My thoughts....

1. I want physical CDs, but it costs too much to mail them to me, although I might be able to arrange something with a friend in Canada. It looks like shipping to Canada is a fraction of the cost of shipping to the U.S.A. I need to check on carrying them across the border, though. <<pause while I do that>>  Okay, it's going to be complicated to find out if I can have a CD shipped to my friend in Canada and then go to her house and pick it up and carry it across the border. So I think I'd like to download WAV files, if they'll be available, so I can burn my own.

2. I want to contribute to the costs, and I want to sell copies. Where do I send the money? And how? PayPal would be pretty easy for me. And I will need cover art and CD label art. Oh dear, this is going to be complicated. Well, I'll figure that part out. Maybe I'll forget about the physical CD thing and just tell people where to buy digital copies online. And doesn't CD Baby do physical CDs on demand? I could have that wrong....

So those are my disjointed thoughts. In case they're helpful. ::)  :P ???

I've never done one but maybe a kickstarter campaign would be a place to manage all the finances?
A CD would be cool, but I'd just be ripping it to a thumb drive anyway. But still, a CD would be cool  ;D

I've done a physical Cd before so don't worry as I know what's involved. We'll get there  :)

Happy to have a go at artwork if you're still looking.

Hi John! I just wanted to mention that I have no interest in Cds.

Where will the digital album be available? I'll buy my copy there and send my friends there as well.

I was thinking Bandcamp as I've used that before.

I need to set up a new profile on Bandcamp and also sort out a bank account and paypal account to keep all the money we're going to make separate  ;D

Hopefully I should have done this in the next few days but pretty busy with other stuff at the moment

UPDATE

Boydie has done a cracking job and completed all the masters.  I've created a Bandcamp page which is private atm and uploaded all the songs there.

Artwork..... Have had several offers for getting the artwork together and @nooms  and @Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra have kindly sent me examples. How do we choose which artwork to use ????

Sleeve Notes @ScottLevi are you up for this, otherwise we could ask everyone to provide an artist profile to add to the Bandcamp page or I could use existing Soundcloud profiles ?

Physical CD, more news soon

Cheers all

John

I'd love a copy when it's finished if you are doing CD that would be great

What info do you need from us again, John? Will we need to get an ISRC number so that it can be embedded into our songs? Just learnt that there was such a thing, do don't know much about the whole process. ??? ??? ::) ::)

I don't use Bandcamp, but will it also be available on iTunes?

Cheers,

Kevin

I can get it available on all digital platforms for naff all via amuse.  But before I do that we need artwork and a few words. ...
