SO MANY ALBUMS, SO LITTLE TIME...
Will be mastering 'Stand By: Light Coming...' next month, and hopefully its companion piece 'The Last Lamplighter' too, but I'm also trying to make a decision on which of the older, unreleased albums to try and get out around a similar time.
One album that has already been sequenced and just needs mastering and artwork is 'Amplified Dreams And Wild Surprises.' This is a definite contender but, as it is a double album and will therefore take longer to transfer to Fairview Studio's mastering computer (and require more artwork for its packaging,) its release will have to be at least a couple of months behind the release of 'Stand By: Light Coming...'
I find it frustrating, having so much music recorded and waiting for release but the physical side of manufacturing and packaging can't be achieved instantly, it's a slow process and I have to be patient. I remember saying, in an interview in the 1970s, that albums should be released as frequently as magazines, i.e.: one per month. In musical terms, I'd still find that an exciting way to work but, in practical terms, there are so many barriers to the process.
I can but try...
A flyer for 'Amplified Dreams And Wild Surprises' which I'm hoping to get released this summer...
I've been especially waiting for 'Amplified Dreams and Wild Surprises'. From what I recall, Bill said a song or songs on it sound "like the Stones". I know that would be a very alternative version of that old band. But looking forward to how Bill puts his spin on it.
