The compilation above now exists, and people who already owned Gigapus on Bandcamp now own "Focus (A mid-life crisis compilation)" instead. (Otherwise it's five bucks, and includes a 45-page pdf - healthy notes from Tom on the purchase page too.)
this means that Gigapus has existed as:
a 14-track CD plus Metapus CD-Rom
a European CD with thirteen of the fourteen tracks mastered by the co-founder of Yello instead of Ellard
a 2xCD with the Dead Eyes Opened Remix 1994 EP included
an American single CD with no bonuses or differences
a CD plus Vidipus VHS
a 17-track Gigaplus CD-R reissue with one track swapped out for a remix, plus three bonus tracks / mixes
a 2xCD-R issue with the 14-track/one-track-swapped album remastered, and a bonus disc of demos, mixes and versions (also the Bandcamp version)
and a U2/iphone style 'surprise, you have a different record now'
In more rationalising, all the tracks from the Twister / Retread club mix compilation are now bonus tracks on "Dead Eyes Opened 94 ++", which is 100 minutes long and free for a limited time.
The 2019 live-versions-at-home farewell CD is set to be reissued, and will come off bandcamp once it's a physical item again. And the 1982 Blubberknife live-plus-8-tracks album is back up in its 2002 expanded form, for $5.

Always kicking myself for missing the show in Baltimore in Feb 2020, but I think he was not in the lineup? Came to this group too late love Petrol so much.

don't think Bradbury has been in a lineup in a longtime. Was interesting discovering some of his solo stuff, gave a good sense of what his contribution might have been.

(he was p much only involved in 1982-83 and 1985, but had solo and other-band releases on Terse Tapes beforehand and on Sevcom much later)

saw GB play live solo maybe 10 years ago, was an extremely good show - and as suggested upthread he definitely possessed a good amount of whatever made Sevs weird and great when they were weird and great

Upcoming livestream on Bandcamp
https://severedheads.bandcamp.com/merch/seance
We announce a Seance to be held with the departed spirits of Severed Heads for Halloween 2022. Based upon the freshly restored backing tapes and instruments used by the band in performances in the year 1982, before any hint of acclaim or recognition. You will enjoy an hour of sight and sound from beyond the grave (and probably a bit of in-studio malarkey if the OUIJA board is a bit dodgy. Please join us Saturday 8th October @ 7pm PDT. - The Severed Seance System

It's up for 48 hours replay, so latecomers might still be able to buy a ticket in that window? Worth it just to hear Tom doing a Beatles cover.
