1997 Club
Nearly there!
Spoke to Andy Mac at Skint again today. It's on the HMV system (Kent Seagull has found it already: can someone explain to this Luddite how to post a direct link without a huge URL?) which means it can be ordered online or in person at any HMV shop, so if you want to pre-order a pre-order, go to HMV.co.uk , type 'Seagulls Ska' into the search engine and you're there!
Skint are just sorting out Amazon and the last 2 of the ten local outlets, this will be done in the next day or so, then it's all systems go...
At that point I will post details of the 10 outlets and the online order links, plus the press release, and everyone can get going! Publicity copies will go to local and national radio, we can all start mass emailing our favourite/least favourite programmes, I'll invite my old mate/former roadie Steve Lamacq out for a beer (god, I wish Peelie was still here, he made the Piranhas' hit, I think he'd have gone for this big time..) we'll hit 5 Live...
Anyone with good contacts in radio/press, please PM me, we can get you a promo copy anywhere you think it will go down well. Basically everyone can do anything they think will help, as we have all been doing for the last 8 years...
obviously it's really important that as many fans of other clubs as possible help us with this, so contacting other clubs' websites is going to be vital.
But as far as the big push is concerned, please hang fire till everything is in place.
It'll only be a couple of days. Everything is on schedule, and the launch needs to be co-ordinated for when the outlets and links are all ready.
Sleeve is done, looks great, Large One will have posters in the Withdean toilets on Sat, piece going in the programme, obviously Tom Hark on the PA! And I promise I won't play the new SBTS - those of us who like speed ska will soon
be able to skank to our hearts' content at home or in the pub! Though I might play a short burst AFTER the game WHEN we've beaten Rotherham...
