Knebworth Record store day release

I'd say you could blame it on the band... but they don't get involved with releases, stupidly.

I'd say you could blame it on Management... but Porter also doesn't get involved with release, ^see above.

Bootlegs, as far as I know, can be blamed on Bob Young, as he supplied them to Universal. Happy to be told otherwise. They refuse to use bootlegs these days

The full performance exists, but if they're going to release the whole thing they would need to remix the multitracks - which they probably won't do as they wouldn't see a profit with all the money going straight to Nordoff Robins. 

The only way we'll ever get a remix of this show is if it is part of a boxset, like Pink Floyds was initially. So they could price the boxset in a way they could see a return in profits whilst also donating a portion of the proceeds to Nordoff.

Genesis and Robert Plant are also releasing a "Live At Knebworth" RSD exclusive, however I've not seen the tracklistings for those so I can't say whether they are the full sets or just the audio from the original compilation.

Edit;-
I also wouldn't want them to use the BBC Radio One broadcast of the show for anything, as that mix was p*ss poor.

also releasing the rest of status quo on coloured vinyl as part of RSD.

At first I thought it was the entire Knebworth album but I see it's only Quo's tracks. As Quoincidence says, Genesis and Robert Plant also appear to be releasing their part of the original album as a separate release. Although, also like he points out, there's no indication of track listing. Interesting that some releases say 1LP or 2LP's and some say 12" vinyl. Bit ambiguous that. 

The Rest of Status Quo on purple vinyl is a bit of an oddity. 

Most of these RSD releases tend to be 're-releases' but some acts seem to have new tracks - often entire albums - for the occasion. Foo Fighters in the past spring to mind. 

I think any release of Quo's entire set would have to be brought out in it's own right; away from RSD. But the whole point of this is to support independent record stores, not to satisfy the lust of Quo fans   

Very few acts from Knebworth that day have released their entire set. Or intend to by the looks. So bully for Pink Floyd. 

If record stores are open by then, I dare say I'll be popping along on 12 June to get me some 

Yeah, I know, but that's the concept behind it; sort of. It's marketing like anything else. And the vast majority of releases by all artists are rehashes of older stuff, particularly if it's not been on vinyl before. Or not for a long time. 

I actually spotted a UFO 10" single on there in clear vinyl containing a track from the mid 70's. That caught my attention. OK, you'll only really attract the collector but I think that was always the case with RSD. There are dozens of releases over two days, possibly even hundreds, and I suspect very few have much previously unreleased material on them. 

But I take the point. People won't be queuing down the street. Although vinyl overtook CD's in sales for the first time in decades last year, streaming and download still will rule from now on. Or whatever medium pitches up next. 

Yeah, it's the same for Robert Plants release - 4 tracks;-
Hurting Kind, Liars Dance, Tall Cool One, Wearing & Tearing

I'm thinking that Nordoff Robbins have sorted these releases, as I wouldn't see the record companies issuing these with generic sleeve designs that don't even have the bands branding on them.

The TV mix is a lot different to the release on the DVD. 
I have the album but, ain't listened to that in awhile so can't say either way on that
