Stepford Knives 45’s! A brand new release from me and my bud Otis Hughes on BLUE vinyl with an artwork sleeve by Issa Ibrahim, designed by Michael Slawter. Mastered for vinyl by Dan Millace! VINYL IS FINAL! Where to buy? From me! The easiest way is to use Paypal and my email-jamie@jamiehoover.net. $10 plus shipping, which is the US should be covered by $5. In other words…$15. If you want me to sign it myself I’ll be happy to-but I’ll have to remove the shrink wrap. I’ll be sending it personally…..(ah, the glamor of the music industry)
The A side “Blue In The Face” is written and sung by Otis. I can’t tell you how much talent this guy has-and I’m so glad we did this! Very alternative….dark, and cool. The B side, “I Don’t Want Her (Anymore)” was written by the late-great David Enloe-and Otis and I sing it as a duet. In a perfect world…this is a hit, in my opinion.
So I’ve thought about this a lot. In my career selling records is difficult and expensive to do, at best. I also don’t burn down the world with sales….so my pressings are limited to usually 300 units. The thing is-I’d rather release something of value packaging-wise, not to mention that vinyl SOUNDS better. You have to be involved to play vinyl….it’s more fun to handle. The difference in getting a download-card and getting a record on colored vinyl…is like comparing a “gift card” to a wrapped Holiday present! Much more fun….
