The following projects would gobble my preorder money:
- Jubal's Last Band Recordings: Yes. This would be fun for a limited run item. I would pay extra for Terry's liner notes on this project.
- Previously mentioned "Horrendous Disc Sessions" collection: I have sent several emails to Larry Norman without a reply. Yes. Yes Scale of 1-10: 10
- The Making of Mr Buechner's Dream DVD
- The DA history compilation DVD (1970s-present day) Yes. Yes Scale of 1-10: 10
- Another book set of some kind... Make this an ultimate box set . Pictures and stories like the Beatles book. KISSTORY.
- Mothman soundtrack: Since this may never make it to the theaters, I know of a good cult following that would purchase the dvd.
What is the plan for Mothman?
NEW ITEM: TERRY's Children album's: They are really funny.
I have been very willing to participate in the preorders. I still don't have the second disk from the 77s club nor the first disk from the Mike Roe club.
THe Christmas cd from the 77s was excellent. Way way way great. I saw Mike Roe and he commented that the fan feedback wasn't what he thought it would be on that project. Best Christmas cd since Bing.

Yeah, we're still digging ourselves out of the fan club mess...
We've had a bunch of fan club stuff going out before Christmas,
and the rest will go out after Christmas... you should be getting
GP & Roesbud soon.
The fan feedback has been very weird on the fan club releases.
For example, when Guilty Pleasures first started shipping... the
first feedback we got was a guy posting on the Sevens board
listing off everything that he hated about it. We've had a few
positive comments here and there, but mostly its been dead
silence coming back from the fan club stuff.
Thats an odd response to get.

Hey J & E
How tough would it be to make up a limited edition book set(Alarma Chronicles) of say 100 and sell them for $75, and then make up an extra #2 & #3 disc because I WAS THE STUPID SAP THAT BOUGHT THE BOOK WITH ONLY ONE DISC AT CORNERSTONE!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas

I'm curious, would it be possible to reissue some stuff from the BAI years with a few extras thrown in?
From listening to everyone on the board it sounds like there's some demand for Kalhoun, Motorcycle, etc., and I don't think they've ever been reissued. They're not OLD old, but NEWER old, so that's really a plus, isn't it? (I know BAI went toe up, I wonder who actually owns those recordings now.)
FYI I completed my collection this year - I have every single DA/SE/TST recording now (courtesy of the DA webstore and eBay), but I'm still missing one CD (live bootleg) and some of the CDs I do have are wearing out. If older recordings are reissued, I'll buy in a second if it's remastered and/or freebies are thrown in, or if my old CD is not in the best condition.

The BAI stuff is owned by Ojo Taylor I think, last I heard.
It probably wouldn't be a problem reissuing that stuff, as long
as the demand wa high enough to make it worth the cost.
As for a reissue of teh Alarma Bookset, we thought about that..
we would have to look into it. We actually thought about making a
softcover version for the second printing, but that was just an idea
thrown out. We can talk to Terry about how he would like to see
it done, if we were to do it.

How about alternative methods of reissue, to avoid all the production costs? For example, pay to download song services like iTunes? Although I'd rather get them with case and artwork, I'd gladly buy DFBB, Let's Spin, and Outdoor Elvis that way. Is hooking up with iTunes feasible (economically, practically, etc)? Or this just the dream of someone who wants to get these 3 albums without paying high prices on ebay?

Two things, one IF you can get the rights to do a reissue you want
to do it nice.....and secondly the owner of the rights may stipulate
on how you can release the album if they do give you permission.
If we don't have permission, then we cannot put it up for download.
And most likely, the owners wouldn't want that anyway... as they hold
ownership in hopes of at least one day making money off the recording.
One example lets say an owner of a recording wants $6000 for
you to license a recording, you would want to recover that cost.
You would have to offer something nice to get enough people to pay
enough to get your money back, and make the band money off it as well.
And if you print it nice that adds even more to the cost with manufacturing.
But the owner wanting to protect what he owns may say that you can
only release it under certain circumstances; Nice professional printing,
no mp3s, no cdrs, etc. Its all up to them.
When we did the DA Tribute CD, we did it under the restriction we couldn't
sell it in stores, like Christian bookstore chains. Thats what the publishing
holder stipulated.

