38 Demo CDs free. First come, first served

[Filterlab]

Tin-tin out in '65? I thought they were much later. I have their remix of Always something there to remind me.

Good afternoon colleagues. All 38 CDs have now been allocated and quite a few were sent today – fresh jiffy bag and second class post. The rest will go out tomorrow. Not all of them went to forum people as I was at the same time as making this offer to you all, I was doing so my blog site. Well, not a blog site exactly but a sort of bulleting board thingy. http://blog.listencarefully.co.uk/

Anyway, I got a real buzz about giving things away. And so towards the end of this month, I’ll be doing it again. Only CDs. Can’t do with equipment – although I truly wish I could. Same sort of thing as before. However I think in fairness, preference to those who’ve not already had a couple of freebie music CDs from me should be granted.

Quite a few people offered to pay UK postage and/or make a donation to charity. Very kind and most unexpected and no, I won’t hear of it. I'm touched though.

Sincerely

HP

Hey, have you nabbed the 'Pinky & Perky' CD? It was the rare 'Tin-Tin Out 1965 dub remix', too... Howard promised he was keeping it for me

Marco.

A true story. Many years ago, long before e-bay became the default source for buying and selling CDs and vinyl, I would from time to time insert a bogus lineage advert in amongst the dozens of legitimate albums I was trying to sell in Record Collector Magazine. The idea was that the curious and inquisitive would point the spoof line and of course the entire ad to others.

One such bogus album was “A Tribute To Hendrix” by Pinky and Perky. As it turned out, nobody had previously thought to do a such a daft thing as this. I know this because I received a phone call from the pleasant and perplexed editor who, as it turned out, was a Hendrix man through and through.

Sheepishly he told me that while he wasn’t sure if it was a spoof or not, he was sufficient intrigued to make the call – “just in case”. A nice attitude on his part, no telling off and no requirement nor request not to insert spoof ads again. Happy days, those were.

Incidentally, Record Collector Magazine is now very much more than the title would suggest. It’s a damn fine read and the interviews and reviews are easily worth the price of admission alone.

Hi Howard,

Thanks again for the generous offer. I think that I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say that it is much appreciated!

As an aside, a chap called Robin (doodoos) joined us the other day and said that he found us through a link on your blog or website, and for the life of me I can't find any mention of The Art of Sound either on you blog or website

If such a link exists, could you provide a link to its whereabouts? Or even better include us on here:

That would be very much appreciated.

Best regards,
Marco.

My three CDs came this morning. Thanks Howard

I got:

A test CD which will certainly be interesting.

Hits of the Beachboys - a compilation from 2002 - Tasha will snaffle this one.

Born in the USa Volume 2 - a compilation by Mojo. I'm looking forward to giving this one a spin.

My pleasure. Really. A fine weekend to you all. Sincerely, HP.

Ditto for me, Howard (although the CDs were different) so thanks a lot

The bass test CD should be interesting so I will report on that in due course.

Marco.

Thank you very much for the discs,which arrived this morning.

Spinning Nina Nastasia & Jim White for a second time now,after giving it a clean.I think maybe honey from your morning toast may have dribbled onto it.



Re. The Stereonow Test CD,being a bass freak I love it.

Thanks again for your generosity,Howard.

Hi Howard,

Many thanks for the fantastic discs. I will give them a spin (well, import them first) tonight and have a good listen. The bass test disc I will use once I've moved out of my flat.

Thanks again, very generous.
