Just for edification: ONLY 3:47 EST is being remastered at this point.
Everything else is being rePRINTED with new artwork only.

> Hi everyone!
>
> Klaatu have taken control of their masters and are in the process of having
> the albums remastered for re-release on Klaatunes Records. Ted Jones is on
> board and will be working with the band on new booklets and layouts and
> ensuring quality control in the printing.
>
> First up is Solology, which isn't actually being RE-mastered, but will be
> released shortly on Klaatunes Records with an expanded booklet.
>
> At this time, the band have sent the master for 3:47 EST to a world reknowned
> mastering engineer for work. They are also entertaining the possibility of a
> limited edition re-mastered vinyl release and are interested in hearing from
> the fans about the potential interest in such a project.
>
> Terry had recently talked about possibly having a gatefold cover with a glued
> in 12 inch booklet (similar to the original US and Canadian pressings of the
> Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour LP).
>
> Things like 180 gram virgin vinyl are expensive, but if that's something the
> fans would shell out for, then why not? However, the band would be looking to
> ensure that this wouldn't be a money losing venture, so there's planning and
> investigating to be done.
>
> Are you interested? There's a new survey on the Klaatu web site. Go to
> http://www.klaatu.org and you can click a link right near the top of the page
> to fill out the survey.
>
> Are you specifically NOT interested? Fill out the survey and indicate that.
> There's a place to type a specific message of your choice as well as options
> to click on for pre-defined answers to questions.
>
> Some people might want the vinyl to actually listen to.
>
> Some people will want 180 gram vinyl.
>
> Some people might not care about the vinyl quality and only want the 12 inch
> booklet and sleeve artwork.
>
> Some people will want this to put in their collection just to show off,
> "look, I've got a NEW vinyl LP"!
>
> Some people will want to frame and hang up a new LP.
>
> If you were going to buy this, what would YOU want it for and what would YOU
> be looking for?
>
> Please let the band know your interest or lack there of and be as specific as
> you want to be.

> Enjoy!
