Yes, I concur about the double-7-inch. Beautiful job! Fast delivery! Cheap! Only one problem: The paper sleeves of the discs don't slip back into their slips very easily :) 20:11 on Tuesday July 27 2010 - San Francisco Bay Area

@ Shaun & 7" of 'sno: Indeed that's a very nice double single, i just pulled from the mailbox. I like that old fashion style of the labels. Smooth paypal transaction too. Just ordered another one, 'cusse it's a great gift for a vinyl lover. Thx for that lovely idea! 07:58 on Tuesday July 27 2010

thanks for the positive feedback Fuzzy. anyone liking the cut of our vinyl jib, i strongly recommend they check out the Naim Amor 'Precious Second' dbl 7" we put out last year. further Tucson adventures available via our Vacilando '68 imprint, courtesy of Marianne Dissard and Susie Hug. cheers, Shaun. 11:54 on Sunday July 25 2010 - sofa

Got the Sno Angel dbl 7" package yesterday. Looks great (with well-cut packaging and print-job) and sounds good too. Nice to finally have a Howe solo release across some grooved plastic... well done Shaun and co. More soon please! ;-) 06:08 on Sunday July 25 2010

here is a question for you sandheads. What is your favourite album between Is all the over the map and Provisions. I prefer Is all over at the moment. it has a wild giant sand flavour to it 15:45 on Saturday July 24 2010 - poole

richard

thanks for that review of the barbican set. the giant sand set sounds very similar to the winchester one. i must admit i was dissapointed that they played hardly any old material. thin line man must have been great though. i agree with the new member, he is a wecolme and good addtion. 09:00 on Friday July 23 2010

Short review of the Barbican celebration yesterday: the evening started with Kristin Hersh solo, followed by a Giant Sand set, during which pictures from the last 25 years of Howeadventures were projected on both sides of the stage. The GS-set itself was anything but retrospective: started with Stranded Pearl and ended with Increment, in between only new or (yet) unreleased songs plus Vic's Expiration Day. After the break came a book reading by the brave Kristin Hersh, touching, sad, funny. Accompanied by GS, ended with three Kristin Songs backed by Howe&the boys. Then came an all-too short set by Howe and the gypsies, seated in a half-circle. The evening ended with a version of Wayfaring Stranger by everybody, Howe & Kristin sharing the vocals. A short two-song encore then, which for me was the absolute highlight of the show: a wild rocking version of Thin Line Man (one of my all time favorites) and a sweet and tender "The Last Time" (new Howe song, not the Stones number). Great surprise for me was to watch new member Nicolai Heyman who played great stuff on guitar and organ and who was really into the music. Hope he stays with the band. 08:55 on Friday July 23 2010 - still in England

Another great Barbican evening from Howe and his assorted cohorts, and how good was Kristen Hersh. 02:40 on Friday July 23 2010 - Epping Forest

Superb overview of the career: http://thequietus.com/articles/04676-strange-frightening-world-of-giant-sand-howe-gelb. I would have added "Arizona Amp & Amplifier," myself. 16:16 on Thursday July 22 2010 - San Francisco Bay Area

the signs are good that the 7s will be arriving in time for the Barbican show (just), am expecting to take receipt of them on the day. will be deposting supplies with the merch stall, and provided Howe has the means to there will plenty for him to take back to sell at future gigs. stateside orders are more than welcome though @ www.theorchestrapit.com/shop, but please be aware that it is only the tracks on the bonus disc which are not taken from the existing Live CD/DVD package. Fuzzy, i will start processing orders just as soon as i am receipt of copies, so there's a good chance it will be with you for the weekend. by the way, i have one spare ticket for the Barbican show...anyone wanna pay face value (£20) and i shall throw in a dbl 7" - contact me here if interested: vacilando68@hotmail.com. 17:13 on Tuesday July 20 2010 - E7

We shall see how Spain fare when they face the mighty Scotland in a couple of months time (we have a track record of beating World Cup winners, just ask England). Looking forward to the Barbican show very much, and sounds like we are in for some new songs, always a good thing. 16:11 on Tuesday July 20 2010 - N

fuzzy

Thanks for the extra detail Shaun... when do you hope to ship 'em out? 13:24 on Tuesday July 20 2010

Hey Archivist...

