BATTLEFIELD BAND'S NEW ALBUM & US/CANADA TOUR
Robin Morton
Battlefield Band's new album "Rain, Hail or Shine" (Temple Records
COMD2074/CTP074), has been delivered to the distributors in the U.S. It
has turned out really great. The street date for the album is the 7th
of April, and it coincides with their concert at Freight & Salvage,
Berkeley, CA, but it will be available at their other concerts prior to
that date.
This is a CD Extra, and we think a first in our field of music. A CD
Extra is first and foremost a normal audio CD, which plays on the CD
player in the usual way. The Bonus is a CD Rom. So, if you have a PC
(with Windows 95 or better and other technical gizmos) you can access
the CD Rom which gives you interviews with the band, 3 short music
videos, extra music tracks and lots of photos and information about
Battlefield Band. (If you don't have a PC maybe you could use a
friend's!) All this at the usual CD price, so if you can't access the
ROM you still have the full value of the audio CD. One way or the other
you get your money's worth. (The cassette of course carries NO Bonus
Rom).
To follow is their upcoming tour of the US & Canada, which starts on the
24th of March, and they are selling out venues all over the place. It
is a tough tour but the band are looking forward to it, and seeing you
somewhere along the road!
