Hugh Hopper 8 Series!!

[Phlakaton]

HUGH HOPPER (8 CD series of archival recordings, all/nearly all never-before heard, as curated by Michael King. He's enlisted Hugh's personal archive, as well as the archives of friends of Hugh's. Mike says, "I've been tasked with compiling a series of CD releases celebrating the life and legacy of the late Hugh Hopper and the process has been an education in his kaleidoscopic musical world. This series, comprising nine CDs, will be released this year by Gonzomultimedia and we can thank Headmaster Rob Ayling for his unflagging support above and beyond the call of commercial duty. From Hugh's private archive, and additional contributions from his friends (most especially Aymeric) I have selected a wide range of high quality concert and studio recordings, none of which have ever been released nor heard publicly. You're in for a treat.")

Has this been announced yet?

[Steve F.]

I think it's up to 10 CDs now.

[JKL2000]

Are the releases listed anywhere?

Are the releases listed anywhere?

Are you asking if you can buy them yet? The answer is that they aren't released yet.

If you are asking what the releases are, I don't think it's been officially announced what's included on each CD.

I think it's up to 10 CDs now.

But it says "8-Series" right in the thread topic.

Must be octal.

If you are asking what the releases are, I don't think it's been officially announced what's included on each CD.

I guess what I meant is "Is there a list of the CDs somewhere?" I was also trying to find out if they're all individual releases or will they be released as a set?

But I can just relax and wait for the next announcement.

Jed, they may package them as a set as well, but they will definitely be available separately.

With Hugh's prolific collaboration-by-mail program....

And the incredible variety of people he was collaborating with....

These should be released as pre-shuffled. You buy an hour, you get maybe ten 6-minute tracks by Hugh & ten collaborators. Buy two hours and get twenty collaborators. Etc.

Or maybe let the buyers compile their own CDs.

Or release Hugh's contributions and his collaborators' contributions on separate formats, so they can be mixed and matched.
