Re: New interview with Jeff Pilson
Was he pissed about the boxed set? https://blabbermouth.net/news/jeff-pils ... -1983-1987
Pilson said: "I don't know, because we have very, very little to do with all that now. It's a complicated business thing, but I don't know. I know I was disappointed in the box set ['The Elektra Albums 1983 - 1987', containing 'Breaking The Chains', 'Tooth And Nail', 'Under Lock And Key' and 'Back For The Attack'] that came out last year. I just thought it was plain. There's no extras whatsoever. And, see, that's corporate people making decisions not based on anything artistic or anything fan-oriented, and that pisses me off, frankly. I mean, I'd love people to buy it because I think they should buy it, but it kind of pisses me off that they put out a product with so little thought behind it. I've got shit lying around that could have been great extra stuff. And I offered, by the way, and nobody listened. And that makes me angry… And they didn't remaster the vinyl correctly. I would love to see it done correctly, and there are companies that do it, but now they're not gonna be interested because it just came out So, I don't know. I don't think we're gonna get a good re-release of that, unfortunately, because I think it should happen too. But such is life."
