Message From Mouse Boss
There’s no two ways about it. We may be impossibly good, but launching ManOrMouse? upon an unsuspecting world is going to be tough. Without cash it’ll be nigh on impossible. To that end, we’re putting out a special edition CD of our album, The Learning Curve, before we release it on iTunes and other internet download sites. The idea is to raise enough dosh from friends, family and the band’s fans to do things properly. All money from the sale of the special edition CDs will go towards the MoM? warchest for PR, radio-plugging, gigs, viral ads, website design etc.
The special edition album covers are things of rare and simple beauty and have ‘collector’s item’ stamped all over them. Well, not literally. That would be nuts. However, they are made of greener-than-thou recycled card and individually hand-numbered, thus ensuring that each copy is unique. The album’s wonderful artwork is by BiroRobot (see G in the A-Z page). It was lovingly hand-printed onto each cover by sisters Ellie and Lisa Gomez using a Japanese Gocco printer. They were then glued by Billy, using the hot-glue gun wot he got for Christmas.
We’ve got 400 Special Edition CDs to sell. They cost a tenner each (plus p&p) and, we believe, they’re worth every penny. So if you want to feel the warm glow of artistic patronage for a third of the price of a ticket to Swindon, here’s your chance. Head over to our Store and click on the BUY CD link at the bottom of the page. You can preview a few songs and peruse some lyrical samples en-route to ensure you’re not backing a lame horse. However, you should know this: purchasing a Special Edition album (or three) WILL make a difference to our chances. Four grand doesn’t sound much in traditional marketing terms, but in the age of the internet, it’ll give us a heck of a head start.
You are all beautiful people.
Thankyou.
