Right, but for the past decade or so we've been told that releasing them would be impossible due to complications with the band's debut label. So what changed?RoelSmoel wrote:Those are just unreleased songs, so could be that the recordings had been laying around for years and this was a good opportunity to release them.WaywardOne wrote:Does anyone know why the ODR B-sides are finally being released now? There has been a lot of speculation in the past that Wind Up prevented them from releasing the songs... I'm just wondering if they stayed in the vault until now because they're finally free from Wind Up's grasp, or are they just releasing it now simply because they feel like it?

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities
I recall Mark mentioning how Wind-up was obstructing the release of any ODR b-sides, likely because they had no interest in supporting Alter Bridge when doing so would undermine Creed's chances of reuniting. With Concord Bicycle purchasing Wind-up's catalogue (and eventually the entire label), the new business model may place a renewed focus on earning royalties from back catalogue recordings rather than trying to revitalize a band that frankly will never return to their 1999–2001 level of popularity.

Ok, that's the part of the story I was missing. I'm assuming this purchase happened fairly recently then? That would certainly make a lot of sense.abw1987 wrote:I recall Mark mentioning how Wind-up was obstructing the release of any ODR b-sides, likely because they had no interest in supporting Alter Bridge when doing so would undermine Creed's chances of reuniting.

According to Wikipedia the catalogue purchase was in 2013, and the label acquisition was in 2015. So, fairly recent.
I seem to recall Dan C tried to include the b-sides in the ABX box set but was ultimately unsuccessful. That was in the 2014 timeframe, amidst all the acquisition activity. Perhaps it became easier to deal with them now it's been a couple years and the dust has settled.

Does anyone know if there will be a digital release? Or is it physical only?
Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities
You can find the digital pre-order at iTunes, Google Play and everywhere else now.

8/10? Well okay then. For fans of Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden?
