JohnO Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 While this is the official announcement from Rykodisc, I think a lot of us are awaiting word about the Special Limited Edition sets (are they also being released on 7/31, what about the extras, etc.?), which aren't mentioned in the press release.

Eric Carmen Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 The extras will all be there, they didn't mention them in the press release because there are three different packages and the Ryko 13 song CD doesn't include all the extras. ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I was on the Rykodisc website and there is no mention of the release or of Raspberries under its "Artists" category.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinberries Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 elementary, my dear John-O!; or as i put it on the raspberriesonline board to Big Al: thanks Al; how about some gory details on the pkg's ear & eye-candy contents & perks previously alluded to for those of us who dug deep & plunked down for the big kahuna? i mean, we *will* get to scratch & sniff, & more, right?...

Bessieboo Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey! I checked raspberriesonline.com early this morning and there where no changes! They must like to sleep late.It is exciting to see the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al K Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 FYI...Ryko is doing a total redesign of their website, and that's why it hasn't been updated in a several months. I'm told the band will be featured prominently when the redesigned site is up and running.Regarding the Special Limited Edition sets...They are also being released on July 31, but we hope to get them to you a little sooner than that. The rest of the "gory details" are coming soon...in a week or so...and you won't be disappointed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey Austinberries,If we wanted to play Austin, is there are great little venue there? ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey Austinberries,If we wanted to play Austin, is there are great little venue there? ec Yes, it's called "Jack Singer Hall" and it's in Calgary!Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinberries Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 thx for the info, Al - Ryko's site has been in need of revamping for a while, it's kind of baseline functional. in fact, can't even pull their site down right now as we speak, coincidentally or notlooking forward to the gory details & hope the wait & pricetag has been offset by the perks (can u say "copy of the book 'tonight' "?). just be sure & top it off w/ a scratch & sniff so we can be transported back to that moment in time when 'go all the way' sonically blitzed our ears & rolled out a little genre called 'power pop', w/ about a bazillion would-be-heirs-to-the-throne since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT from Mo Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Eric,How about Kansas City? Hmmm... I'll have to do some legwork to find the perfect venue!Please??? HTHey Austinberries! Eric just asked you a question! Get on it! Here's your chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadfingerBarb Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey Austinberries,If we wanted to play Austin, is there are great little venue there? ec There is no shortage of venues in Austin. Antone's or maybe The Continental Club would seem to be the best bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Actually, greedy and impatient little b*stard that I am, I was hoping for an unofficial footnote to the official press release, stating "By the way - You who forked out for the Limited Special Edition versions - Your packages are in the mail!"

austinberries Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey Austinberries,If we wanted to play Austin, is there are great little venue there? ec are you kidding?!? glad you asked...#1 Antones (capacity 600)#2 La Zona Rosa (cap. 1200 they say, tho' actual performance area is prob more like 6-800)#3 Stubbs (cap. 1800 outside, prob about 200+ inside)#4 Continental Club (cap. 200)#5 Austin Music Hall (cap. 3000)#6 Threadgills (cap. prob @ 300 outside)#7 The Backyard/The Glenn (outdoors cap. 5000/few hundred)now, you do NOT want to be playing outdoors here during the summer (& TX summer goes up fully thru September & can still be very warm into the fall)i've played most of these venues, & you will appreciate their professionalism, audio egr's, green rooms, etc (tho' you know how green rooms can go)w/out a doubt, your #1 choice should be Antones. booking there is thru David Cotton 512.835.5997. you should really attempt to nail this one down if you come this way (its our House of Blues!). La Zona Rosa is great, perfect for you guys too, if not just a tad less high-profile than Antones. Stubbs is great, high profile, would love to see you guys indoor there, but its fairly tight (outdoors there may be too big & too damn hot!)Charles Attal Presents 512.385.3602 does bookings for several of these other venues (tho he has recently teamed up w/ C3 Presents 512.478.7211, who does Austin City Limits Festival, Lolapalooza (which they fully revived/revamped & plucked from its deathbed), & other eventsall their sites can be googled & found easilyhope this helps - pass it on to your peeps. now get your asses down here & put me on the list at the door! ;-) (jk - i'd pay to see the Raspberries ANY day...)

JCraft Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey EC--Since there's no surf in Cleavland, come on down to Fl.

The Florida Theater in downtown Jax uses union workers and is reguarly played by touring acts such as Hall&Oates, Huey Lewis, Loggins&Messina, Your buddy Todd was supposed top be there too!!!. Come on down and and I'll personally cook steaks for you and the crew--my treat.JIMPS--Does Wally eat as much as Kay implies?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