Any word on weather the Sno Angle 7" will be available via OWOM or other stateside means? These are different versions than on the Sno Angel Lp right? cool! 12:49 on Tuesday July 20 2010

Javi (In Seventh Heaven)

Hey Peter! Haven´t come down from World Cup Celebrations yet, still on Cloud 9.... Thanks in advance for the 7'', truly appreciated. Very excited about the re-releases and very envious of those of you that can attend the Barbican show...hopefully back in form for concerts after the summer! 11:36 on Tuesday July 20 2010 - Cloud 9 (7th Heaven)

richard

went to winchester last night. weird venue in strange out o town place but a good venue none the less. intimate. giant sand played a lot of new stuff and a lot of the provisions material, which i thought was slightly suprising due to the 25 year slogan the tour has 05:52 on Tuesday July 20 2010 - strung out

Archivist...

The new tracks on the 7" were pulled from the archives.. I mastered it up here in Tucson. A nice addition to everyone's vinyl HG/GS collection.. 16:41 on Monday July 19 2010 - Tucson, AZ

Shaun H,

Hi Fuzzy, thank you kindly for your order - my blurb, my pleasure: 7 inches of sno' - Howe Gelb 'Sno Angel - double 7" Single.....Two stand out tracks from the CD/DVD package ‘Sno Angel - Winging It’ - “Nail In The Sky” + “Worried Spirits”; coupled with re-renderings of a pair of Giant Sand numbers in “Neon Filler” + “Chore Of Enchantment”. All tracks feature Howe and his Canadian based ‘Sno Angel touring band backed by the Voices Of Praise choir. Lead track “Nail In The Sky” is pure Howe, playful lyrics, a subtle sigh in the voice and those chords picked out just so, providing that fine patina that coats the best of Howe’s sonic wardrobe, and with a chorus to rival Neil Young at his most populist. The remaining tracks finds Gelb and band taking a more bluesy rocking direction on a cover of Rainer’s “Worried Spirits”, whilst Howe’s Americana-beatnik persona is more to the fore on “Neon Filler”, and the Voices Of Praise provide a fitting crescendo on the closing “Chore Of Enchantment”. 15:28 on Monday July 19 2010 - Label HQ (aka home)

Hi Shaun, just orded the Sno 7". Can you tell us the tracklist whilst we wait for arrivals? 13:27 on Monday July 19 2010 - UK

Peter

I am just wondering if Javi has come down from Spains world cup celebrations? As Javi was kind enough to send myself and Ian G copies of Alegrias, I will try to get the 7" Snow Angel live and send it on. 06:40 on Monday July 19 2010 - Glasgow

Archivist

The release of Valley Of Rain is in a corrected order per Mr. Gelb. Also, the majority of the release is taken from the cassette with the original mixes. Any bonus material will come later separately or as online promotional material (free)... 16:48 on Sunday July 18 2010

IanG

Hope you get them in time to sell me one on Thursday night.... 15:50 on Sunday July 18 2010 - N

...well, whilst there doesn't appear to be a whole heap of release activity upcoming! hope to be able to pass over copies of the 'sno angel live double 7" we are very proud to be putting out to the merch stall @ The Barbican on Thursday night, but is very much touch and go whether they will turn up in my eager palms in time...if sadly they don't, or for those not going to the show, you can place your orders via http://www.theorchestrapit.com/shop [P.N. don't believe our pay pal a/c allows for any kind of variation on the p&p, but wherever you are in the World, just round it up to the next pound, peso, euro or rupee, and we will ensure it gets out to you]. thanks, Shaun, The Orchestra Pit / Vacilando '68. 15:31 on Sunday July 18 2010 - body in east London, head n' heart mid France
