Y&T - Live In Holland DVD Due Out This Summer
March 2, 2007, 17 years ago
San Francisco’s legendary rockers Y&T; have been busy reissuing their back-catalog: last year saw Black Tiger (1982) and Mean Streak (1983), complete with bonus material. Earlier this year Earthshaker (1981) and In Rock We Trust (1984) were given the overhaul treatment. More details and ordering info can be found here.
In the meantime, leader Dave Meniketti spoke to BW&BK; recently about their forthcoming DVD. "Yes, well, right now, we’re actually finished just looking through stuff for a DVD that is coming out. We have a DVD that we recorded in Holland in October of last year, and it should be coming out in the summertime, so that’s all in the works right now, being mixed. We’re hoping that we’re going to actually get in the recording studio and start writing brand new material for the first time in a long time. That’s the thought right now. And of course, we’re always going to keep on the idea of releasing product that hasn’t been out in the marketplace before on CD, or for a long time. There are few were old records from Universal… well, Universal owns everything that we did, basically up until the ‘90s. Because everything on A&M; and everything that was Yesterday & Today records on London, and all the stuff that we did on Geffen, all three of those record companies were absorbed by Universal. So at least it’s a one-stop shopping center for us. We just go to Universal for all the old releases, to get the licensing back to release them.”
