I generally don't like this either, but the one time I bit I got the Atomic Forest record for $250 the first time it came up on ebay.
Never say never.
Damn.....so are you planning on reissuing it?
Well, I put the title cut on Obsession.
Honestly, I've wrestled with this for a while but the fact is that half of this record is incredible and the other half straight up blows. The other thing is that licensing is a nightmare. The only person really entitled to royalties, Keith Kanga, died years ago with no surviving relatives, and the record label probably never owned the rights. No known member of Atomic Forest (a lot of people came and went) says that they played on the recordings. In fact, they were all astonished that AF had ever released a record! (The band name only appears in tiny letters on the back cover).
But a well known reissue kingpin has been in touch with me on the subject and it is very likely that a release of the best cuts and some related material will happen...
