Here we are, down to the final 20 wax artefacts of Saudade. When I set out to do hard copies via Bandcamp I wasnt relishing hundreds of trips to the post office, but I have to say that Ive actually enjoyed the direct line to listeners that doing the fulfilment brought about. Ive had some amazing feedback from customers thats like petrol in my artistic engine. Not something that occurs being one step removed going through shops. Well, two if you count the distributors as well. A few folk have suggested I repress on black vinyl but I like the fact that not making any more means the 200 have a bit more magic about them. I would prefer to keep it that way rather than turn it into a money grubbing exercise. And I did charge an exorbitant rarity tax after all. . .So focus shifts to its follow up which is about 70% completed, meaning Im on track for my intended release in late spring / early summer next year. Now Im a one man cottage industry, an annual solo release as a target is about right.
