Most of Nick's albums now downloadable from harperspace.com! (updated July '11)

[lemurjim]

Does anybody know where I can find a copy? I've searched high and low and can't find it anywhere, help would be much appreciated.

[Rainbow]

I had trouble getting another replacement copy of this one some months ago (my son acquired my first copy!) but I'm sure I ended up getting my new copy from Quixotic Records ... try this link below or google:

info@quixoticrecords.com

Good luck :wink:

Best regards ... Rainbow:)

Is that where you got yours from? And if it was, why does it say "Out of Stock" on there website?

[Barry]

Nick's website also says "out of stock" so maybe be worth dropping them an email to see when they are planning to get more pressed up.

[Rainbow]

I got my replacement copy from there last April ... guess they must have sold out since:blink:

Copy going on eBay

[Travellerman]

Why isn't it available on Nicks site? Nick hasn't done that much, I would have thought everything would be available... :confused1: Was it not a big seller? I really like it and wish Roy had done something similar.

[scotpaulabear]

Bit of a delayed response, but as these are pressings Nick has to organise, he may have to wait til he has a few to do at once. Just guessing though...

Oh but this is prompted by today's (7 September) news item on Harperspace :biggrin:
http://www.harperspace.com/nick-harper-news.html

It's true I've been yanking the buttons and faders in the studio and cranking up the old 'Instrumental' masters and having a bit of fun in the process. It's funny to hear a snapshot of who you were 10 years previous...at times highlighting the follies of youth and at others engendering nice little surprises. For instance after putting the levels up a little to try and match Titchy Striker (Jermaine Defoe??) or whatever his name is I could hear the points in 'Swansong' where I'm reaching for the plectrum on my knee between the picky bits - probably a very good reason I've never played that one live (since Glenn Tilbrook said I should stand up and be a man..well I did the first bit..). The most moving part of the remixing though was when I turned up 'The Whack 'n' Riddle Tree' and right at the end you can just hear my daughter Lily saying "Dada" just outside the studio door...I nearly cried.. She was 3 I think. That song is based on a game made up by the most fantastic teacher any child could wish to have - Lewis Richardson, whose idiosyncratic curriculum was based on trying to get us to think and whose view of the world still translates well nearly 40 years on...blimey. He went on to write a lovely little book called 'The Eye of the White Horse' which was a child's eye view of life in Wiltshire a few generations back, which I would swear was part of the inspiration for the poem on 'Treasure Island' called 'A Wiltshire Tale' even though I read his book after I wrote the verse.. Where was I? Oh yeah 'Whack 'n' Riddle': The bowler bowls and the batsman whacks the ball up in to the tree and tries to make it 'home' before it riddles through the branches and is caught..or not..by the hordes of eager catchers..immense laughter had by all if I remember rightly..

Keep going people! Love Harp xx

Ordered in anticipation of a revelation! Only £5 including shipping!

[scotpaulabear]

Well, there's no shipping as such - it's a download :confused1:

[Rainbow]

Yeah I've just ordered this and I'm guessing there is a download link heading my way in an e-mail ... can't see a link anywhere on the site. 'Instrumental' is possibly my favourite Nick album and I see from the details on the site that 'Riverside Revisited' is replaced by the original 'Riverside' but a couple of additional tracks on the download ... notably 'Caterpillar on a Cocoa leaf' which I vaguely remember seeing in tab format in one of the guitar mags some while back but I'm not familiar with the tune. Looking forward to hearing that one and 2010 versions of the originals. Normally I prefer a real CD rather than a download but at least my son can't nick this one!!

Best regards ... Rainbow:)

[Travellerman]

Caterpillar was downloadable from Harperspace for ages, not sure if it's still up.

[bigchris]

worth popping back to Nick's site as he has put up "a movie" or is it a moving picture (?) of himself ( & his twin ) in his studio ... he does warn you that it takes a while to load up ( it's still loading on my laptop at the mo ) ... but it's quite surreal to zoom around the movie even when it's not finished loading ... have a butchers and you'll see what I'm on about - http://www.harperspace.com/nick-harper-playing.html

Well, there's no shipping as such - it's a download :confused1:

I wanted the real thing!
To CD or not to CD!?

Having never ordered a download before I missed the 24 hour cut off time from the URL in the Email received from time of payment. Have emailed Sion @ sangraal and hopefully will receive a revised URL code next week.

I'm enjoying this downloaded version. It loaded up really easy on my iPod, including the artwork, in the same space as the original version which I'd already loaded from the original CD. Not many of Nick's CDs have artwork available on iTunes just yet so it's nice to have this one covered now. Because they are loaded up side by side it's easy to make comparisons with the two versions.
The new one is a louder mix and it alters the tone of the guitar in a very pleasant way ... though I like each version equally. Some nice subtle touches and additions and the original 'Riverside' from the 'Light at the end of the kennel' EP is about 30 secs shorter but has a couple of added touches like the repeat phrase at around 3.00 min mark ... just little touches but with the overall improved 'presence' and more evident background noise of the slides and scrapes of the strings as Nick moves around the guitar, makes for a more intimate and live listening experience.
If it comes out as a real CD version I'd happily buy that as well.

Glad you got your downloaded version andi ... how are you enjoying yours?

Best regards ... Rainbow:)

[Steve_Pitts]

Shame these tracks aren't being made available in a lossless format - FLAC, say or a good old-fashioned CD - then I might consider shelling out for them. Anyone know if there is any chance of such??

[aspwatterson]

Glad you got your downloaded version andi ... how are you enjoying yours?

Best regards ... Rainbow:)

The full spectrum! Thanks rainbow! Riverside should be more famous I think as it's amazing!

andi

[Rainbow]

You're welcome andi ... I agree 'Riverside' is an amazing tune, not least because it was on Nick's debut EP and is just brilliant playing.:iagree:

Rainbow:)

[scotpaulabear]

Though it doesn't look like there are any changes to the music itself, there is an updated cover, no surprise for anyone who's ever heard him moan about the previous green shirt pic :D

To be honest I don't know how I spotted them myself, I'm normally quite blind. For some reason they stuck out ???

[Watcher]

I've just downloaded Instrumental - is there any artwork that can be printed to make your own CD inserts? I don't think there was any with the download but I may be wrong - I'm pretty computer illiterate and this is my first music download.
