Good to point out especially because the "Insight" series was HORRIBLE! Sad thing is that they trusted Gull. I have plenty of interviews where they say that they are thankful for them and their support in getting their music out to the masses. Therefore the "Best Of" was certainly endorsed by the band AT ONE TIME. It is just the politics that came AFTER that made thing go south. Sad Wings (and Rocka Rolla, if I am not mistaken...no album in front of me) was a GULL release, after all. They didn't really catch on until CBS+ took them.
Common to most musicians, I suppose. Learning curve. Thank strat for the Metal God label. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bev from Thursday, February 19, 2009 12:04:39 PM)
