UPDATE - Nov 15th. SOLD OUT. The fund drive was successful! We've done this before. We can do it again. This time we have a time limit so I can concentrate on making the record knowing the funding I have. http://shop.lloydcole.com/products/my-2013-album Here's what I wrote on the webshop page - My last album Broken Record was partially financed by fans who pre-ordered the deluxe limited edition, and the regular album. I am trying it again. This time it will be much simpler - only the deluxe limited edition version will be available for pre-order. And it should be clear to those of you who choose to pre-order it that you are basically executive producing the album, and I thank you in advance. This pre-order will be available from today until November 22. I need to know what my budget is before we begin recording. 600 will be for sale. After November 22 we will not accept pre-orders. The design of the deluxe edition has only just begun in very abstract terms, but the concept is simple. It will be small and beautiful. It will not be a box. It will contain 2 CDs. One will be the album, the other a bonus CD of outtakes which will not be available any other way. Each copy will be individually numbered and will come with a matching card addressed to you personally, with thanks from me, signed by me. The CD sleeve will not be signed. It will be shrink wrapped and untouched. We will pack the cards and CDs here in Massachusetts and all orders will be shipped from here. Shipping to anywhere is included in the price. Please let us know who you would like the card addressed to. The album - it will be all new material. It will be at least 80% written by me. Maybe 100% Recording begins in Los Angeles the week after thanksgiving. Fred Maher, Matthew Sweet and I will record basic tracks. We will work Blonde on Blonde style. I will not be making demos. I will arrive with complete songs that I can play on guitar and we will go from there. I'm excited. I will complete the album in Massachusetts and New York. I expect the album to be for sale in late Spring / early Summer 2013. The Deluxe edition will ship two weeks before the album is officially released. |
