Sean, you sorta asked for it. You read my post where I said "we are not able to add bonus tracks". And then proceded to basically ask "can you add this track as a bonus track"?
How can you possibly take offense at the fact that the question was asked, and answered, and then you decided to ask it again... I think I had a right to be flippant in my answer.
However, just so you don't think I am trying to cheat the world of what I consider to be some excellent non album tracks.. we requested all 4 mixes from the US 12" promo of Forever Running/Switch On Switch Off. We also tried to add the 3 mixes of "A Letter From Afar" from the 12" as well as the extended version of "Nowhere Girl" and the b-side "Remembrance Day".
We were told that if we wanted to add bonus tracks we'd need to guarantee that we'd manufacture 25,000 units over 3 years. Since there's a zero percent chance that we could ever sell anything CLOSE to that, we stayed with the original deal which is for the original 9 track album with nothing extra. We are going to remaster it so it will sound awesome, and it will have a nice booklet with a complete discography and new liner notes written by Steve Hovington.
BELIEVE ME - we WANT to add as much to each package as possible. I personally want these mixes on CD at least as much as you - however, they are just not available to license under terms that make financial sense.
Therefore, we are going with the original 9 track album which has never been on CD before and which I have wanted since i was 16 years old.
