Out of interest, will the new Fred Simon be available on vinyl as well Simon?

Regards

at present, no plans to do the vinyl. really will depend on how cd and download sales go!

we already know we'd LIKE to do it as Fred's music translates so well on the black stuff, so fingers crossed!

you can press as much or as little vinyl as you want. the price increases exponentially as the order size comes down though. unless we can do it properly and make it sound as glorious as it deserves, frankly it isn't worth it I am afraid. alot of times you see a limited edition pressing in the market, it is because they have thrown a cd-r at the pressing plant. our cutting process is a lot more rigorous and certainly does not involve cd-rs!
Sure if I wanted to do a crappy pressing I could run off a few hundred in a couple of weeks! But there wouldn't be much point.

I have been trying for this for years.

And I do appreciate your persistence, Stu. As I've always said, I'll come right over anytime someone asks ... I always answer my phone calls. Big Grin

Hope you enjoy the new album ... I'm really proud of it.

All best,
Fred

But i want it on vinyl as its my main listening form.
I know lots of others that want it on vinyl.

Regards to you and Sarah.
Hope to see you both over here one day.


Thanks again, Stu. I really appreciate it.

I dig vinyl, but the problem is duration limitations ... we had to leave tracks off Remember the River to make it fit, and if Since Forever is released on vinyl we'd have to do the same. Unless, of course, Naim releases it as a double LP!

Hope to see you at a gig over on your side of the pond some day. Keep on sounding that squeaky wheel!

All best,
Fred
