On Tuesday 5th March, 2013 I got a phone call from the courier company. Was I going to be in the following day as they had a delivery for me. It was the records and I responded in the positive with a ‘Fuck, yes’. They didn’t specify a time (when do they ever) so I was up and about by 7am, just in case.
I lounged around not making too much noise for fear of missing the knock on the door. For a while I read a couple of books and every time I heard a sound in the road I dashed to the window saying out loud ‘this will be my records’. After the twentieth time my enthusiasm did not wane and like some dutiful panting dog, I continued to rush to the window every single time.
I was teased and tricked by a UPS van twice until, at 3.30pm, a big white truck pulled up and the nice man helped me load the boxes of CD’s into my house. It was here at last.
I hooked one out and checked it over. Everything had come out very well indeed. My pre-order envelopes were already addressed and the first thing I did was mail off the pre-orders to all the good people that had already bought the record. So it’s here and can be had from:

Thank you to those who have already bought the record, I hope you like it.
