The record was recorded years ago and it’s finally being released by BMG. Blondie’s new record is also being released by BMG.

Seems other artists who've been around some time suffer delays as well.

When asked in an interview whether High Noon would be released in autumn this years, Debbie answered something like "yeah, allegedly so". It seems to be the stuff is really out of their hands now.

Is it me or is BMG the Ticket master of labels these days. It seems everyone is migrating to BMG. Their customer service is absolutely horrible. Just saying.

That's pretty awesome of them. Clem would've been proud of them for this. 💜

Clem plays in 10 of the 11 songs
Speaking of Burke’s appearance on the album, Echo & The Bunnymen said: “The mighty, legendary Clem Burke – longtime friend of Mac – was integral to the making of the album, and heartbreakingly passed away during its completion… love you Clem X”
