THIS MYSPACE SITE WAS SET UP FOR FANS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE THOMPSON TWINS TO SAY WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE RELEASED FROM SONY/BMG AND WARNER MUSIC
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO SONY/BMG FOR ALL THE PREVIOUS THOMPSON TWINS COMPILATION, BUT NONE OF THEM ACTUALLY CONTAINED RARE TRACKS, B-SIDES ETC, NOR IS THERE AN OFFICIAL DVD RELEASE
THE NEAREST FANS GOT TO A RARITIES COLLECTION WAS THE UK "GREATEST HITS" COMPILATION WHICH CONTAINED THE UK 7" VERSION OF "ROLL OVER" WHICH WAS THE SINGLE THAT NEVER GOT RELEASED FROM 1985 AND ALSO A DEMO VERSION OF "SISTER OF MERCY", BOTH TRACKS WERE FROM SONY/BMG'S ARCHIVES, THERE MUST BE MORE AROUND!
TOM BAILEY SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED WITH THIS TOO. SO PLEASE SONY/BMG AND WARNER MUSIC, LET'S GET THIS OFF THE GROUND. THIS SITE PROVES THAT THERE IS A MARKET FOR THIS, A RARITIES COLLECTION AND AN OFFICIAL DVD RELEASE. THE THOMPSON TWINS HAVE A BIG FOLLOWING AND A RARITIES COLLECTION IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA. THE FANS WILL ASSIST TOO IN CREATING THIS.... THERE IS A LOT OF RARE MATERIAL AROUND!
UPDATE - END MARCH 2008 - 2 UK CD RELEASES HAVE BEEN PUT OUT, BOTH DOUBLE CD'S CONTAINING B-SIDES & REMIXES... BUT THEY HAVE BEEN MET WITH MIXED REACTIONS. SOME SAY THE QUALITY ISN'T THAT GOOD, SOME SAY THE HERE'S TO FUTURE DAYS CD (IF IT HAPPENS) WILL BE A LET DOWN
THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW, WHAT WE ALL WANT IS A DECENT BOXSET AND DVD RELEASE!
