It looks like Charlie is "getting a second chance".
Charlie's albums 'Lines' and 'No Second Chance' have been digitally remastered and are being reissued onto vinyl by Renaissance Records. Each album when you buy it straight from their stores comes with deluxe incentives such as a poster, trading cards of the original band members, restored liner notes, lyrics sheets and exclusive photos. Preorders are available at https://www.renaissancerecordsus.com/BuyVinyl.html

Not that I've ever purchased CDs from RR, but I've read many Charlie fans postings over the years, where they've commented on the poor sound quailty of RRs 'Charlie' CD releases.
As the original master tapes no longer exist, I'm assuming that RR will therefore be 'digitally remastering' from their CD "masters".
Music aficionados that I've communicated with in the past, have always said:-
"If you want to listen to vinyl, the source material has to be of the highest quality"
Perhaps you might not get that from RRs vinyl - but then again, something's better than nothing !!
On a different note, Terry T's been in touch and informs me that he's been working on quite a few new songs.
Unfortunately, health issues have put a bit of a 'stop' on things, but once he's up and running again, he'll try and make some progress on them.
Does this mean there might be another 'Charlie' release?
Peter, that is wonderful news about Terry and new material, there was a point when I thought nothing would ever be released again but this gives us all hope.
Would be great to have a Fabulous Lampshades gig in the near future too health permitting, clock is ticking for us all. Can you e-mail Terry or shall I ?
