I'm still quite proud of that review :-) |

| | I read your review Nick.. spot on. I think I saw Eric at Leicester on that tour. 33s + 45s could have been written for us all on this site. It is always a highlight of the live set.
As for the pre-ordering of the CD, there was (actually - still is, I just checked!) a Yahoo! Groups site for the appreciation of Eric's music.. this was around 2003/4 before facebook, twitter et al. which had at most 70 subscribers. Which was probably where I was made aware of any new releases, tours etc. back then.
(As for the question you didn't ask.. just the usual higher res. larger picture. Nothing personal ;-) ) |

| | Cheers Bod. Yes, mine are not pale and not rough so I assume he had good stock with him on tour. Funny that I bought it the day before release though! Was a great gig - we have it listed, together with my review (published in a local music magazine), here.
(I won't ask why my front cover has therefore been hidden, lol).
Incidentally I think "33s + 45s" is the best song he's ever written. Just brilliant. |

| | Looks like he had changed them already. The original ones are thick and very rough matt card, like cartridge paper. The printing is consequently paler with less well defined colours. |

| | I can't see the difference - is it the thickness of the paper? I bought mine direct from Eric at a gig the day before launch - it looks fine and is on thick gloss medium. Perhaps Eric had already fixed his own stock himself? |

| | There is an interesting story to go along with this release. As you can see in Eric's letter, he was not happy with the original artwork for this CD. So he replaced it all, this included the presumably few copies that had already been sent out from his own Southern Domestic mail order site. He sent out the replacement packaging for the customer to change themselves. Sorry Eric, I kept mine. I include scans of the Original recycled toilet paper booklet (Images 1091213 & 1091215)
What a lovely man he is. |
