Subject: Franke & The Knockouts

Message Detail:
They had several hits in the '80's that I really liked. I had most their LPs.
However, finding their songs, unedited, from tape, not vinyl mastering, at a reasonable cost, is nearly impossible. Escape Records (UK) reissued their LPs. Here in the states, Razor & Tie Records published a Greatest Hits CD. All the above are out of print and demands up to $69 for a single CD album!

Franke Previte (from New Jersey) appears to be working on a project from Dirty Dancing in memory of his friend, Patrick Swayze.
Once notified of this project, I suggested a reissue of Franke & The Knockouts great songs, knowing how hard they are to come by. It appears Franke holds the master and/or session tapes. He will consider the request later on! Don't want Franke & The Knockouts to become obscure before their time!
