For collectors, a couple of British/European releases to look out for. On 9 Jan
2012, Sony release a second "Original Rock Classics" 5 CD box set, this one
containing "At Budokan", "Dream Police" (expanded version), "One on One", "Lap
of Luxury" and Busted". On 30 Jan 2012, there is apparently yet another
re-release for the "Live in Australia" DVD, but this time, including an audio CD
of the show (which has never been released before to my knowledge). More details
on both of these can be found on www.amazon.co.uk
Cheap Trick merchandise can be found at the bands new online store -
www.cheaptrickstore.com
, and the bands "Zazzle" store also continues to offer a
wide range of logo and other products.
Don't forget to check the official website regularly. As always, cheaptrick.com
is always the first place to find news, up-to-date tour dates, photo's as well
