Former BLACK SABBATH Singer TONY MARTIN Offers Update On Solo Album

January 15, 2005

BLACK SABBATH fan site Black Sabbath Online has posted the following message from ex-SABBATH singer Tony Martin regarding his upcoming solo album, "Scream":

"Well, here we are on the other side and guess what!.... It's still in the making. Yep, I tried to get this album ready for the WHOLE LOTTA METAL tour but it ain't happened. I wasn't able to find anyone that could press it in the time left and then there were a few small problems with one of the tracks so I had to go back over it.

"SO! Here's the deal, I reckon it's gonna be ready by the spring time, hopefully April and the idea is this: the limited-edition version will be available through us here since there will only be 2000 of them. I'm trying to release another version of it though with some different tracks on it through mainstream companies. The problem with that is some companies want it all for themselves and I wanna hook up with a few different ones to cover the different territories around the world, so there's still some discussions going on about that. The limited-edition version will have an interview track that I'm doing about the album and various other stuff plus the regular tracks and a SABBATH live track. The other album will have two different tracks swapped in the list and no interview track. Both albums will be called 'Scream' but will have different packaging so they have their own identities.

"Why am I goin to all this bother? Well, it seemed to me that it would be great to offer something special to those of who have really hung in there and been following my career closer than most, thus the limited edition through my site. This should be the first released, the mainstream one should follow later in the year.

"I may be trying to achieve the impossible here because some of the companies are resisting the non-exclusive licensing idea I've got, on the other hand there are others that don't mind so I'll let you know how that goes."
