Yo Bill.

That was a greatly entertaining and absorbing read,thanks for sharing man.

That cover is pure magic. You've paid attention to all the details,rather unlike myself who wasted no time at all on that side..and it shows!  :D

Very classy and professional Bill. I'll be grabbing a copy for sure.  8)

Great story Bill, thanks for the glimpse behind the curtain of your process. I have found it on Deezer and will be giving it a spin (or several) later. Congrats on the release.
It's all too beautiful.

Hey Bill, don't think I ever fed back on your album - but just to say it's been living on my phone for a month or two and I've returned to it a lot... very nice, thoughtful work. I think 'Man in the Restaurant' is my fave but they're all good. I can see the consideration that went into them as a whole too, as you listen to the variation between tracks as it flows. It's a very 'English' collection isn't it... lots of poignant kitchen-sink details alluding to bigger themes. Very Ray Davies (fine company). Anyway, thanks for several hours of happy listening.

Hi @PaulyX

It is an album I am really proud of and pleased with, and when you throw everything into something, you hope it is appreciated by others. In the world most of us live in, that is a pretty rare thing so thank you so much for your comments. I can't tell you how great it is to know you have taken the time to listen a good few times. You have absolutely made my day.  I've been AWOL myself reviewing and listening on this forum for too long now - that will be rectified...

Thank you so much.

Thanks guys. You know, one of the most satisfying things about this was getting vinyl copies made, with the whole artwork thing going on. I just love having a physical product to show for it, as well as the online stuff and CD:
