VOL. 4, NO. 4 : THE SUMMER OF RYCHE EDITION

WELCOME to Spring and much going on with the Ryche!! Who could ask for more??
WHAT ?? You aren't sure of what I am talking about???
WELL -
Have you been to the Big Board lately? If not, you are behind the times! Here is a recap of the chain of events:
1) Chris DeGarmo returns.
2) QR announces European Tour dates.
3) US Tour dates announced
4) Dream Theater on US Tour with QR

What can one say? Well, it's going to be a Rychin' year to say the least!!

On the re-issues and the box set scene, the packaging for the first four (4) CD(s) has been completed per EMI!! "The band is quite pleased with the same."

As for the remaining EMI CD(s), I will be bundling up collectibles this week to send out for the packaging on those discs. The packaging will be in the can "very" shortly!

Some of you have e-mailed me for the name of the Box Set. Well, I won't tell you, I will let my memo/note from my contact at EMI answer your question:

"The packaging ended up being pretty tight in some cases because we included liner notes, an intro by Geoff and lyrics to all of the songs - plus original credits and reissue credits - so it was pretty text heavy.
BTW , I didn't want to tell you until I was sure, but we got an approved title for the box set - that I think you will be particularly happy about. It is called REVOLUTION CALLING ! Just remember - you were my inspiration for coming up with the title. "
OK! On with the business at home -

I.) CWE WEBSITE:
After some miscommunications with the servicer, etc., the site is back up, alive and well. Thanks for the e-mails alerting me to the same.
