It's here.... almost
 

Well, dudes, the time has come. I know you've all been awaiting this moment. Oh, of course you have. Don't deny it. Look, just admit it. Go ahead... That's right. (Annoying, aren't I?)

Here it is! The long-awaited Tusk remake is to be released April 30. (That's tomorrow.) Read:

pitch-a-tent news

Camper Van Beethoven will be releasing on April 30th the long awaited double CD covering the classic Fleetwood Mac album "Tusk". The double CD will also include a special enhanced feature. For your viewing enjoyment a 1987 Camper Van Beethoven show.


Go to pitchatent.com to buy it.

Thanks for the reminder. I may just have to try that one out...

:confused: Um...I went to pitchatent.com and maybe I'm being stupid or something but I can't actually find a link to buy it...??!! LOL!:confused:

It's not in cdnow.com either.....

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks:)

:wavey::wavey: :wavey:

hmm, yes
 

Seteca:

It's not for sale yet, apparently. There must have been some kind of delay. I sent the Pitch-a-Tent manager an e-mail. I'll post an update as soon as I get a reply.

Peace.

I'll buy it out of curiosity and if its anything like the older Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker music, it should be pretty good.

"Pitch a tent"-nice name for a record label...

Date pushed back
 

The Tusk remake release was pushed back to May 8. I'll keep checking for more updates.

Re: Date pushed back
 

D'OH! Well hey, maybe they're trying to make the remake as close as Lindsey intended it to be......late.
LOL

actually
 

Word has it the Camper guys are burning pictures and live performances into the CD (2-disk set, I think) and that caused some technical delays. Anyway, we can rest assured this will be an off-beat take on the Fleetwood Mac masterpiece. Before you buy it be warned: It isn't going to be like the Rumours tribute, in which the artists took safe approaches to the songs.

Re: actually
 

I am eagerly awaiting this CD. This one will be a lot of fun. I hope it has plenty of that loony sense of play that "Patron Saints of Pop" had -- left of center. I heard, & loved, "Save Me a Place" & "Angel" from this project.

The "tribute" album that Mick put together for "Rumours" was nothing but a tribute to corporate thinking, a Milk 'n' Bilk operation (How can we milk the reputation of this great old album & bilk the fans?) that was so mechanically engineered & devoid of any real conviction, it was like an entire record company falling on your head.

Tusk...
 

:wavey: Hi Fans!
I just read it will be delayed!
Well...now it really is JUST like
our Lindsey! Refine! Refine!;)
Delay! Delay till' another day!
Sounds interesting!:cool:Bye, sky:)

It's going to be hard act to follow on this one,
but I'm open minded and I'll give it a listen.
Always nice to hear a different approach to a fimiliar
tune.
Lindsey would def approve:nod:

witchywoman:)

I just placed my order. Go to pitchatent.com to place yours.

Last time I tried to download Camper songs, they were copyright-protected and the AG system was catching them, so I don't know if that is going to work. Check out pitchatent.com occasionally. The Camper guys always have some random MP3s up there.

CarneVaca, are you inclined to put them on? Because I can help you out on the whole process if you'd like...
