They were working on it after peter left.

    Hopefully next year.

    I was very surprised to see on FB that Steve is doing an album launch gig in Sydney for Eleven Women. I guess the pandemic is better down under???

    He’s been doing a number of shows in last month or two. Limited capacity i’m sure though.

    I’m sure he probably needs the income. This pandemic is devastating for musicians who aren’t at U2 level.

    I downloaded Eleven Women off iTunes but have only casually listened to it so far. Need to give it a dedicated listen still.

    Absolutely difficult times, but the man is working hard.

    I think he’s done OK from the hour long Instagram shows (can find them on YouTube) he has done almost every week since about March. He welcomes donations and said that Eleven Women would not have happened without the donations. I’ve donated a few times, need to do another one.

    I really like Eleven Women, was quite familiar with the songs has he had played them a lot during the IG shows. I’d buy the CD of it, but the postage from Australia doubles the cost so have held off just now.

    If you haven't purchased/listened to the Steve Kilbey/Gareth Koch collaboration album Chryse Planitia yet, you need to:

    How about buying it from Amazon.uk? I have no idea how expensive that may be when ordering from the U.S.!?

    Eleven Women.

    Does anyone know if there's an online source to purchase the Kilbey / Koch titles, or Eleven Women in FLAC? It seems the cd's have very poor distribution, and I typically listen to vinyl 99% of the time, unless the title is only cd / digital. For reference, my 6,000+ cd collection is all ripped to FLAC, and only a tiny percentage of that ever gets a listen these days.
