Reissues of Leaps & Bounds and Epic Sound Battles Chapter 2

[Ras Berry]

I emailed Lantern to ask if they were planning on reissuing these two but apparently they've already been licensed by another company

So at some point they should see the light of day

I imagine a Leaps & Bounds reissue would do well

Looks like they could be releasing Leaps & Bounds after all.

[Ras Berry]

Spose I'll have to get it, if it's mandatory


But it's still Lantern

[Jethro]

So by my reckoning I think that leaves VBIAN and Epic Sound Ch2 from the Cherry Red set unreleased by Lantern?

[Ras Berry]

I concur

My copy of Leaps & Bounds arrived today. Looks nice, but I haven't played it yet. I note on the back it proudly states "Originally released on On-U Sound in 1973" I updated the scant Discogs listing for this issue earlier this evening and added the 1973 part to the notes. I fully expect some earnest young fellow will spot this and comment "Released in 1973? But how can this be? On-U Sound wasn't in existence until 1981. Entirely incorrect!"


Give it a couple of days

huh?

Are there not ON-U albums with a year of release on it 10 years in the future? This one has an original year of release on it 10 years in the past.

Forward ever, backward never!

ahh i see... a typo

after all, ams wudda bin 15yrs old...

[Jethro]

Continuing a fine On-U tradition of ballsing up the liner notes.

I've now played the reissue and it's pretty good. A very clean pressing bar a couple of crackles on side 2 and the bass is almost on a par with the original

Seems they've improved as they've gone along
