Today was an epic day in the continuing story of Windrush - the first batch of CD's arrived in all their shrink-wrapped glory. The folks at Discmakers did a phenomenal job on the artwork, the mastering and the packaging. The cover art by Will McCarthy is beautiful and the other surprises inside the gatefold cover came out even better than we had hoped.
We are still in the process of setting up the online accounts so fans can purchase the CD or individual tracks. As of today our account at Soundclick us up and running for MP3 digital download sales, either as individual tracks or the entire 16-song CD. Also, at Soundclick you can listen to previews of all 16 tracks. In about 10 days the account at CDBaby will be active, where you will be able to purchase either the physical gatefold CD or MP3 digital downloads. Also, Digstation will be selling MP3 downloads in a few days.
For those of you who purchase the physical CD, the titles and band info will be registered with Soundscan and AllMusic, which means that when you drop the CD in the tray on your PC, the song titles will automatically be displayed. You can also find us on Facebook.
The next step will be to finalize the date and place for the CD release party, which we hope to have scheduled in a month or so. We hope to see all of you there, so please check back for details.
And a huge thanks and congratulations to Becky Rutherford for being the very first person to purchase and download the Windrush CD (from Soundclick). We are now well on our way to realizing our vision of selling well under a million CD's.
