Something to think of for the new year.

I think this has been done in the past but not for a while. Who would be interested in contributing to a forum compilation album ? I'm quite happy to take on board the organisation of this and I'm sure that with a such a rich array of talent on here we could get something together. Leave a comment on the thread if you're interested and any details of what extra you could possibly contribute apart from the music 

Cheers

what is forum compilation album?

Is it just a bunch of existing songs or are you talking about new stuff written for it?

[pompeyjazz]

Either

[Wicked Deeds]

New songs would be good.

I'd be happy to take WAV's of each song and create fade-ins, fade-outs of 10-15 second snippets for YouTube.

count me in.

I'd be happy to contribute a song - any theme?
If it's for youtube I could patch together a video like this one from last year.
Another idea would be that everyone provide a sound clip of themselves announcing their song

I would like to participate by creating an entirely new song for this
would there be a theme?

[Bill Saunders]

I would like to contribute for sure. I hope you don't get too many volunteers and have to start saying "sorry mate" too often

I wasn't really thinking of a theme per se, it was more a "This is the UK Songwriters Forum" showcase album highlighting what diversity we have on here 

Digital is obviously the cheapest way to do it, possibly via Bandcamp but if anybody is interested in Physical format I can investigate that too. It costs roughly £250 to duplicate and print 100 CD's

Hi John

I think it's a great idea.

I'd like to see us all writing new songs for this...and I'd be up to giving it a go.

I got my CDs colour printed in card covers full colour printed both sides for less than 50 quid delivered (50 disks)

I could create and or prepare artwork for print if required and put you in touch with my duplication contact.

[Hooded Singer]

I'm in.

If we have to write and record a new song for it rather than using one from our back catalogs, let us know the deadline.

Hi Tone...

That sounds like a fantastic deal...I’d like the CD guys details, please...if that’s ok. Could you PM me them?

Thanks!

I did read somewhere that artwork is well worth spending a bit of time on...and not just to distract from the music

Tone did the artwork for my album. It's nothing short of stunning.  I used the same CD duplicator that's tone used but it is now a little more expensive though very affordable.

Guys I've done this before on a forum, and it just sat on Bandcamp collecting dust instead of attention.
If you aint got the means to attract people to it, there's little point doing it IMO.
It's not cool to be negative, but I reckon we'd have more luck with a nude calendar.
