Julianne "I know it's an odd time to be
reminiscing when there is so much looking to the future going on, but,
Andy, Tim and I have gathered the old Eden releases, b-sides and all,
along with some pre-Phonogram demo's and are releasing it under the
title "Return To Eden - the early recordings"). There will
be some gems on there such as a demo version of In The Meadow which
has different lyrics. The same goes for the studio version of Every
Angel! Tim has done the sleeve notes and has designed the front and
back cover photo's, so, it is obviously with his blessing. There you
are, a totally band-sorted thing, not a bootleg, not a rip-off. I know
a fair few of you will have the material, or, at least some of it, but
a lot of it is hard to find and copies deteriorate. This has all been
digitally improved. So for those of you who don't have the stuff or
want 'better-quality' versions, this might be for you.
We hope to have this ready in time for the May
tour. It comes in at just under 70 minutes so it's perfect to put on
for an evening with friends where you can all drink cheap wine and wear
purple and silver. (Well, that's what we were doing when we compiled
it.Yes!)

Starvox Review
While not my usual blend of oppressive Death Rock
or Doom, this is one of the most fantastic collections of vintage Goth
Rock material available today. If you have ever at all been curious
about All About Eve, then this is the CD for you to begin your love
affair with this band. If you are a longtime fan, then there is A LOT
here to be thankful for to complete the band’s ‘pre-discography.’
