    Will the former members make any money / royalties off the reissue of this album? In the interview, the white guitarist
    said no one has came forth since the reissue by waxpoetics. How does this work? Should each member get a percentage?
    Is it left in escrow?

    Does anyone think that documentary was a little heavy on the Vietnam footage? I mean East of Underground were a bunch of soldiers stationed in West Germany to deter the Russians. They probably stayed there their whole tour. Obviously Vietnam was an issue, and they as soldiers thought about it, but it wasn't really what they went through.

    Great question, Burns!

    I'd like to know this as well if anyone is able to shed some light on it.

    yeah, this is what i thought too, the footage of them doing border patrols in Germany probably isn't quite as interesting viewing though..... gotta flesh it out somehow.

    I doubt any of the members own any of this, maybe any money goes to Uncle Sam & the songwriters. Just speculation though. Otherwise if they do then anything they're entitled to is probably just left in escrow I guess.

    Nice, thanks for the tip.

    What always intrigued me about East of Underground - the cover. You'd think an army band wouldn't be allowed to have one of the most righteous-yet-tripped-out covers EVER. Did they even know about the album/cover? I wonder who made it...
