Angola (Wrong Side Of The Law) may be a bonus track

I've forwarded to New West the original note to me that appeared in the digest about the Spanish article announcing this. I asked whether this will be on the standard edition or the deluxe edition or is just wrong. With any luck I'll get another relatively quick response.

The la-*test*-('") word from New West

Neil

It looks like very soon will be today or tomorrow. I just received the following note from New West.

I like the "worth the wait" bit there.
Neil

Thanks, neilo!

A new note:

It's not there yet, but maybe any minute now ....

Neil

Thanks, Neil.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Harp Magazine:

'The single disc, digital download and vinyl editions will all have the following 3 bonus tracks:
1. Angola (Wrong Side of the Law)
2. Vietnam Cowboys (Demo)
3. The Voodoo Walk (Demo)

The Deluxe CD/DVD Edition will have 4 bonus tracks as well:
1. Angola (Wrong Side of the Law)
2. I, Victim (Rough Mix From the Upcoming project called “Ripper”)
3. Vietnam Cowboys (demo)
4. The Voodoo Walk (demo)

And the DVD will include a 20-minute short film titled “Americana: A Work In Progress,” which was filmed and directed by Davies. It features footage from the fall 2001 Storyteller Tour. Ray narrates over the post-9/11 landscape of airports, freeways, hotels, soundchecks and performances, with songs from Working Man’s Café as the soundtrack. It all culminates in New Orleans, the city that inspired many of the songs on the new album.'

Thanks for all your efforts Neilo - much appreciated.

The youtube clip is fascinating and I can't wait till I get my hands on the bonus DVD issue. Many thanks also to NewWest Records for having the courage and foresight to post the clip on youtube. Here's a to a long and successful partnership between Ray and this record company - the signs are very promising so far. Lets hope Ray gets the recognition he so richly deserves.

Thanks for the link, Neil. The DVD looks to be excellent! It would be interesting enough to have a documentary about him touring the USA, but set against the post-9/11 air travel panic, it will be a unique look at both Ray and America for sure.

Thanks Neil O' for the links - the QuickTime file from the Harp Magazine link is good quality and well worth the extra download time. (circa 57 megabytes)

Must be something with the Davies brothers -they like being filmed on London Bridges. Dave's recent download of 'Living on a thin line' also featured a London bridge-albeit a pedestrian one -The Millenium Bridge.
