I remember seeing it on MTV around 20 years ago and still love the track to this day but all I have is a cassette rip off the VHS.

I do have some live CDs that fans have sent me, so it's worth seeing if anything from those is worth releasing also. For anyone who may be interested...I am releasing an album with my new musical project "Cowboy Racer' on Jan 3rd 2011 on iTunes....you can find more details here www.cowboyracer.com. Thanks!

It's time the band were given some sort of reappraisal, and a good series of reissues would certainly get the ball rolling on that.23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-49849565053469148742010-11-21T09:31:32.989+00:002010-11-21T09:31:32.989+00:00Well....i'm hoping to organise a release of al...Well....i'm hoping to organise a release of al sorts of unreleased demos in 2012 which is when we actually get the publishing to our songs back...and we'll have to engineer getting the other stuff re-issued then as well....hey maybe we'll even get the band together (not likely).

The usual "If you want something hard enough, you'll get it" line which sadly doesn't always end up working out for mediocrities.<br /><br />Anyway, I really hope some Salad stuff is re-issued on CD at some point, although knowing the way the music industry works I won't hold my breath.23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-29494223337935859532010-11-19T16:16:01.051+00:002010-11-19T16:16:01.051+00:00I absolutely love what you have said here and than...I absolutely love what you have said here and thank you for hitting the nail on the head on so many levels....that stuff about the Modelling and TV career....groan.....I'm not surprised you wanted to vomit....how hilarious to think about that now...as a mother...enjoying life...being a tad more grounded I hope. ....anyhow...keep up the brilliant work and thank you again.
