Sleep with you gets makeover in next pressing

R.I.P. Sleep with you. In for its third pressing, the CD will feature the same front and back cover, but the booklet will change dramatically to make it more “retail/radio friendly.” The song order will also change. If you are one of the lucky owners of the original first two pressings of the Sleep with you CD hang onto it. If you are not and want to own the original, online stores are sold out of it and are now stocking the new version, but many retail stores still have stock of the original.

Sleep with you tops 100 stations and counting!

It was announced today that the new CD Sleep with you (official release set for December 2nd to stores) has just crossed the 100 stations threshold on college radio. It is now in regular rotation on 115 college radio stations across the country and climbing! It is also gaining more and more airplay on many commercial rock stations as well, especially on what is known as “specialty shows” or “new music hours.” Top Cities so far include KQAL in Winona, Minnesota where the album is coming in at #9, and KRTQ in Tulsa, Oklahoma—sub-modern rock DJ Buddy Wiley says he LOVES IT and “cannot stop playing the hell out of that CD!” Thanks guys!!!!

SLEEP WITH YOU Available At Limited Locations

“Sleep With You” (TMG) is now starting to become available at limited locations around the US. It is starting to hit stores now and select eTailers.

Right now we know for sure it is available for purchase from this website, through Cdstreet.com, and at CDbaby.com. It should be available from Amazon.com some time next week. We love Amazon.com of course but the band makes a lot more money if you buy their CDs from the other eTailers listed above (cdbaby.com) Other sites like towerrecords.com, virginrecords.com, and barnesandnoble.com etc. are a few days away. If you prefer to purchase through your local record or book store, give it a few weeks to hit, or go in and pre-order it. The first single Minnie Driver will start hitting radio in a few weeks. More updates soon.

SLEEP WITH YOU to be released July 1st and Broken Spectacles compilation coming soon

The good news is that the brand new album by Ed Hale and the Transcendence entitled SLEEP WITH YOU is wrapping up and should be out by late March. As soon as final mixes are available we promise to post one or two tasty morsels for your listening enjoyment here. We are very eager to get your feedback as to which song should be the band’s first single for the new album. So stay tuned.

But for those long time fans and friends there is perhaps even bigger news and a little something to tide you over until then. TMG Records has been working on a compilation of Ed’s work with his first band, the miserably unsuccessful but popular rock group Broken Spectacles. The CD version is not out yet but all of the songs are now available for streaming or for download HERE until the collection hits the streets.

The collection of 55+ songs from this period took three years to compile and is now being prepared for a 3CD compilation called Spectacularly Broken: 1988—1994. There will be no singles released or promoted to radio and a very limited number of albums will be issued of this mammoth bit of self-indulgence.

Highlights include old favorites like Cawood, 21 and 17, Brother John, and Nature boy, as well as many never before released demo-versions of tracks like the devil loves rock and roll, Alison street, my old man, and afraid to get in. It is a very open and honest albeit quirky collection of material indeed, leaving no stone unturned, certainly not for the casual listener.

The compilation also includes several snippets of the Specs being interviewed on various radio shows through the years. And numerous segments of Ed rambling incoherently about matters purely irrelevant into his cassette recorder diaries of the time. An absolute feast for fans and assuredly a nightmare for everyone else. Check out some of the songs and enjoy. We’ll let you know as soon as the album is ready for release. Until then, keep on Transcending!

New Ed Hale and the Transcendence album wraps up

The new CD the band has been working on this year has finally started wrapping up the recording process and will begin mixing on Tuesday January 28th. The new album will be titled Sleep With You and features the songs Minnie Driver, Beautiful one, and I’m not the only one, which are already staples of the band’s live shows, as well as the title cut. Expected street date is mid-March, a far cry from the three years it took for the group’s last CD release Rise and Shine. Check the site soon for some downloads of the rough mixes as they come out.
