BOC CD delay

[jean l delacour]

BOC Folks;

  Been lurking lately, but felt that I should comment on this yet additional
delay on the release of the new disc;

  1.  First of all, does anyone have any solid info on what went down with
      the SPV (SVP?) deal?  Things are pretty tight lipped on AOL these
      days, so we can only speculate on what happened.

  2.  Furthermore, I think that as long as the disc is out by this summer,
      then business should be pretty good for the new CD.  Since the tour
      plans with Travers, Foghat, and Steppenwolf are still a "go".  BTW,
      the tour will be called, The Summer Daze Tour 1997!!!  Cool, huh?

  3.  Foghat will have a new product out by the time the tour starts;
      Foghat Live II. Pat Travers has had new discs of new material for
      the past 5 yrs ( 5 cds in 5 yrs!!), and Steppenwolf has a greatest
      hits/live package out (or soon to be out).  This leaves us with BOC.
      What if they have no new product to promote?  Will it matter?  My
      guess is that it will not impact ticket sales, but a new cd will
      certainly not hurt their cause.

  4.  I believe that perhaps 1997 will be a make or break year for BOC.
      I wish them the best.  I hope the disc comes out, sells well, and
      the tour pulls in the fans.  This is their 25th Anniversary!!  I,
      however, am realistic that patterns of the past may sabotage their
      own cause once again.

   God bless...

Manuel &
