PLEDGE REWARDS TO SHIP THIS WEEK!!!

Update #19 · Jan 16, 2012 · 1 comment

Dear Patrons,

Thank you so much for your patience! All the records, posters, and cylinders arrived and we're spending the evening (and by "we're" we mean "Melissa") packing them up to ship out tomorrow!

As a special thank you, we've included two bonus items: a set of 4 THOMAS NEGOVAN buttons featuring work by Malleus and Greg Martin, and a limited edition deluxe CD compilation of Thomas Negovan's recordings, including those found on By Popular Demand, as well as the wax cylinder singles, his YouTube "Lullabies", and more surprises!

Thanks again, everyone,--j

So we have the records, are in the process of getting the jackets, and couldn't be happier with how things are looking now that we're past that rough patch with the record pressing!

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be speaking at one of the TED conferences in two weeks, and this recording project will feature heavily in my evening's talk.

If you're close to Chicago, I hope to see you there!  It's only a 300 seat theater, so get tickets in advance.  More news on the records soon, we expect to be shipping right after the TED conference!

Thanks so much everybody,

Tom

    There has to be a high-priced pledge, right? For this pledge, you will get a copy of the red vinyl record, a test pressing of the record, all the prints associated with the release... and an original wax cylinder with one of the two out-takes from the first recording session. Mistakes, restarts- who knows what will be on there? Only you and your Edison Cylinder Player will know for sure...
