Who wants Fred Simon 'Since Forever' on vinyl?!

i'll start off by saying I WANT ONE

Simon,

That is a very gracious offer, but my cd copy arrived over the weekend. I think I would now struggle to justify a second copy on vinyl to the wife. Had it been available before I would have ordered it on vinyl.

I was away over the weekend playing golf with a bunch of old school mates so I have only had a couple of listens so far. It follows confidently in the footsteps of Remember The River, which is hardly surprising given the personnel involved, with a lovely cover of In A Silent Way. Must give it another spin.

Regards

Nic

Hi Simon

I would buy Fred Simon's 'Since Forever' from Naim on double 180gm vinyl.

ATB Rotf

I'll take two.

Fred

Really enjoying listening to the CD. I think the addition of drums to this group line up is a good thing. I'll take a copy of the vinyl.

Count me in.

Larry

Me too.

You can have my money up front if it will help?

Mine too.

Simon, I will happily buy one.

That an electronics company should invest time and resources into a music label is reason enough for supporting a project of this kind in my opinion.

I would futher argue that this commitment to music is one the many reasons that Naim receives and deserves such a loyal customer base.

Add to that... Fred Simon, a company that listens and responds to it's customers and, the extra effort that Simon (and I assume his team) are putting into this deal means that me buying a copy of the album is a no brainer; in fact, to not buy one would be churlish and ungrateful on my part.

Best of luck with the project,

Gordon

Count me in.

Maybe if we all buy 10 copies each for Christmas presents, we might get there

Oooh, go on then I'll sign up for one

Stu, I like the way you think.

Another avenue to explore is a house concert, or multiple house concerts ... houses with enough space and a good piano.

All best,
Fred

Ho ho ho. Nice idea, but here in the UK the Performing Rights Society won't even let us play a radio at work without being threatened with jail, so using our houses for gigs would probably get us execution by hanging.
Music is illegal here in the UK unfortunately and we can only do it behind closed doors.
The police are always hunting the internet for forums like this, but luckily don't seem to have found us yet, but I'd keep your voice down just in case.

Well, Ewan, when music is outlawed, all the musicians will be outlaws. I've always been a rebel, so bring it on!

Besides, it wouldn't be a gig, it would be a private party.

All best,
Fred

Fred,

You are always welcome here. Plenty of rooms, but I doubt if the wife's upright piano is up to your standard.

When you are playing Hall 1 at the Sage we will gladly put you up . Hall 2 is nice as well, but just look at the piano in Hall 1 The Sage is my favourite local venue.

Really enjoying the new album BTW.

All the best

Nic

Thanks, Nic, for the kind offer and kind words.

Glad you're digging the new album. Don't know what your personal listening habits are, but I hope you're listening to it sufficiently LOUD ... comfortable, but loud enough to climb right inside of the music.

I've heard the 24/96 version in Ken Christianson's personal Garden of Sonic Delights, with a goodly dose of VOLUME, and it was powerful, if I must say so myself ... and I must!

Thanks again,
Fred

Yes, definately,

Ian

put me down for one as well,

Regards

PB

I'll take one as well just to help keep Fred in beer.

Sean.

I'll take one too.

Anthony

What news Simon? Is this likely to happen or should I buy the cd...

Gordon

Gordon,

we a few short of 200.

i was interested to see what interest we could drum up from the forum on this one, thanks for your support anyway.

i can tell you that our next few trips to abbey road to cut will be for the Gwyneth Herbert album, Empirical's upcoming project and Laurence Hobgood and Haden's (looks like it's gonna be a double!)

Although one could make the reasonable assumption that for every one person who replies here there must be at least eight more somewhere in the world who would buy one.

I think you should tell all the dealers that buying two copies each is a requirement of their dealership contract...and then just hope noone takes the time to checkout the small print!
