today, 1000 Splendour Hyaline CDs arrived at my suite. i didn’t realize it would be such an exciting thing for these things to arrive, but as it turns out, i’m still grinning happily after ripping through the shrink wrap on the first CD to be opened.
the CDs more than met my expectations: chris’ fabulous design work came out in perfect detail, and there’s not a single thing wrong with the printing or the packaging. in fact i’m blown away by how clean it is.
the sound quality lost nothing in production, and as i sit here listening to the CD with a pair of decent headphones, i’m mildly shocked that we were able to put out something that sounds this good (in terms of quality–well, what the heck: in terms of whatever you want, i think it’s good)
thanks again to all of you who provided help with and inspiration for this project–you all rock!
now, to business: i’m sure a lot of you are wondering how to get your hands on one of these babies (and if you’re not, you should be), and i’d be glad to transfer ownership of a small number in exchange for a small fee (i’ve got to pay back my investors). if you live in stanford, the best way to do this is to talk to me. if you live in orlando or gainesville, i’ll be shipping a large quantity to each location, to be sold by my sister and my brother, respectively. if you live anywhere else, i’ll be setting up an online store, which will be accessible when splendourhyaline.com is launched. you can use this, but be warned that i’ll be charging more for the CD and for shipping online.
and don’t forget, for those of you in the area: there will be a CD release party show at the CoHo on thursday, march 13th!
