“Bare Tones” Shipping Updates

GREAT GREAT news!

After all the hubbub and seemingly irreperable disasters surrounding the creation of our BARE TONES DVDs and BLURAYS, the manufacturers (who blundered epicly at the outset) went the extra mile to fix everything for us… 

Thus, if you were not aware of it – or have not checked your emails in recent days – all “BARE TONES” BLURAYS and DVDs were finally shipped this past week.

CDs, too!

And as far as we know, the vinyl pressings (originally promised for November, but delayed because of Covid – whatever the hell that means), are still slated for mid-January delivery. We will keep you posted.

We SO appreciate your patience.

And we happy – and HONORED – to report that not one person asked for a refund due to these delays, even though we offered full paybacks.

You cannot know how grateful we are for your loyalty and support.

Thank you.

I think Help! would have been a great album to be around for the recording. The Beatles were starting to work with multi-tracking and keyboards and were still working together and transitioning and evolving in so many ways. John wrote the song Help! overnight and worked with Paul to get the music right and to be there for that 8 hour stretch of intense and very personal Lennon creativity would have been golden. Seems like good place to have be able to observe the Fab Four’s brilliance.

Ahhhh! So that would seem to explain why you used three songs from Rubber Soul on the EP! As long as we’re dreaming, a time machine tour of Help!, Rubber Soul and then Revolver would show their incredible evolution in 16 months. I just looked that up! In sixteen months, they accomplished Help! (Including the motion picture) Rubber Soul, and Revolver. Unreal!
When you get a time machine, please, let me know.

Well…. I sort of did with Peter Jackson’s “Get Back” series.
But I would love to see the session of SGT. Peppers.

Don Driver

The album would be “In Step”
By Stevie Ray Vaughan
and Double Trouble
Just to be a fly on the wall

Al Seger

I’d love to see Brian May building up a guitar harmony extravaganza one guitar track at a time. It doesn’t matter what song. If I had to choose, I think I’d go for Queen II album.

Phil

Easy peasy. Has to be “Highway to Hell” with the inimitable Bon Scott and the greatest rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young. Angus ain’t too shabby with Phil and Cliff holding it all together. They worked and played hard and had great senses of humour in their RnR blood ⚡💙❤🎶🎸🤘

Vic rector

Next album name …It’s treason then

John Thomas

“Roll The Bones”
(my favorite RUSH album)

Joe Hrozencik

Probably Zeppelin, 3.

Joe Hrozencik

I think 3 was when they started really being themselves, and not relying on old blues standards. At first, they had to,because everything happened so fast. Lucky them,right!! Lol.

Paul F. ILLIG

The Beatles Abbey Road. Being a huge Beatles fan myself any chance to see them crafting the magic and the interactions between them would be gold!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Here is the artwork for the STILL unreleased Elm Treason Christmas EP “Treason’s Greetings.” (Maybe next year). Still, the artwork – our faces emblazen on christmas ornaments –  has a kind of “Christmas Card” feel to it. It was supposed to be released three years ago… but we just haven’t the heart… yet.
