Title: Ahem! Talking With Strangers at No 4 in a Best of 2009 chart
Post by: jude on January 31, 2010, 09:05:01 PM
Prog'opolis Radio in the US have put TWS in their Best of 2009 chart at No 4

http://www.thedividingline.com/p

Now I'm not one to boast but I am a bit delighted by this ;D ;D ;D

Along with being in two critics Best of 2009 charts in Classic Rock Presents Prog (haven't actually seen it yet because I haven't actually been to buy the magazine. Have to save up a bit... ::))

I am definitely going to have to have new doorways built for my increasingly big head :D

It's well deserved. I love the album, and the Classic prog Rock magazine is very complementary.

I was given a copy for Christmas. If you haven't got one by Cropredy you can have mine  :)

It really is a bostin album Jude, looks like a lot of the media think so as well.

Many congratulations, Jude.  

As Adrian says, it is indeed lovely - a most apposite adjective - I feel that a lot of love was poured into its making, and it's much-loved in our house.

Great, Judy, great, and well deserved. I'm twice happy because my pessimism about the relationship between good music and charts is temporary suspended by this good news.

We now have the new stock of TWS with the new Jackie Morris artwork and it is looking really beautiful.

If anyone who has bought the album would like to have the new booklet please would they email Jon at jon@brilliantmusic.biz and he will send you one.

It might take a bit of a while for him to send them though so be prepared for a bit of a wait.

He's busy managering me and that takes all day.. ::) :D

That's a very kind gesture, Dame Judy, and one which I shall certainly take you up on.

Nice one Jude.

Koldo never got round to selling prints of the original booklet, which is a shame.

Sadly HMV seem to have withdrawn the TWS cd from their shelves, I attempted to buy the cd in both Southampton & Birmingham branches of HMV last week, in both stores I was told I could order a vinyl copy priced at £23.   ???

No it's not withdrawn.. we sold out! :)

Delay was in re-pressing with new artwork

I will check with Jon theM to see when it will be back in stock.

The vinyl LP is the Tonefloat limited edition with signed postcard...

You can always email Jon and get one from him!

Yus, indeed, version 1 with the John Hurford cover exceeded all expectations, and caught me on the hop a little, and sold out when HMV plugged it as 'specialist album of the year' and shhh..here's an inside secret, the first press of the new Jackie Morris cover was mispressed from a non mastered version of the album, so its got 15 second track gaps, and pops, and clicks and other wierd noises.

So, I have a cupboard full of extreme rarities, that I fully expect to keep me warm in my old age :-)

This has meant a slight delay in stocking shops. But Universal inform me this morning, its all back in stock, and will be on the shelves next week. Martin, if you pm me your address, I'll stick you a copy in the post, no worries.

Thanks to all who have mailed me for a booklet, I'll have a go at those over the weekend. Hopefully....Probably!

Thanks Jude,
In that case it would appear staff of HMV are badly informed by their employer ( not an uncommon situation) and albeit unintentionally, they are misleading customers. In both locations I was told the cd was no longer available and it was not possible to order a copy. I was given the distinct impression the cd had been discontinued, no mention was made of waiting for delivery of the re-pressed cd.
As I said previously, HMV staff simply said the only thing they could order, was the vinyl. It might be helpful if HMV inform their staff of the true position and instruct them to be prepared to take advance orders.

Thanks John, pm on it's way

It was deleted from our system, seems to have been an error on the automatic feed from Universal.
I've reactivated it now.

 I've been out being pumped full of drugs (O the crazy lifestyle of a rheumatoidal frog rock singer ::)) so it's good to know the problems have been sorted out while I've been eating cheese sandwiches while attached to a machine... 8)

Dear me Chris, you really should read my posts more accurately...

it's between 7 and 8pm tonight and repeated next Tuesday 16th between 10 and 11 pm,

And I'm afraid the rare unreleased track won't be played tonight.. it is being saved for the Anthology which is slowly being organised.. I think we might have just talked about it on this progamme..
