March 3rd 2004 Happy days, the CDs are ready and Jenny has already dispatched some, and people have begun receiving them. I cannot wait to receive mine. There are only a few copies left and at the moment there are no plans to print more so if you want one mail Jenny asap.Distribution
We have ordered a small quantity [1000] of professionally printed
CDs. At the moment we have orders for almost 900. If you would like to order a copy
please mail Jenny
with details of your order. Only production + shipping will be charged
for. Each CD costs $1.69 + postage. Please note that this is a non-profit
venture. The focus is to raise awareness of Vic's music. |
Media Coverage
Northwest Public Radio in the US have done interviews with Barbara, Anna, Clarke and Cheddarcat and did a feature on the project. Unfortunately it has been taken down from their site so if anyone has the transcript could they pass it on to me.Vic's Reaction
Vic himself has heard about the project and says he is interested to hear the finished product.Here's what he said on Northwest Public Radio about it: "It’s kinda heavy really, for me to think about, people sitting around and thinking about me at all! It’s impossible really for me to get big headed like that cause I am so full of self loathing. There’s been fan web pages for years that are really wonderful that I would go to from time to time to look at. Sometimes right before a show to get lyrics for one of my old songs that I couldn’t remember. I thought, ‘oh I need to do this song tonight, but I don’t remember the words,’ so I would go to the fan page to get lyrics. But I’ve always made a point of avoiding contact with them because I thought I would spoil it for them, spoil it if they knew me personally."Hassaw for the participants!
A big thank you to everyone involved especially to Anna for taking the time to co-ordinate everything, Jenny for the excellent artwork and for organising the printing and distribution of the cds and Barbara for all her good work promoting the cd. Thanks to Northwest Public Radio for their feature on the project. A big thanks to Matt for the re-mastering and finishing the cd and to Vic Chesnutt himself and Laura Claar at Bugmusic for allowing us to proceed with this project.Links
