Hi Janice,
Received the box yesterday. It is wonderful. After all the manufacturing horror stories, I wasn't expecting it to be so good. This set is better than a lot of other collections I have. Well done!

Dear Janice,
This week i received your cd's: best day of the year! At this moment i like "girl afraid" most (I don't like the original very much), but i havent listened to all cd's yet. What an incredible project. I am very happy you did this.
Greetings Jaap
Creator A.J. Dickerson on July 29, 2011
Congrats! Very exciting.
Creator Harald Veldman on May 26, 2011
Yeah, great news, Janice! Very excited to see The Smiths Project Box Sets. And curious about Morrissey's and Johnny Marr's reaction. Keep us posted and good luck to you and your packing partners.
Creator Janice Whaley on March 5, 2011
Thank you all SO MUCH!!! I'm still totally overwhelmed by all your support!!
Creator Rik Nicholson on March 1, 2011
Well, you kind of blew that goal out of the water...
Congratulations, Janice!
Creator Jaap Kimmel on February 25, 2011
Dear Janice,
Just heard today of the project via a Dutch newspaper 'NRC Handelsblad'.
I have listen to a few numbers and I'm impressed and are a backer now.
And great sleeves too!
Regards.
Jaap

What an inspiration. Just being able to dedicate yourself to a project of this magnitude says a lot about your character. Now you know you can do whatever you set your mind to! Congrats!

Hey, where do you want us to leave our names and mailing addresses?
Creator dominicvine on February 7, 2011
Hello Janice... i look forward to hearing the whole project... a friend (who also backed) told me about this through facebook and i read bits of your blog and listened to some songs... but the mere act of it all kept circling through my brain: you're truly an inspiration and i'm glad to be kicking you some cash and hope all this icing on the cake helps you to make another record. blessings, gratitude and admiration: Sing Your Life.

Thank you, Carolyn!!
Creator Carolyn Paluch on January 7, 2011
I could not give much, but I think this is a project that definitely needs to happen. Glad to hear of all of your immense success. Best, Carolyn

Paul, I promise you won't have to wait more than a month or two tops to start hearing new music again. :)
Creator Paul Campbell on January 3, 2011
Happy New Year Janice - it's been a real pleasure to follow your progress over 2010; the prospect of 2011 seems a little duller without your regular posts and updates, but the opportunity to become a backer & contribute in some small way to the project has been a real privilege. All the best to you and yours in the years to come.
Creator Jeremy Gotsch on December 30, 2010
Congrats, Janice, on making your goal so quickly! I can't wait to hear about your ideas on "different layouts and styles" when/if the pledged budget increases...
Creator Janice Whaley on December 30, 2010
Thank you to Tym for helping the project reach its goal! Everything from here on is icing on the cake!
Creator Eric Wayne Norlander on December 30, 2010
Thanks for the quick reply Janice. I thought that might've been the answer... Too bad about "Work..." though; even if Marr never liked it, I always thought it was a good little B-side!
Creator Tym Rourke on December 30, 2010
Janice -- congratulations on this amazing feat! Your dedication is inspiring, and I can't wait to hear the whole package! Glad to get you over the hurdle to the $3,500 goal -- you deserve it! :)
Creator Janice Whaley on December 30, 2010
Hi Eric, I should make a comment about the covers here on kickstarter since I only addressed it in the blog. I chose to only do the original Smiths songs because covers of covers is so redundant... BUT I did Golden Lights since it appeared on the major compilation Louder Than Bombs. If I had been able to squeeze in a few more songs, I might have done the others but OY, 71 songs on one year while working and parenting was challenge enough! :)
Creator d'Armond on December 30, 2010
Truly astounding accomplishment, and I'm thrilled to have found this. I listened to some of the audio on the website and it blew me away. How Soon is Now? was inspired, and I loved your take on Girlfriend in a Coma and Please Please Please, two of my personal favorites. I can't wait to get the boxed set!

Hi. Glad to have supported this project as soon as hearing about it... I'm only now going back to the blog to read a bit about the project and your background. Looking forward to learning a bit more.
Is there an entry addressing why a cover like "Golden Lights" is included, but not "Work is a Four Letter Word", "What's the World", or (and this is super-extra) a bonus "Rusholme Ruffians" with the "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame" medley thrown in?
Thanks!
Creator Mike Wong on December 30, 2010
Outstanding! There aren't enough words to describe how incredibly stoked I am that you saw this through. What a year it's been. :) I'll kick in a 10 spot now, and some more after the new year. High-Freakin'-Five, Janice!
Creator Gina Vadnais on December 23, 2010
I always wanted to be a music Producer!! : )
Please list Adam & Gina Vadnais in the liner notes, he's the reason we could back this!
I think your project is such a fantastic undertaking. I am proud to say I shared the stage with you when you "toured" with the project.
Someone else thanks you too: The 16-year-old Gina, sitting in my bedroom in Lincoln, Nebraska, in high school, wearing my Kill Uncle t-shirt and playing my Bona Drag TAPE over and over while reading the lyrics from the sleeve.
Creator Janice Whaley on December 23, 2010
Thank you, Craig!
Creator craig smith on December 23, 2010
A brilliant undertaking - I can't believe I hadn't heard of this before. Expect a donation from me soon.
Creator Janice Whaley on December 23, 2010
I have thought about that but I wouldn't know which ones to pick! And this box set is really about the completion of a goal, and the musical journey from start to finish. :)
Creator Shaun on December 23, 2010
Have you thought of doing a one or two CD best of?
