Full Details - Girls! Girls! Girls! and Pot Luck CDs

Here are the full details for the FTD releases Girls! Girls! Girls! (single disc) and Pot Luck (2CD) which are due to be released by FTD in early November 2007. Also there is some background information on the way the FTD label operates.

About the new releases:

Girls! Girls! Girls! is a single disc release. As many fans already know, the majority of the tapes from the sessions have disappeared, and at this stage we do not believe they are ever going to turn up. We have collected everything we have on this disc.

Pot Luck has an abundance of material available, and we have filled two CDs to the brim.

In both cases Vic Anesini and Sebastian Jeansson have mastered the albums. They sound better than EVER.

A note from Ernst: I have on a number of occasions given in to requests from editors with approaching deadlines, and given them release information ahead of time. Unfortunately that backfires, as many of you are very upset if others have the information first. So in the future - don't call about this. Everybody will be notified the same day.

Important information about distribution and release dates:

When we release new product we are bombarded with E-mails and phone calls from many of you. We do understand that, as one of our customers humorously put it, 'The natives are getting restless'. However we are one of the smallest customers with both the factory and the distribution, and whereas both companies do their best to keep the deadlines, we will always have to wait if some bigger release gets in the way. This could cost us up to a week with both situations.

Running a company with such low sales figures, we have to be cost efficient, so the service we get from the distribution is geared towards that. We do not automatically get tracking numbers, specific shipping dates for each customer. The transport companies have a 3-5 day delivery guarantee. This means we cannot tell you the exact date you get your order. We try to send to far away countries first, but we can only control it in the first stage. To upgrade these services would be quite costly.

As you have noticed the two new releases are described as 'Shipping date early November'. This is a consequence of several situations:

1) We are both under enormous work pressure from our 'daytime jobs'. FTD is something we do on weeknights and weekends, and in this case it means that we have not had the time to get anything ready for October 1st.

2) The vague term early November is a consequence of all of the above. It's an illusion to guarantee specific dates with so many uncontrollable elements involved. You need to tell your customers this - if for no other reason, at least to keep your incoming phone calls and E-mails under control.

At this time no decisions have been made in relation to the next releases. We hope to have something ready for January - if not definitely for February. We will be able to tell you by mid-late October.
