Decline reissues reviews

[The Secretary]

There's a galvanising 5-star review in the new issue of Record Collector magazine.

The review begins "Booty call for buried treasure" and concludes "At once rock solid... and dancing elusively beyond reach. Religions have been founded on less."

Sounds good – and nothing less than accurate?!

Also features an interview with Noble.

Is the print article more in-depth than the on-line stuff here http://recordcollectormag.com/reviews/decline-british-sea-power?

Just wondering if it's worth ordering a physical copy or not.

[The Secretary]

I think that's also the BSP you get in the shop version – plus a whole magazine of course...

[Herbstzeitlose]

OK, thanks - think I'll prollaby leave it then. I actually enjoy the magazine on the admittedly rare occasions when I get hold of one, but it tends to encourage me to buy more records than I can afford.

The first 100 people who bought The Compleat Illustrated British Sea Power box set will be given bonus CDs, and there are about 50 demo CDs (and cassettes) within those, and they contain nearly all the demos we made. It will be fun for fans to swap these other versions. Some are quite illuminating and some are terrible!

Right, that's the green light from Martin right there. Who's going to take responsibility for setting up a suitable Dropbox/filesharing mechanism for these demos?

[Don_Gorgon]

I'll gladly share whatever I receive. What are the decent free file sharing services this days?

[Shadowplayer]

That's a great idea - especially for those of us who weren't quite quick enough to bag an extra

[Herbstzeitlose]

Ditto - more than happy to share, if I get a demo.

[atombowl65]

ditto, more than happy to share, does anyone know about the terms and conditions of whichever sharing service we might end up using in relation to inadvertently handing over any usage rights to the host. Google drive for instance states.

When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide licence to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes that we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content.

Dropbox is broadly similar although both issues various caveats along the lines of

The rights that you grant in this licence are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting and improving our Services, and to develop new ones.

TBH I've not really had to worry about this with the stuff that I use them for but I just want to be sure that I'm not putting somebody else's material into the hands of tax-shy corporate behemoths.

This is quite promising, given the small speculation that the SOB and Decline reissue might signify a winding down for BSP

When the decks are cleared with Sea Of Brass and The Decline Of… we’ll get stuck into it again. We’ve got ideas from sessions we did at the end of last year, so we’re already up and running to some extent.
