Any one know about the timing of this release. Since it was recorded back in 2001, I'm just curious why it took so long to release. Don't get me wrong, I think the timing is perfect  (I was craving some new music). Any ideas?

It was recorded just after the death of George Harrison.  They wanted to release it then, but I believe legal decisions were being made about George's work, which made it impossible to release the EP at the time.  I even heard that they were toying with releasing it in Canada under another name (yim yames?) to get around the legalities but obviously that didn't happen.

As to why it is being released now.  I suppose they just didn't have the occasion to until now.  Jim said in an interview that the concert appearance he did with Paul and Ringo for the David Lynch Foundation inspired him to finally release this tribute.  No new MMj material probably helped with the timing of it all, too, I would guess.

Timing? Perhaps a Yim Yames solo album & tour before the next Jacket? I know Carl is or is about to be a new dad & may not want the pressure of a new record and tour for a bit.

Hate to take business away from Yim Yames' site, but that's a hefty price tag. You can pick the vinyl up on Amazon for $12.

The t-shirt better be cool.  It better be Jim related and not some cheesy shirt they give away to volunteers.  Just sayin'...

Plus S&H and Tax. I thought the S&H was kind of high but after pricing all individually it came to about 5 bucks more at YY than Amazon or Sanctuary. I pre-ordered the whole enchilada cause a portion was to benefit the farm. They made that very clear. Not to mention you get the download to keep the veins pumped for a while!

Also, they did say everything would be available to all August 4. I'll probably get another vinyl at that time.

I like how it says "solo album coming soon"

This is now the era of Yim Yames huh?

Prediction: Jacket will do the festival tour next summer - late night Roo for sure!

THey should have their own festival like Phish does. I'd travel anywhere for that.

Maybe after another album or 2 they could/would?!

They certainly would be able to bust out plenty of rare or basically never heard live songs from early albums [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

I'll be going the Amazon route for the vinyl. (Actually, I'll try a couple of CIM stores, first)
