Merger Proposal

There's really no need for a separate article for Black monk time (official re-issue). All the content (that isn't repeated between the two articles) belongs in a single article about the album -- Foetusized (talk) 23:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I've Added Black Monk Time (2009 official US re-issue) to the merger proposal as well - no need for seperate article, as the extar info is already here Etron81 (talk) 15:49, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

I decided to be bold and merge them myself Etron81 (talk) 17:51, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I've been meaning to get back to this, but with a newborn in the house.... -- Foetusized (talk) 00:34, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal - Complication

Also the article on the reissue of the Complication Single can easily be covered in the section here Etron81 (talk) 16:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Merged this into a separate article on the single Etron81 (talk) 17:51, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Piracy issues related to some (all?) reissues

Apparently there is some piracy issue related to some editions of this album. A customer review on Amazon.com here mentions it. And the official website says

BLACK MONK TIME This album is available ONLY as an import and can be purchased through Amazon.com. This link takes you directly to the page regarding BMT This is a quasi-pirate, therefore The Monks make no royalties from it's purchase

However, I couldn't really get to the bottom of it just from reading these. Does anyone else have more information? If substantiated, this definitely should be included in the article. --WayneMokane (talk) 17:22, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The official website hasn't been updated in ages - The Repetoire one is definately a pirate, the Infinite Zero, Retribution, and Light in the Attic Releases are all legit and the Monks recived royalties from them, AIUI. The Polydor/Universal ones are legit, I woudl think as they are reissued by the orginal label (or successor), but I'm not sure the Monks get royalties from them. - I don't really have any sources for this, though - I think I just read it on the Monks' forum, which just recently moved servers and lost a lot of old postings Etron81 (talk) 17:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah just remembered where I read about the Repetoire one: link - Not it says that they Inifnite Zero release is the most comprehensive , which is no longer the case (the Light in the Attic one is now - has the recently discovered "Pretty Suzanne" recording and all that was on the Infinite Zero one, except for the demos, which they released seperately) Etron81 (talk) 23:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
