I wonder what the chances of some of Hayley's concert recordings being released and perhaps sold through Hayley's Online Store.
I know there are a lot of ifs and buts involved. I for one would be happy to pay for legitimate recordings of the concerts.
I get the feeling that with modern technology most of the concerts are recorded at the mixing desk.
I would be happy to have them completely un-edited exactly as the concert ran including the chat and giggles between the songs.
Very simple packaging maybe gate fold card sleeves like the Treasure promo. I presume most of the concerts would take two discs.
Maybe even the plastic sleeve format of the standard promotional discs.
The other reason I suggest this is that sooner or later someone will start selling bootlegs, probably of dubious quality.
It would be great if Hayley and her management could organise that these recordings could be released and they could control the quality and content.
Many other artists are going down the path of " OFFICIAL BOOTLEGS " ie Tori Amos
For Instance. Hayley's Kiwi Ceili at Shepherds Bush.
Two of the Dublin Concerts from the National Concert Hall were recorded and broadcast..
one or two from the Winery tour of New Zealand.
The members in the UK could surely suggest some of the best concerts from what they have heard.
The reason I suggest Hayley's Online Store is it has been reliably there since the start and has Hayley's best interest at heart.
and these concerts would probably sell steadily but in small numbers over a prolonged period of time.
Only having one source would also mean lower quantities would have to be produced, Unlike an album which has to be stocked in numerous stores throughout the world in the hope of them making some effort to sell it.
I would imagine most of the members here would be more than happy to buy them.
There are also a larger group who visit the official forum but don't participate who would also be potential customers for these recordings.
I HAVE ADDED A POLL just to get an idea how many of us would find this an attractive idea.
