This album went onto the digital streaming/downloading platforms early in September. The CDs arrived shortly after that. Two days ago the double LP showed up. I think they look great! My friend Bill Allen created the prints that my friend Sean de Burca then incorporated into the graphics you see here. There’s a photo of the inside of this album at the end of this post.

It contains all the music from the CD plus a remixed version of my tune Who Knew A Man Of Honor Would Be So Hard To Find. Why the remix? Because my friend Alex Lifeson (yes, that guy) played on this track. He wound up too far back in the mix when this tune was first released (on my album titled SB which was released in 2023). Alex contributed a cool textural element to this tune and I think that when Kim Person originally mixed it, she didn’t quite get it. I slipped up and didn’t explain it well enough and so that part wound up, as I said above – too far back in the mix. The tune went out into the world. But it kept bugging me so I decided a remix was needed. This time I explained it to Kim something like this: yes, Alex’s part is a little unsettling, I know. However – we live in unsettling times and that was the point of what he contributed to the tune. Rather than making it lower in the mix, let’s try embracing it. This is clearly what I should have said two years ago. When the music got mixed this time, Kim was all in. Where Alex had originally faded his part out before the tune ended, this time Kim wanted more of it. So not only did we increase the level of his part, now there’s also more of it. She tweaked some of my electric guitar parts as well, and the end result is that we now have a much better mix than the original (which wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t quite what I thought it should be).

I used 180 gram vinyl, not the flimsy stuff.

You can see the liner notes for this double LP here:

If you would like a copy, they are $50 if you get one in person. If you need one shipped to you, then $55 will cover it for the continental US. I’ll have to check on shipping for Alaska and Hawaii. Since international shipping is a complete pain in the rear end these days, sorry, I can’t do it.

I will also throw in a copy of my Powhatan Suite LP that was recorded by an orchestra in Germany some years back. Being my own worst critic, that project didn’t turn out exactly as I’d hoped (for reasons almost entirely having to do with the first track), but I have received several correspondences lately from people who just happened upon this album that reminded me that there is much to love on it!
