Sembra molto interessante, è già stata eseguita tre o quattro volte in concerto ma sulla carta o meglio, su disco, fa un altro effetto. Ovviamente non mancherà la classica edizione deluxe con 2 CD, un DVD e un libro.

I Cranberries, di cui si intensificano le voci di una imminente reunion, hanno pubblicato/stanno pubblicando, in Italia il 19 febbraio un album dal vivo registrato tra il 1994 e il 1998, titolo Bualadh Bos: The Cranberries Live, “Batti le Mani” per i non avvezzi al gaelico.

Sempre intorno a metà mese, sempre su etichetta Nonesuch/Warner uscirà una succosa raccolta dedicata all’artista canadese, anche in questo caso versione doppio CD per i “poveri” e versione deluxe 3 CD + DVD per i famosi “pirla” di cui parlavo tempo or sono, tracklist come segue.

Infine, per questo primo aggiornamento, visto che con le tracklist mi sono un po’ dilungato nel post, una breve notizia anche dal fronte italiano: la EMI sta per pubblicare… esatto, a metà mese, una doppia antologia I Nomadi ed Altre Storie: Best and Rarities del periodo 1965-1979, un’altra dirà qualcuno? Il secondo Cd però, cito testualmente il comunicato stampa “Contiene 17 tracce rarissime mai rese disponibili prima d’ora”. Il tutto a prezzo speciale.
