LIVE WALL RELEASE DATE REPORTS CLASH
Five independent sources of information from EMI are yielding
conflicting information about the release date of "Is There Anybody
Out There?" Two sources agree that the street release date for the
album is presently March 27, while two other sources agree that the
album has been postponed indefinitely.
The first source, coming through fan David Parker, indicates that the
limited edition version of the album is scheduled for release on 27
March. In past cases, Parker's information has proven accurate.
The second source is working with EMI to prepare for the album's
release in Europe. This source agrees that the firm street date for
"Is There Anybody Out There?" is March 27 worldwide. A major launch
party is being prepared to take place in Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
A third source, a fan calling himself "Ash" who has contacts who have
proven reliable in the past, reports that EMI/Capitol is no longer
going to be the company handling the release of the album in the
United States. Instead, according to Ash, the album will be released
in the U.S. by Sony/Columbia.
A fourth source, deejay Rick Deyulio in Syracuse, New York, has seen a
prep service report from MJI Broadcasting which states that "Is There
Anybody Out There?" has been postponed indefinitely. MJI Broadcasting
attributes their information to an EMI spokesperson.
A fifth source, working closely with EMI to plan promotions for the
U.S. release of the album, also confirms that the album has been
postponed indefinitely. This source also confirmed that, contrary to
some rumors, the album has not been canceled or shelved; it will still
be released.
Which sources are accurate and which are not remains unclear at this
time. All five sources have, or claim to have, information that comes
from within EMI. As more information is available, it will be
published by The Steel Breeze.
The packaging for "Is There Anybody Out There?" was described by one
person who has already seen it as "not as great as I expected." The
limited edition CD comes in a carton approximately 12x19 cm in size.
It includes a 16-page booklet of photographs. The booklet is
approximately the same size as the carton.
The Artist Shop at 
http://www.artist-shop.com
 is already offering an
import pre-release CD of "Is There Anybody Out There?" for $40.95 U.S.
The Artist Shop describes it as a "Japanese version of 2000 release of
live recording of 'The Wall' with a limited supplement of a sticker
with first pressing only." Details of the nature of the recording
offered by The Artist Shop are unknown at this time.
Thanks to David, Ash, Rick Deyulio, Jed Levin and others.

Ecco: tutta la faccenda nasce probabilmente da qualche casino tra le
multinazionali. Da qualche parte, poi, avevo letto che tra i dipendenti
della EMI è assai diffuso l'alcoolismo :-) Non so se questa informazione
spuria possa o meno chiarire dove andrà a parare questo benedetto CD
:-DDDDD
Il fatto che ce ne sia già una copia in giappone mi stupisce, visto il
controllo che hanno lor signori sul loro materiale.
