Never mind all that.
I've just had the test pressings of my album delivered.
I'm extremely excited and there is no way I can do any work now.

Except that you're excited.

it's that when a chap gets into this state he is liable to 'lose control'.

I have to say I'm rather jealous.
I mean, obviously I'm not jealous that you have a test pressing of your god-awaful Kershaw drivel LP, I really, REALLY don't want one, but nothing I've ever recorded ever made it to that stage.

Well it has cost a fair few quid, which realistically we are unlikely to make back.
But some of these will survive longer than I will, so I can die happy now.*

*Yes, I know this would make you all happy too.

But Zippo pays her well

Zippo's son Lee Carter once tried out for keyboards for Electric Head Funk.
He was fucking dreadful. Nice lad though.

I hope they're warm vinyl rather than that tepid shit CD malarky.

There are no plans to issue the album on CD.

If you want to sell records
you should definitely only release on a medium that the majority of people haven't owned since the Eighties.

I didn't say it was only getting a vinyl release.
I said that it wasn't getting a CD release.
If we are talking about dead/dying formats then CDs are the ones that will ultimately become obsolete.

I feel fortunate that I can get the benefit of everyone's expertise on the music industry here.
Who knew that you were all such authorities on these matters?
(, Fri 23 Nov 2012, 11:06, Reply)
Well, yes.
But CDs are still the majority medium, barely. Or they're second, anyway. Difficult to hand out mp3s from a suitcase.

It's only Monty and the other Hoxton lensless spectacle pricks that have gramophones these days.

That's a good idea.
Means you don't have to spend loads of money on a pressing, too.

And you can recycle them easier than CDs
and they're less of a burden on landfill.

You need to write a different album for each fan, you know a bit like the supermarkets do.
