As I update you guys on the flood damage in this episode, I’m also able to show you some new pieces that just came in this week, as well as announce some new boutique stuff that’s en-route.

The damage wasn’t as crazy as I had originally feared, but it did take a week of removing the backs of pedals, slowly drying them out, and then using contact cleaner and some further patience to sit here and test them all.

Thankfully there are so many new ones coming in which will help both my moral, and the Pedal Studio series on youtube over the coming weeks.

I’m preparing for a quick trip with the family and whilst in our storage getting luggage out today I discovered a huge box of CDs that I had totally forgotten about. They are mainly copies of my 2019 album “The Union” plus a few Space In Betweens, and since I’m in shipping mode with the signed copies of the books flying out of here, I’m thinking about doing a VERY limited drop of these CDs.

Better to be out there in the world than sitting in a box somewhere. I know there are some of you that like a physical product when it comes to audio, so drop me a comment and let me know if you’d be into it.

And yes!!! I’m goin to do vinyl at some point. The biggest issue is that it’s a massive commitment for margins that are incredibly low. It’s a total passion project, it takes a lot of investment re-mastering the albums to make them sound right for vinyl, and then it takes hella work logistically speaking to get them out to you. I am going to do it, I’m goin to start small, and it will happen in 2024.

In the meantime I’ve had a random slew of enquiries about other media formats like cassette tapes. 🤷‍♀️

They are way easier to put together, and that’s something I could do in the next month or so if the interest was there. It’s also getting a little easier and more financially realistic to press CDs, so limited runs of albums could be an option.

Let me know in the poll below. It only runs for 24hrs!

More soon,

Janek
