First Things First

STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION ... BUT READ ON: (Update as of 5/17/07 ... Dear Listeners, Please forgive me for not getting anything up here yet.  I know that I promised artwork scans, reviews, lyrics, etc.  I'm traveling a bit over the next few weeks and I'm just one guy.  I hope to, at least, have the lyrics up by mid-June or so ... then it'll be a scan-a-thon as I dig through my archives.  Again, I ask for your kind patience and I thank you for visiting this page and for buying the disc!  Also, a note to those who have visited here recently and will note the slight price increase.  You are probably well aware of the still-somewhat-confusing postal rate increases which took effect recently.  If it were just a few cents, it'd be no big deal. But it's costing me at least another fifty cents to send things out ... after awhile that adds up to real money!  So please understand that I have to adjust.) "BUT WAIT," you say, "FIRST THINGS FIRST IS AVAILABLE ON CD?" Why YES, it is. There's just no getting anything past you! So here's the scoop: This is a Limited Edition re-release on compact disc. FTF did come on CD in the early '90's. But it went away as quickly as it appeared. Finally, this year arrangements were made for a small run. This edition was completely overseen and manufactured under my supervision. For those of us who need our reading glasses to find our reading glasses, we also reconfigured the CD artwork. This is available only at concerts and here. That's it. This CD not on listed on the main Music page because those sales are handled through my friends at Signpost Music. THIS disc is only available through me. Thus, it has to be a separate purchase and I can only accept two forms of payment. Whichever you choose, the cost is the same for all U.S. and Canadian addresses: $15.00 USD for the CD + $3.00 USD for P&H = a total of $18.00 USD per each disc. Outside the U.S. would be slightly higher (but you knew that, eh?) 1) Personal check or money order payable to "Bob Bennett" for $18.00 USD. Mailed to: Bob Bennett / PO Box 11866, Costa Mesa, CA 92627-0866 2) If you're an experienced eBay user, you know about PayPal. It's easy, convenient and just about foolproof. Not difficult to sign up for at all. When you go to make a payment, you'll need an e-mail address to send the funds to. That would be ... bob@bob-bennett.com. A couple other hints: Remember to include your mailing address. IF you want the CD autographed, PLEASE TELL ME. If you'd like it personalized in some way, please specify that. If there are no instructions for "personalization" (example: "For John & Mary"), then I'll simply sign it and send it.  If you DON'T want anything at all, you must specify "SEND WITHOUT AUTOGRAPH". The CD contains the original ten tracks on the 1979 album, the original bonus track on the early '90's CD ("Spiritual Equation": the screaming electric-guitars-added version) PLUS the original, acoustic version of "Spiritual Equation" from actual vinyl. And newly recorded song-by-song commentaries. As convenient as iTunes is, the music on this CD is not just a 128 Kbps AAC file. It's the actual, we-spent-real-money-to-make-it-sound-good tracks. If you still have a stereo the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, these uncompressed tracks should still sound pretty good! Whichever payment method you choose, your CD will be hand-delivered to your address by a uniformed official of the United States Postal Service (an actual government agency) I know what you're thinking: "Bob, do you really care that much? You bet I do! Carpenter Gone Bad?
