Back Price: £14.00		21st Century boys New package released by EMI worldwide early 2001. Typical of the major record label...there we were with our website, playing gigs and selling CDs , all on our own with no-one to help us, and of course they think -hello somethings happening here-lets get in on it! Actually the people working at EMI (in the "exploitation of catalogue department") then were all fans of the band and they worked really hard to package the CD beautifully and I gave them my full co-operation. This fills in a lot of the blanks missing from the sputnik Cd releases - most of the early singles were only released on vinyl and they are all here, with the single rather than album mixes. Not only does it have lots of the rare and hard to get now singles but all the b sides too. Package starts with the "video trailer mix"..the sound from this is from when we filmed outside the famouse Abbey Road studios, the night we played the ledgendary gig there....it was the sound recorder talking as we crossed the famous Zebra crossing! Finishes with the 2000 remix by westbam - a big german remixer - it has a massive beat - although not really much of the original track in it! So many people ask me if they can remix sputnik stuff and I'm always wary because they so often turn out sounding like some one else - yet I'm always hoping someone will add something to our original sounding rock and roll that we could use live too..... great to hear all those b-sides in order - most were just recorded at home too! Great packaging too..the inside poster bag has lots of really great pictures from the sputnik archive.
