Hold Your Horses
Legacy Of Love: David Phelps Live has been delayed. Originally set to release on August 29, it's now slated for a September 12th date according to
CBD.com. But hey, at least now I have a cover photo to show you.
The Lost Album by the Imperials is going to remain lost to Imperials fans for a little while longer. We were expecting this to hit shelves last week, but now it appears Word is going to sit on it until September 15th.
Way to go, Word. You've had the masters stored away for thirty years and now, even with today's modern mastering technology, superior graphics design technology and a publicity staff who presumably knows how to spread the word, you can't meet a release date.
Again...my source for the new release date is
CBD.com. I've also verified that the original release dates have been deleted from Word's
website. Word's published release dates currently stop with August.
To be honest, I am a bit worried about the Imps CD. You can still look up the Phelps project on Word's website, but the Imps CD is nowhere to be found. Could they have lost it again?
Yes, a Word rep told me via email that the Lost Album will be in stores on August 29th. 
Hey! Good news y'all! I am in the process of downloading the tracks from The Lost Album from Napster as I type this. I know Rhapsody has it too!! It seems several of the tracks were recorded on The Imperials Live (1978), but it still should be a blast hearing this album that has been in Word's vault for 30 years.
What I find interesting is that on the Word webpage,they now are posting for sept. 12th a different imperials CD - a compilation album. No mention of the lost album. DBM, do you have any new info on that?
