It looks like it’s canceled, at least for the moment.
Take that reissue of the J. Geils Band’s “Live — Full House” off your shopping list. Peter Wolf tells The Insider that the group has scotched Rhino Records’ plans to put out the two-CD set, which was slated to feature both of the April 21-22, 1972 shows at Detroit’s Cinderella Ballroom from which the original 1972 album was culled. Wolf says that the new release “wasn’t authorized by us. What we did was pick the best stuff of the two evenings…They were calling it ‘Full House,’ and we responded by saying, ‘Wait a second. First of all, it would be nice if you’d contact us for consideration, artistically. Second of all, it’s not ‘Full House.’ This is not even the original album; it was just from those evenings. To call it ‘Full House’ is extremely misleading. And to not even ask for our participation and move forward without our participation is just very artistically insulting. So it’s been nixed.” Neither Wolf nor Rhino would indicate if negotiations are continuing to release the package.
What a drag! However, you can’t argue with Wolf’s comments. Hopefully there’s enough cash involved to resurrect the project.
