Might be some good news for Steve Miller fans!!

[Q-Eight]

In June, I sent an email to Mr. Miller and I had thought my email had gone unnoticed. Until today when I got a reply.

Just for kicks, here's my original mail from June:

Hello,

I was just curious if there were any plans to release other albums such as The Joker or Book of Dreams in a 5.1 Surround sound package like the Fly Like an Eagle 30th Anniversary?
Many of us back in the '70's owned the Quadraphonic tapes of "Joker" and "Eagle" ( I still do!) and were patiently awaiting Book of Dreams. I don't know if I can wait 30 more years!

And today came the reply:

Hi ~

Yes, we were thinking of re-releasing some of our other albums. However, we have been recording a new CD throughout the summer and are just finishing the editing. Hopefully, it will be released by the end of the year.

Thanks for writing,
SMB

No mention of re-releasing in 5.1, but if they did it for Fly Like an Eagle, why not the others? Very good news I think.

Oh yeah, an earlier email revealed that the person who sneezed on "Lovin' Cup" was in fact, Lonnie Turner.

The deluxe edition and the super deluxe edition era is not over by a long shot. If we can hold out a while longer I think we will see some old and newer surround mixes. I think many artists and their labels are looking at what they have and what can be done with it to jazz up a title and rake in some more sales before it’s totally all over for a given album.

Book of Dreams seems more likely than most.

Book of dreams...my favorite steve miller album...still have the lp sitting in abox from decades ago...in surround on modern format would be an instant nuy now

Sounds more like they were just trying to make you aware of the new album, but there’s always hope!