it would be nice on the releases, since you're looking for a way to help them sell, is to release them in dvd audio (5.1). i have no idea on cost or what it takes to convert the previous music into that format, but they are showing up at music stores more and more. if it is something cheap to convert to, it might help sell.
btw, i'd like the items you mentioned above as well as the original prickley heat telethon, shirley goodness and misery, and no sense of history.
the 77's/mike roe club releases were awesome, sorry to hear that you haven't been getting feedback on those.

That has been an option in the past, JT has done that.
We've never really been involved in that, we would have
to discuss it with Terry and see how to handle that if someone
were to want to invest. Personally, I would be apprehensive
about dealing with someone elses money. That would have
to be given a lot of thought.
If someone contacted us, most likely, we would direct them to
contacting Terry himself concerning that.

Yeah we looked for extra discs, but I think the few extra discs we have
are the one he has. We actually have a couple books with no discs
I think, although they maybe misprints. We tried to pull out all the
misprints.
We had a few of each disc extra for a while, but ended up having to
use them to send to people that either ruined theirs by cutting
out one disc and scratching it...or some that were missing a disc .
When M8 gave us the books and discs to put together at Cornerstone,
we didn't get an equal amount of each anyway.
.....
I think M8 had some deal going for a while concerning the Bookset,
don't remember if it was a sale or buy it get something free or something.
But people actually ordered from them, and then complained to us and tried
to make us honor M8s deal. At the time the people wrote us, we didn't
even know what they were talking about. We ended up looking at their site
and seeing the deal...and trying to explain to the people that ordered from
M8 that we are not them.

There is some good things out there. Trying to figure out the best way
to release them is the hard part. Another reason we are fishing for ideas.
Terry keeps mentioning wanting to do a box set at some point,
so we don't want to put anything out he wants to use for that.

>>"Terry keeps mentioning wanting to do a box set at some point,

After some thought, it seems to me that this has to be ironed out first. The decision for this box set seriously impacts the HD Sessions and Jubal releases, at minimum. If the very best stuff from HD Sessions is put in the box (and not included on Sessions), then, what happens if the box never comes out (a possibility since this idea has been toyed with for, like, 6 or 7 years?)? Dare I say it? -- maybe the box set has to come first.
How much of the vision for the box set has been fleshed out? Other artists have put out collections that varied widely -- Dylan has two different boxes which differ from the way that Springsteen did his, which differs from the way Pet Sounds Sessions was done, which differs from the way the Beatles avoided the whole box altogether by releasing 3 2-CD sets. Have you folks considered doing a "box" in the form of a book-set since it has a smaller form and perhaps a lower price than a full-blown box that always tends to be oddly shaped anyway (it seems that some releases that used to come in boxes now are in a CD package that fits in the display better -- I assume this form is cheaper than the box configuration)?
I'm not sure how much Terry has mapped out these historical releases, but the box set could also be a way for fans to get a sense of what some future historical releases might hold. So, for instance, a couple of the Jubal-era tracks might be in the box and so when the full CD of Jubal tracks is released, the listeners can determine just how much they liked the taste they got from the box set. It could be that the box set reveals alot of interest that had not been anticipated.
I know that a major gating item for such a project is financing, but just how ambitious is this plan -- how many CDs, how big the book? A 3-CD book set has already been done -- is this project bigger than that?
I know that this is getting off the subject (because it's not on the 2004 map) but the thought did cross my mind.

How about a compilation CD of tracks that Terry wrote (or co-wrote) for other groups. I'm thinking specifically of some songs for D.O.X. and Wild Blue Yonder but I am sure there are plenty of others - enough to fill a CD. Might be complicated getting permissions, etc., but I think it would be cool since it is impossible to get most of those songs anymore.
P.D.

Won't the Jubal tapes deteriorate further the longer you wait to convert them to digital?

Glad to hear it. I've been worrying about that ever since you mentioned a long time ago that you had the tapes.
