It's recorded, just waiting on the record company to release it. They never respond these days to queries, and have no idea what  songs have been done, just that it's re recorded CD era material, which is known anyway

If it's literally out of the GNR camp's hands and we're just waiting on movement from the label, it's good news...even if we have to wait months.

Sorry, I didn't want to imply it's in the record labels hands, there is material ready to go when whoever pushes the button. I don't know who the decision maker is. Universal have this 360 approach to bands now, so I think it's a team decision these days. If I was to use a bit of logic, I could guess that they released Hard School and Absurd, but there was a long wait for the vinyl, and because of that, there was criticism. So, it may be that, on the back of that, the band are planning differently this time. It is better to release material with physicals, because it has a better impact on charts, and the bands legacy.

Further to that, there is implication that they are returning to Europe, after the recent cancellation of the Glasgow gig, so the dates might go on a bit longer, in which case, there is a bigger window to release material.

In any means, I have found their contact at Universal, so I will maybe get something from that.
