THANKS.

OK, I'll try that...THANK YOU Dave.
I had it professionally mastered by a chap in the UK.
He's very good and reasonably cheap...25 British Pounds for a 24 bit master.
I've learnt that if I spend the roughly AUS$50 I'll leave the song alone and won't try to revisit/remix/fiddlefaddle.

ray,

Great to hear this again. The guitars have good definition now. Vocals sit in a good place. A real head-banger.

Only problem is that you should be jumping around - a whole bunch - while playing that guitar in that video.

Very inspiring song and video. I totally dig it. I agree with FJ--could do with some jumping around while playing guitar in the video--ha! Great job!

Ray,
Good sound on a great pounding song- no mud - and I liked the Brit. 60`s city images... random young lads or band members?

Thanks Tex,
Glad you liked the noise. As mentioned I take my sedentary M.O. into music making.

Thanks Robert,
The images are of myself and Bob Harris interposed with the real people the narrative is about: Debbie, Natalie, Ian & Ian's band. The background video is of Manchester in the SEVENTIES if you can believe it! The UK can still largely grey after WWII and the huge, soul destroying, impact of repaying Lend Lease, (which the US needed to fund the Marshall Plan). A little colour returned to cheeks and the landscape just in time for Margaret Thatcher to strip mine the colour for her, and other Tory's, cheeks.

It sounds great. We listened on the "big system" with a sub.

Yeah, it filled up the room. Tremendous soundstage just the
right amount of compression, i.e., it gets your attention but leaves
some space.

And as always the perfect complementary video.

All good.

Thanks Scott, you're very kind.
here's a massive long shot....do you play in any of the Jam pub in Edmonton? I good friend of mine, Gerry/Gerald Steele stopped writing and recording a couple of years ago and enjoys the jam life. I miss his writing.
