Steve

Agreed!!!

I just posted to several BN forums on Facebook that TSM is now sold out.
A brilliant record that has rightfully disappeared from the shelves of SOS!

Still waiting... waiting... can't stand...

Last week I've got a very rare jazz album (Freddie Redd - "Redd's Blues") that took 5 months and a half from USA to Brazil. Normal postage.

SO SO Glad I received my copy at first my card was maxed out usual xmas stuff...but I had enough left for this wonderful CD...so complimentary to Albion Dream Vortex and certainly pays repeat playing...thank you Bill and SOS...Great Job...

Alas,
Busy the beginning of this year and never thought to look at the site until it popped into my aging memory just now. OK so now it's one hole in my collection. Bill, if perchance the prices on eBay get too ridiculous, would you consider a repress for us that missed out?
Thanks as always for the music.

I think that pretty much most to all on this forum are aware that you yourself Bill know what works best for you in economic and financial terms......people put in their suggestions for represses and re editions but ultimately you have to look after your own interests as a core part of your survival and ability to opportune future new releases - if Romance Of Sustain was repressed as 500 copies,word is that it would sell out in a flash.......but it might not,and a couple of hundred copies may stay on the shelf,perhaps taking a good few years to finally sell out - might not happen but it's a financial gamble that I think we all have to realise is not of benefit for yourself and your financial well being.......

.....although I'm not a great participator in downloading music I think the Bandcamp download opportunity/facility is fantastic,allowing fans to access and own music of yours with a 'supply and demand' aspect that fits you financially and us musically.....ok,maybe one doesen't aquire the physical article this way but the music is there to be listened to.....

......I'm aware that I come at this from 'Smug Corner' as an owner of many of the deleted/coveted titles but if I wanted something that became available as a download I would be happy that this was the 'next best thing' to owning it physically....also aware that it may well suit the music maker far better financially....

......just some( already covered.....I know!) thoughts before Sunday dinner is served

I know this topic has been debated endlessly,and Bill knows what works best for him,but surely a way to satisfy all those who wish to purchase Bills cds isnt insurmountable.Its obvious that a number of long term fans have been unable to obtain The Sparkle Machine,and also any new visitor to Dreamsville wishing to purchase it will quickly find at this moment in time its unavailable.A situation that cannot be healthy.I personally cant see why Westdeeps idea of £25 per year ( or another amount) to guarantee you the chance to purchase Bills albums is deemed unworkable.(See thread entitled 'Bill Nelson season ticket).It would simply require a list of all who paid ,and surely both Bill and his fans would benefit.There has ,as I say been endless debates on this subject but in these seemingly artist unfriendly times a way of generating extra revenue for the artist and keeping those who wish to purchase his work happy ,could be found.May I state this is no criticism of
anyone,and I am extremely happy with the service form SOS.
