probably £4.01 cheaper the the chaps, but id rather get it from them and they'll get a decent cut , they probably get crab all when hmv flogs it for 9 quid
There was an interesting "as told by" one of Spiers or Bowden post about the difference in profit for sales from retailers and the bands own web sites. The cut they get for "full price" retail sales is pretty low. In short, if you can afford it, buy from as close to the artist as you can get. They may be around longer that way. |

I'll be getting my copy from the chaps - hopefully at Tewkesbury. I try to buy CDs/merch direct from the artist/label wherever possible (eg Wobble @ 30Hz, Fripp @ DGM) - one of the benefits of the internet.

According to the flier from the chaps I received yesterday they are revamping their website to coincide with the release of the new CD. Part of the revamp will be the opportunity to buy the new CD direct from them using paypal. No mention of price but its another option for those who maybe can't get to a gig or won't be seeing them until after the CD is released.
And the flier says the release date is the 12th feb.

Might be Amy, I think this conversation has happened before  Its the standard newsletter and from memory (I'm at work its at home) it has some words from CL, the gig list for the Wintour, pic of the chaps in front of the minibus, the info about the website being revamped and being able to buy, i think everything, via paypal. I think they said part of the driver for this was the success of selling last years Cropredy tix this way (did they? I can't remember). There's a bit about Peej and Peggy's new CD and a tour list for them. Mention of the R2 young folkies winners who will (as we know) be appearing at Cropredy. And probably other stuff I've forgotten  cheers MikeC |

Sounds as though you've memorised it photographically Mike!
Maybe mine will come in today's post which is always very late in the day.
Yes Crop tix could be paid for via Paypal last year.

Hopefully Ì/we´ll be at Cropredy in August and I don´t want to wait that long! . So the Fairport webshop is welcome for all of us Fairporters living outside the UK. I just hope I´ll be able to order it soon, the CD has some travelling to do!  Staffan |

Amazon are showing it at £8.99 as well.
But you'll have to pay for postage, unless you buy something else taking the total above 15 quid... is HMV postage free? |

Bit of a conflict here. As there will be a run through of FC history on the Saturday of Crop, how will the chaps fit in the obligatory 90% of the new album? I suppose quite a lot of OtNH will get the chop.

I do hope so. Whilst I find the live renditions of some of the tracks from OtNH more agreeable than the recorded versions, I would rather listen to (in order of preference) the back catalogue with past members guesting, the back catalogue by the current line up, the "new" tracks from the current line up. |

Thanks PaulT.
Interestingly Nigel says the release date is Monday 14th Feb. I think its a typo and he means Monday 12th. That would coincide with the info on the latest flyer and on the HMV site.
