34p/track for the download. Not so bad really. But you still have to really want it, I guess.

I preordered, as they say now, this on 4LP. Thinking the CD version might have been a better buy, as you get lots more material. The extra stuff you get as downloads with the 4LP version, but I've not much use for downloads. |

Personally I think the download cost is outrageous, but maybe I'm out of touch. |

Compare also the amazon price £79 for the 4LP with Earth's.price. |

I suspect they're not able to negotiate a lower price, which of course Amazon can due to economies of scale. But it is a LOT extra  |

But it is a LOT extra Amazon don't negotiate anything, they just demand a huge discount (up to 70%) off the publisher/record company etc. One just puts up or shuts up. Even Colin who put it together seemed surprised by how much Earth are charging. I wonder if they're effectively charging for the digital release as well as you get that through Bandcamp...but whatever, it does seem very disjointed. |

I believe that is a spoof of the just announced, genuine but equally absurd McCartney box. |

Cherry Red are releasing a 2CD set of Monsoon's 1st album "Third Eye" this coming Friday. As "Ever So Lonely" is one of my favourite songs (and I had this LP way back then), I shall be buying this one!

I was sad to read this: In 2009, Chandra began experiencing symptoms of what was eventually diagnosed as BMS (burning mouth syndrome), as a result of which she is unable to sing, speak, laugh or cry without suffering intense pain. She has thus been rendered effectively mute. As a result of her illness Chandra retired from music. |

Everything she released on Real World Records is exceptional in my opinion, in particular an a Cappella reworking of Ever So Lonely (Eyes/Ocean) which is an absolute showstopper.

That began shortly after her involvement with The Imagined Village. Very sad, and I really feel for her. Cheers Nick |
