I don't know about that yet Tito. I know that sorting out where and how best to add the background info about where things were recorded, who's on drums before Lee joined etc. is taking longer than expected because there's about 7 hours of material so it's a time-consuming process and Bob's been busy with other projects. As soon as he's happy with how the Grail is structured it'll be handed over to the people who are releasing the package. We'll probably have a better idea of how it's going to be packaged and the price next year.
I personally think that it'll be a case of finding out how many people are interested before a price is fixed because everyone involved wants to keep the price reasonable.
Thanks for the info & update. Count me in for a copy signed by Bob himself if possible. Personally, we've waited so long for this stuff to be released I'd rather wait a little longer to get all the correct details, background info & maybe some pictures included to make this the ultimate insight into the making of both albums that we all want to hear.

What package are we talking about? Forgive me if this is common knowledge but last I heard the Grail recordings weren't going to be made available without the permission of the Osbournes.

Just to clarify, Bob is going to be releasing the Grail recordings? :shock:

So what if there isn't a lot of 'fanfare'? Van Halen's demos are treasures to Van Halen fans. Bob's tapes would be treasures to Randy, Bob & Ozzy fans. Does something have to be a financial windfall to be an important release?
It should be noted that the demo tapes were released for free I believe. Well I didn't pay anymoney for them and got them off of guitar101 web site a few years back.

Bob wants money. No one is going to pay for them. As there really isn't much money in them. I think that is the point.
Where did you hear that Bob wants money for the tapes? He tried to get the tapes released as part of the 30th anniversary box set , Sharon offered him a flat out fee. Bob refused and asked for a 2% royalty from sales and a say in how the tapes were cut. Why do you think Sharon refused to agree to 98% of an unknown number of sales of the box set and insisted on complete control of how the tapes were cut?
Does Bob regret not taking this offer now?
