saxman73 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, A few years ago, I got some support on this board for my Kickstarters for “No Filter” and "The Turn" so I wanted to let you all know about a new all analog project I am fundraising for: a quartet record with jazz legend Kenny Barron, Joe Martin and Johnathan Blake. This new album is a mix of compositions of mine and standards. There are some duets between Kenny Barron and I, and some quartet tracks. The album was recorded to multitrack tape by Ryan Streber at Oktaven Audio, and mixed at Brooklyn Recording by Pete Rende on a custom all tube 1/2 inch Ampex 351 tape machine that was painstakingly converted to half inch 30ips operation by some of the best techs in the US. That process took over two years but the machine sounds fantastic and I'm planning on using it for many more records in the future. Bernie Grundman will do the mastering and cut the record, all analog. The Kickstarter page is here. It has many rewards, starting with the vinyl itself, in regular or limited, numbered edition, but also including test pressings, R2R tapes, as well as high resolution downloads and CDs. The "basic" AAA 180g vinyl costs $35. A word about shipping: shipping is expensive, but, like we did the last couple of times, I am happy to do group shipping to one or two members in Australia if there are people who want to set up a group buy. I've set up a reward to do that on the Kickstarter: buy 10 LPs and get shipping for $7 per LP (which is the cost of shipping in the USA). I can make other arrangements if there are people interested. I really went all out to make this record sound great. I am very pleased with the results, musically as well as sonically, and I hope you will consider supporting this project. As before, I am happy to send members two mixed tracks at 192/24, so you can check out the music and the sound. Just let me know. I am happy to answer any and all questions. Thank you for your support! Jerome Sabbagh Edited December 16, 2022 by saxman73 clarity, add tags, spelling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEN MISTER Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 ‘NO FILTER’ and ‘ THE TURN’ are amazing albums. . Jerome is dedicated to recording his music in a fastidious manner and ensures that the subsequent pressings on vinyl and cd are demo quality. If there are any other members interested, I would be up for this. Red Billy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wikeeboy Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'll have a go at this. Just need to work out what pledge to make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelossus Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I would be up for a group buy to save on shipping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd likely buy 2 copies and would also be interested in the previous releases. Would mean we'd be able to get a bulk order going pretty quickly if a few more jump on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEN MISTER Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That looks like 6 records already, so just 4 more needed. There is an excellent interview with Jerome buried somewhere in the stereoNET back pages. Very interesting man. The article is also included on his website , and worth a read to understand his goals.

AFCAD Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Wonder what the greater than 10 per unit cost is? Will go with one to make it 12 if the deal can be made to work. Have Jerome's other two crowd sourced ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can figure out shipping for any number of LPs over ten, so wherever the order ends up, we can work it out. I don't know exactly where the shipping cost would end up but it won't be more than $7 per LP, and maybe less, I am not sure. I can include copies of "No Filter" in the package, that's no problem, but "The Turn" is completely sold out, sorry! Thank you for your support! Let me know when you are ready (no rush) and we can figure out details. Jerome Sabbagh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the scheme of things, these are relatively modest quantities at a more than fair price already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep agree, deal is very fair. Just have had experience dealing with US orders where there is an optimum item number for a post cost before the unit price starts going up until the next optimum number is achieved...if that makes any sense at all!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxman73 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) I looked at what everyone on the thread wrote and below is what I have (all prices in USD): @ZEN MISTER: one LP $35 + $7 shipping = $42 @wikeeboy: 2 numbered LPs of “Vintage”, 2 numbered LPs of “No Filter” $140 + $28 shipping = $168 @kelossus: one LP $35 + $7 shipping = $42 @scuzzii: 4 LPs, $140 + $28 shipping = $168 @evil c: one LP $35 + $7 shipping = $42 @AFCAD: one LP $35 + $7 shipping = $42 @muriwai: 3 CDs (The Turn, No Filter, Vintage) $50 + $7 shipping = $57 Total = $561 including shipping. Please everyone confirm that it's right and please let me know if it's not. If everything is correct, we can proceed with payment. My Paypal account is jerome@jeromesabbagh.com. Either one of you can send the total to me and you can figure out the rest (easier for me), or you can all pay me individually (in which case I would need everyone to identify themselves clearly when paying, so I know exactly who paid). I will need one clear address in Australia to send everything though, when the time comes. Please let me know what you prefer. If anyone else wants in, we can make it happen too, just let us know and write on this thread. Thank you all so much for your support! This board has really been amazing over the years. I really appreciate it. Edited December 26, 2022 by saxman73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzii Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 mine is correct. I'm happy to have them sent to me and i will distribute (at my cost). We are spread across the place, so no one better address than another in reality. If there is someone in Melbourne who is a better option, I'm Ok for that as well (given i might be the only Sydney person). Will send payment for mine now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
