We did a cover of a Hold steady song for the new album but it didn't make
the final cut.
Since Gerard has been made head of dept at BIMM he just doesn't seem to
have any free time these days. This is the single biggest reason for the
delay in releasing the album on CD. I'm also doing up to 16 hours per day
at The Fleece trying to make it work (we're still not quite breaking even
- mainly due to everyone drinking in the pub next door! - but that's a
whole new debate).
Gerard mentioned putting out the album as a double CD with an outtakes
bonus like with the Swagger Deluxe release. (The Hold Steady song would
make it on to the bonus CD). I think this would be a great idea as it
would go some way towards appeasing everyone who has had to wait for so
long and also because I think some of the tracks which didn't make the
final cut are great. Obviously I can't give you any idea of time scale but
can only assure you that it's in hand. It makes sense to get a label
behind the band and do the CD release properly rather than getting Sam to
burn a load of copies and then just flogging them at gigs and through the
website.
For now all I can ask is that you are bear with us. The band will deliver
in the end and it will be worth the wait (I said this about the album in
general and there have been few complaints from those who have heard it)
Apologies for my lack of posts recently but I hardly get any time at all
these days and I don't want to appear rude if i don't reply to any
questions that come up.
Can't wait for the gig in 3 weeks time. 117 tickets sold already (Fiddlers
pre-sales are usually on about 50 at this stage). Is this due to the
publicity surrounding the new album? The Fleece's fab marketing? Or maybe
just cos it's £10 adv / £15 on the door!!
Who knows.
Chris
