So their Derick Harriott re-issue is available in a limited release of 1,000 copies for their fan club... A premium price for a re-issue predicated on a small release? And what happens 6 months from now when the same disc is repackaged and released again?  |

If you're looking for a Latin phrase to describe the Trojan war Bill, surely it should be "fait accompli". Trojan release records by people and then tell them later about it when they're found out. It's been that way under Emil Shallitt, Marcel Rodd, Colin Newman and now Sanctuary.
I'm still waiting for them to tell me about all my articles that they've used as artworek on CD sleeves as printed in Black Echoes 25 years ago. All they've done is used my copyrighted writings and merely left off my name.

Latin derivation though: Fait accompli comes from the French, literally meaning "accomplished fact": fait, from Latin factum, "a thing done," from factus, past participle of facere, "to make or do" + accompli, past participle of accomplir, from Latin ad- + complere, "to fill up, to complete," from com- + plere, "to fill."
