Well, its been just under a week since the Big Red Recording was released and I am pretty pleased with the response to it. Thanks to so many of you who have said such kind words about it. Its not perfect, but it gives a decent indication of what can be accomplished with 24-hours, with no sleep and a lot of Red Bull. 
Now, there are two other things I would like to achieve now it is recorded:
So, lets look at each one and what is involved - I am positive that every reader of my blog can help in achieving these goals. Read on people…
I would like to produce a professionally reproduced shrink-wrapped CD complete with liner notes that can be sold for a reasonable amount of money, and in which all the profits can go to Comic Relief. With this we have the possibility of making another £10,000 or so for Comic Relief which would be a huge achievement.
To do this I am looking for a sponsor to cover the production of the CDs. This is going to cost around £500 - £1000 to get 500 CDs produced. I am looking for such a generous sponsor (who would of course be credited in the liner notes) to cover this cost. If you can help with this, please contact me and we can discuss it further.
In addition to this I am looking for help from creative minds and artists to create the liner notes art, album cover and other artistic elements for the package. I will lay out the liner notes, but I am…erm…artistically challenged, so I could do with some help to create a cool, moody, interesting looking theme for the album. If you think you can help with this, please contact me.
I am really keen to see all of the music transcribed so people can play it on the guitar, bass, drums and other instruments. I would particularly like to see the songs transcribed into guitar and bass tablature. I don’t have time to do this, so it would be great if a team of volunteers could work on this, maybe using some of the incredible Open Source tabbing programs to create the final transcription. We could then make these transcriptions available so others can play the songs themselves.
This basically involves a team of people listening to the songs, figuring out how to play them and writing the tab. I could then look over the tab and fix up any specific inaccuracies - it mainly needs someone to spend the time documenting the songs. So, if you can help, please get in touch.
Lets make it happen
If we work together, we have an opportunity to make even more money for charity and produce some transcriptions so others can share, play and create their own derivatives of the music. Lets see whats possible, and do get in touch if you can help.

Well, after a 24-hour marathon recording session, it is time to show what we came up with. The songs are a little late as I got to a point after being awake for about 40 hours where I was collapsing in my studio with tiredness, so I needed to grab some sleep before I uploaded them. Here they are:
A month ago these songs never existed, and two days ago they were not recorded. I am pretty pleased with them, naturally there are always things a musician wants to fix, but I am broadly happy with how they came out.
Thanks so much to Emelye for her contributions to the album, to her husband for cooking us breakfast, her pal Toni for cooking for us and providing some amusement in the afternoon, and to everyone who has supported us in this rather wacky effort.
Last.fm certainly rocks! We're big fans of their service.
