New album available to pre-order now: Bandcamp"Soon come - the magnificent solo album, 'Big People Music' from hugely respected UK Reggae artist, Ghetto Priest. Known to many as the frontman for Asian Dub Foundation, Ghetto recorded this album in honour of his father's memory covering the tunes he remembers hearing on the family radiogram as a small child. Ghetto also included tracks that inspired him as a youth. 'Big People Music' was mixed by the Bishop of Dub, Adrian Sherwood and I consider it to be the 21st century's answer to the seminal '1,000 Volts of Holt' by John Holt. Get on it.”  |

It says "Format: Digital, vinyl and CD". I wish they'd hurray and add the CD pre-order too if true.

I've just had an email from Jo to say that the CD should be up on Bandcamp in about 2 weeks. She's doing a limited run of 100 copies and another 100 CDs for the previous album, Every Man For Every Man, which was only available on vinyl previously.

Yeah I was disappointed Every Man wasn't on CD at the time, but I obtained a promo CD in the meantime so that was OK.

The previously mentioned 2 weeks may have stretched to 3 months, but the CDs are still happening. Jo tells me that she now hopes to have something available by September.

I gave up waiting for the promised CD and ordered the vinyl a week or so ago. I didn't pay much attention to all the blurb and assumed it was in stock, especially when it said "Estimated to ship October 26, 2021 and estimated to arrive no later than November 9, 2021". I should have known better.  I'm hoping the Nun Gun "Stealth Empire In Dub" vinyl release, which I ordered back in February, will arrive soon. I got this response a few weeks ago: Hi Charlie,
Not sure if you got my previous messages or announcements but global vinyl production has been backed up by months. The good news is the records were finally pressed this morning! I just got off the phone with the factory. They are shipping to me this week and then I should be fulfilling orders by next week! Apologies again for the delay, let me know if you have any other questions. We really appreciate your interest in this record.
Best,
Lee I never received any of those "previous messages or announcements", so I was curious to know how much longer the wait was going to be for that one. |

I'm hoping the Nun Gun "Stealth Empire In Dub" vinyl release, which I ordered back in February, will arrive soon. I got this response a few weeks ago: Mmmm totally forgot that. Just checked the site (Bandcamp). There it says it will ship within 3 days. But then again, I didn't check this for months so it might be a message that's there for 'ages'.... |

I emailed Jo W about the Ghetto Priest album, as it says on Bandcamp something like 'ships out in 2 days', and I wondered if I should've received it already, but she said the delays were due to "COVID, Brexit, raw materials and lorry drivers" I'd forgotten about the Nun Gun too and can't actually remember if I ordered one or not... |

My copy of "Stealth Empire In Dub" finally arrived this morning, shipped from the UK. I feel for the likes of Jo & Lee who are having to wait up to a year to get their vinyl pressed. Must make planning for future releases seriously frustrating, unless they abandon the format altogether. |
