At long last... having taken about twice as long as I anticipated, I'm chuffed (and relieved!) to announce that my new CD, entitled Long Story Short, will be released in February (a download option may follow). It would have been earlier, but my team of stylists, promoters, pluggers, dieticians, groupies and general hangers on insisted that I allow enough time to "promote" it, whatever that means... The CD includes 13 original songs, with a supporting cast of excellent musicians on selected tracks, and a very nice professionally designed six panel sleeve with credits and notes on each of the songs. In associated news, I'll put a track or two on SoundCloud very shortly, will post here a video a friend shot for me about the making of the album, and will launch my new website in the next few days...busy busy busy! I had some gigs a couple of weeks ago, and in a fit of shameless self promotion sold a few advance copies. The CD will be available for pre-order on my website, for posting out on the eventual release date, but stand by for a special Acoustic Soundboard get-yourself-one-in-time-for-Christmas offer! More soon...

About bloody time Oh Richard do you take Woolworths record tokens or green shield stamps in payment. I assume its the usual album price of 32 shillings and sixpence

They say never judge a book by its cover.... well in the case of an album, I quite often find a great cover means there's good things to come. I really like your cover, the breezy sketch and the font (yes I am a bit of a font saddo).
Congrats Richard, I can only imagine the amount of effort and skill that goes into the making of an album, please sign me up for a CD.

Stand by for info on how to get hold of a copy of the CD prior to its official release (separate thread)... All these threads are getting very confusing :-)
