BoC have hinted in the past that they would touch up their back catalogue and release it. If I remember correctly those hints were years ago. I don't think we'll ever see them released, at least not commercially or in the short term future. From One Source All tapes Depend; the community.
I just want to hear the music in the best possible quality, if the community produces this before BoC themselves then so be it.
I would hope and sorta think they'd chose others tracks from their 80,000,000 song archive if they ever did a release. These weren't meant for pubic ears, so quality of the tape not, they may not even want to remaster/release these tracks. With an archive as monstrous as theirs, these tracks are but a mere spec on the wall. Plus, it'd be worth more time imo to hit us with a bunch stuff we never knew about, since we already have these, no need for the same pony in a new dress, or something like that, when they have such a massive arsenal. Plus, there are a ton of tunes they made during and b/t albums that they may be more "proud" of, or feel are more release-worthy.
They're probably laughing at us, saying geez, if only they knew of half of the other 8 million tracks that haven't leaked. They are really caught up on these handful of tracks.
Anyway, sorry to hear about the sad circumstances surrounding this.
