Wow, 30 years! Amazing. Still a great album with some great tracks on there. I was 11 when it came out and for me this record still resembles some great childhood memories. I guess for a lot of us here. Listening to it always takes me back. Still have the t-shirt from the 1992 concert!  Such a shame though that the band kinda "ignores" the anniversary's of Out of this World and PIP. I dont expect a tour like they did in 2016 for TFC, but a re-release/remaster would be nice. (By the way, it could be a rights issue also. Maybe Sony still owns them? Maybe they're not releasing any remasters simply because they can't? I dont know.) |

Ian brings that up in a a recent interview with 80’s Glam Metalcast (you can watch that interview here): Interviewer: "And right now, they still own those original albums that you did on Sony, they own all the masters?" Ian: "Yeah, yeah, that's right. I think we're gonna get them back in years. I'm not sure when it's gonna happen, but it will be happening in the future. That will open up totally new possibilities to do something about the material (the Le Baron Boys demos) and see if we can re-release it. Personally I'm really in favor of those kind of releases, because it shows the depths of the band, the songwriting and everything. I definitely think that many of those leftover songs are as strong as many of the songs on the album." |

Ian brings that up in a a recent interview with 80’s Glam Metalcast (you can watch that interview here): Hey thanks for the link Stein! Interesting. So it is a rights issue... OOTW was remastered by Rock Candy a few years back. Nothing new really and no unreleased material, just better sound. I think the current band lineup makes celebrating OOTW and PIP difficult, and may be why you don't see more attention given by the band. As we all know, Norum wasn't around then, and do Joey and/or the rest the guys really want to say, "Hey John - Go learn all the other songs from OOTW and PIP so we can do something?" Or, do they try to work Kee into a couple one-off shows, which based on some of his comments in interviews, at least towards Joey, seems unlikely, and probably leaves John L, Mic, and Ian thinking, why bother? I mean, presumably, they didn't offer to include him in the band anniversary show at Sweden Rock, and that would have been ideal to have him participate in some manner, to celebrate the band and his contributions. As a result, there are certainly some challenges and complexities to really recognizing those albums. I'll also mention that when they did the "special" shows in Asia a few years back, focusing on various albums, PIP was still pretty much ignored on it's highlighted night. They played mostly the songs they have always rotated in/out of the set, nothing new that I can recall. Personally, I was hoping for a couple more deep tracks to make it special, but it really was underwhelming. |
