from darla.com:

MY MORNING JACKET - Demos Package: At Dawn & Tennessee Fire Demos  CD (Darla: DRL156: 708527015629)  $12.00

COMING 6/11/2007
EXCLUSIVE.  Available 6/11/07. When Darla released My Morning Jacket's epic second record At Dawn the first 2500 CD and 1000 LP came with a bonus demos disc, which was like another, little At Dawn. It has long been out of print now and we frequently receive requests for it. The beloved demos disc is available once again with the addition of previously unreleased demo versions of key tracks from My Morning Jacket's debut record The Tennessee Fire recording sessions, plus a few other gems recorded during the term that haven't yet seen the light of day including "Lil Billy", which was a staple of My Morning Jacket's live set but was never recorded in a studio. If you're an MMJ fan like Darla you're in for a real treat. Track list: Track list: 1. L.O.Z. Intro, 2. The Way That He Sings (demo), 3. Hopefully (demo), 4. Bermuda Highway (demo), 5. Just Because I Do (demo), 6. Lowdown (demo), 7. At Dawn (demo), 8. I Needed It Most (demo), 9. Lead Me Father (demo), 10. Phone Went West (demo), 11. Chills (demo), 12. Heartbreakin Man (demo), 13. The Bear (demo), 14. Picture Of You (demo), 15. I Think I'm Going To Hell (demo) 16. Butch Cassidy (demo), 17. War Begun (Live WFPK), 18. Twilight (Live WFPK), 19. Lil Billy (Live Nashvegas), 20. Magic Man.


This is a new date, it says it's due to be released in less than a month, but I'll believe it when I actually have the CD in my hand.

I'm not falling for this again.

I'm not falling for this again.

;D

I have no idea how many times I've got my hopes up for these but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed...

[The DARK]

I'm not falling for this again.

This time it looks like they're fairly certain it's coming out...prehaps a few delays, but they seem to be caring about it now.  ;)

Nah, we've had dates set before and then delayed indefinitely.  With no official announcement from Riny or any mention of it on the news page, this seems as sketchy as ever.


EDIT: spelling. sorry it's early yet.

Listen to aMD, we've had tons of date and have been promised this for a couple years now... I'll believe it when Dylan has it in his hands.

Oh yea, and they always cancel it due to being close to another release... 3 weeks after Mont De Sundua comes out is what I would call, too close.

I'm gonna have to say that this time they mean it.  I just got this email from them:

Dear My Morning Jacket Fan,

We are thrilled to let you know that the My Morning Jacket 'At Dawn
and Tennessee Fire Demos' CD is finally here at Darla HQ and will
begin shipping to our mail order customers next week. I'm contacting
you because you placed your pre-order way back in 2004 and I suspect
that your shipping address and/or credit card information has likely
changed since then.

If nothing has changed, there's no need to contact me.

If any piece of info has changed, you can do one of the following: 1)
Reply to this email with your new info (or if it's a credit card
number change, you can send the number in two emails in two parts for
security) and please provide your full name. 2) Call me at the number
below with your new info. or 3) Simply place your order again at
http://www.darla.com/. If you choose to place a new order, please let
me know so that I don't try to process your old order as well.

We sincerely apologize for the long wait for this release! The band
and management asked that we delay the project so that fans would
have time to digest all other available MMJ material before adding
yet more to fuel the frenzy. We hope you agree that this release is
worth the wait!

Regards,
Chandra & James

I may have to agree with you after reading that, thanks for posting!

[Kory]

Wow, they even have cover art shown, looks like a purple "at dawn" cover with a caution label...

[BH]

Wow, that is really an elaborate scheme to try and suck me in again.  I have to hand it to them.  

Fool me once...
... shame on....
Shame on you...
If fooled, you can't get fooled again.

[JacketGal]

I got the email too.  I'm thinking Damn, where was I living? What credit card might I have used? What are these "At Dawn demos" and why don't I have them already?   ;)

[The DARK]

Basically, everything is going on in the MMJ world EXCEPT new album and Bonnaroo. Wouldn't have expected that a year ago.

[IHL]

I got the same email Kory on the order that I placed back in 2004!!

[cmccubbin@work]

[Nikkogino]

holy crap balls...can't wait!!!

[Kory]

I bit and finally pre-ordered...

[BH]

Hey, for my records, can someone (Kory-Dylan) tell me which songs were on the original At Dawn Demos that are not on this release?  If I remember right, this new release does not cover everything.
