RBR
Assault on iTunesNOW UP!!
In a vain attempt to introduce the Opposition back catalogue to the
modern world
we've put together three compilations aimed squarely at the digital download
market. Chosen by Mark (Ray Charles), Ralph (Hive) and all three
of us (Arc) they are a good introduction to the Opposition and its
history. They are available through iTunes, Napster and many other
reputable download services right now.
Click
on the cover to see the track listing. Mark is just finishing off
making the masters and I'm finishing off the artwork. Since all
the tracks are not new, and you may already have them, we will
be putting
the artwork up online so you can make your own copy of the compilation
should you so desire. We will not be pressing the cds but if you'd
prefer to buy a hard copy as it were, cdr versions
are available in the rbr store. You can just buy the tracks you
are missing through iTunes of course. We are hoping that having
this stuff available might introduce
the band to a whole
swathe of new listeners.
We welcome
a new act to the rightbackrecords stable with this cd. Leading
our assault on the world of hard core folk is this two-piece guitar/mandolin
combo. With innovative arrangements of folk standards plus some new
to the canon, this beautiful album is a lyrical introduction to some
talented musicians. Its here and available right now! Click here to
order it. To find out more about the band, visit www.na-mara.com
Doug
Hodge, a busy man!
Will be
at the National Theatre soon and continues to work on his new album.
We will have footage of his recent gg at trafalgar studios on his
site soon.
Speaking
of Mark...
Mark has
treated himself and bought himself a mac (for which I am truly
grateful!). Having finally joined the digerati, he has thrown himself
into it with vigour! He has discovered the joy of garageband as a writing
tool and written an album or two's worth of new songs, more of which
later. He has also decided to dabble in the wonderful world of
website production, results of which can be seen at marklong.rightbackrecords.com -
check it out, it might get more regular updates than this site, you
never know...
But
what of the DVD???
You know,
the one we've been promising for about a year or so... Well, the
time has been spent scrabbling around, mostly in Mark's loft, looking
for footage we can use to illustrate the band's history - called
"archive" in the biz, I believe. The hunt is going OK so we thought
we'd share a bit with you...
Plus
of course there's the Storyville clip many of you will know from
the free DVD...
We
also discovered stuff that could become a whole different DVD on
the So years...
All
the t-shirts and stuff are still available of course.
Take a look/buy here.
The previos range is still available here (ships
from USA)
