A quick note to tell you I just received my own copies of Positive (2010). Better still, I am told that the product is now officially at the warehouse and orders are shipping out.

So, if you’ve already ordered, your CD will be at your door in the next couple of days.

But, if you haven’t ordered yet, because you’re the kind of guy who thinks anything that isn’t in the warehouse is ‘vaporware’? Now’s definitely the time, Mr. Skeptical!

Check out Positive (2010) here.

I’ve been yammering on about the improved mixes on Positive (2010). But as they say, “the proof is in the pudding.” Now why they put the proof there, I’ll never understand. But one thing the web makes easy to do, and savvy shoppers expect, is the old ‘side by side comparison.’ And I’m marketing to a savvy bunch, right? So it seems a good marketing ploy to provide this functionality.

Below is a simple ‘before and after’ with the snippets from old Positive on the left, in the role of dumpy Fred Flintstone, and Positive (2010) on the right, preening like Charles Atlas on a sunny day at the beach. Or so we hope.

This Time

Before…

After…

So if you’ve been keeping score, we’re taking orders on Positive (2010) and the discs should be in the warehouse, or in your hands, within the next few days.

In the meantime, I want to mention three logistical details.

1. There are still about 100 copies of the original Positive. If you are a completist, or are one of those who takes pleasure in getting ‘a steal’, even if it means the odd button is missing or the paint is just a bit faded, well then, have we got a deal for you!

I’m wondering today when the Latin/Greek apologia

As I survey the rack and ruin of yesterday’s election, I am struck by many speeches trying to toe the line between both forms of ‘apology’. How to say ‘I accept responsibility’ while at the same time defending the path one has chosen.

Today’s ‘apology’, in the classic sense, has to do with the running order of Positive 2010. It differs from the original. Which is a sell-out; a total artistic cave, and here’s why I done it, Ma. It was for the good of the country. Or rather for the good of my particular piece of the country.

The re-mastered Positive will be available for order on November 15th, 2010. Just in time for holiday shopping. 😀

New Features!

New full-on versions of two songs! (Not telling which yet. 🙂 ) These will not be on the CD. They will be available as a download for all registered purchasers.
A teaser solo song arrangement of yet a third song!

The Terms

Current owners of Positive will be able to purchase the new version for a measly $5 which includes shipping! (throughout the lower 48, that is.)
Current owners of any JCHMusic title will be able to get Positive for $7… and again, that includes shipping.

Remember, remember, the…er… ides of…uhm… November? (Sorry; too much Netflix. I keep mixing up quotes from all these posh brit shows. Shakespeare, ‘V’… what-ehver.)
