New Release:
Like many around the world, we were disappointed to receive our vinyl copy of the new single titled, "Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)" released by Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes, only to discover Keiji Haino's name had been removed from the credits on the back of the jacket and his image did not appear among the other guitarists on the front of the jacket. There was no indication of his participation at all. Most of the images floating around on the internet do not include Haino. However, you can return to the original site and see that the digital version now includes a version of the cover with Haino squeezed in just to the left of the Edge. There are other indications that Haino indeed appears on the release. We have therefore added the release to the guest appearance page of the discography. It appears that distribution of the physical release date in Japan was delayed. Perhaps, a corrected sleeve is being printed for that market. If anyone discovers that there is a vinyl version that includes Haino on the sleeve, email me (david "at" poisonpie.com), and we will update the site. |
