Thanks Rich, Rick, Steve, Brian and Tommy for the kind words and great feedback. As I told remastering engineer Vic Anesini, it took many years to finally get this release out, but without a doubt, it was well worth the wait and effort. I also told him that Percy, his wife, son and daughter are all gone now, but I'm sure they're all looking down and very proud of this contribution to his legacy and to the preservation of this Christmas music national treasure, the #1 album in my Top 500 of the greatest Christmas albums of all-time.

And Tommy, as far as an interview with Vic is concerned, it certainly is a meritorious idea, and I did mention it to him after I saw your post earlier tonight; but at the same time, I told him that knowing how much pressure there is on all the engineers' time at Battery Studios, folks would certainly understand if it's something that couldn't be worked out. However, I did give Vic the link to this thread so he can read all the kind remarks that are being said about him by all you board members.

So glad everyone is enjoying the CD!

Rich:

I am also jealous that you already have those releases in your hot little hands!

I pre-ordered all six from Real Gone Music back in September, and the tracking says to not expect them until Tuesday, November 7th. 

But I want 'em, now!

John:
Glad to hear you're enjoying the new CDs; nice to see you back on the board!



Steve:

Thanks so much for the additional positive reviews. Fred Waring's Decca Christmas albums have been underrated and underappreciated for years. The blame for this rests squarely on the shoulders of Universal Music for having never released them on CD; and if it wasn't for us, both these albums never would have. My guess is that now, because of our release, Universal will probably offer these albums as a digital download sometime down the line.

I'm just so glad that because of our efforts, the great classic Christmas music on these two albums will be exposed to a new generation of Christmas music fans all over the world, as well as being reacquainted with longtime existing fans who haven't heard them in years.

You're welcome, Rick. So glad to hear how much you enjoyed the CD. I'm also very happy to hear that it gave you a badly needed lift after a particularly bad year for you. Percy's music will do that for you: His music is very inspiring and cathartic. It's speaks boldly of peace, love and joy. Listening to it is a transformative experience.

If more people in the world listened to it, the world would be much a happier place.

Steve,

The last supply of Percy CDs is being shipped to Amazon; after that it will be sold out until a second pressing is completed. So anyone looking to buy it should get their order in now.

Also, thanks for the kind words for me and Vic; Vic echoed my sentiments by telling me that this was a labor of love.

And very glad to hear how much your daughter is enjoying the new CD. Percy would be so happy that his music is reaching a new generation of folks.

John,

Amazon should be getting the last supply of the new Percy Faith CDs soon. And barring any unanticipated problems with Sony, there will be a second pressing; however, I just can't say when they will be available for purchase.

Oh sure, John. The parent record companies, in this case Sony, keep track of all the sales numbers of their recordings. It reflects on the stature of their recordings and is also used for promotional purposes.
