Paul_Minkkinen: Last Christmas you mentioned that you were to release a live album, is that still going to happen, also are you going to do any Uk dates next year, we missed you !
Collectors' Choice Music, one of the most venerated pop music reissue labels, will launch a series of 15 CDs from the vaults of Elektra Records on February 21st, 2005. Carefully curated with the input of Elektra founder Jac Holzman, and licensed from Rhino, each of the reissues will be mastered from the original tapes with original album art plus liner notes featuring quotes from Holzman himself.
The series features What's Shakin', a long-out-of-print 1966 anthology that featured Powerhouse, an ad hoc band that included Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton.
Many fans recently have written about the use of "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" in a Republican National Committee Video about opposition to the war in Iraq. Steve Winwood was not aware of the RNC's plan to use Traffic's music, nor did he authorize the song's use in any way. We are currently working to have the song removed from the video.
