Just add water?

Gots to be some golden flour there, then.

Welcome to the board!

Thanks!!!

It's nice to be here, since it seems that this is finally a jazz-site that covers the whole spectrum.

About that Taylor record, I'm just wondering what have the expenses been on a record that get's the price tag of 110$? I've released LP's with my mates, and the highest fee for manufacturing is 8€ (about 12$) per copy. Double that, and you're selling for 16€, triple it, and it's still only 23€ (34$).

This bothers me mainly because I would've really liked to buy that Taylor/Oxley-album, both artists being in my list of favorites.

Well, it's being viewed as a limited-edition art multiple that, while it contains music as part of the experience, is also a "work of art." Some of Oxley's artwork is represented on the cover, which I believe is going to be hand-assembled.

Other than that, I don't think working with Cecil or Oxley comes cheap these days...

Saw Ben tonight. It's done now, the pressing is correct and physically available. I'm told that the paid-for copies will be mailed out in the next week or two (they're at Ben's house).

I got it last week. Finally! But worth the wait. Does anyone know if it is all one composition? There are separate bands on the records, and they seem to be discrete pieces.

Ailanthus is one piece in three movements; Altissima is one piece in four.
