jeff aragon and matt leonard and i signed the contract saturday, november 13, 2004.
2 albums over 3 years, with an option for a live albul or dvd, or 3rd album.
also, i got a reversion of my masters after the expiration of the deal on november 13, 2007.
i had full creative and content control.
this means i have the full say on the music, lyrics, and the art work and packaging, etc.
i had a recording costs deductible of $500.00
as for royalties on album and merch sales, ticket sales, etc, i got half, they got half.
not a bad deal actually.
when the contract expired, i got the masters back, and destroyed the first album masters.
i am also free and clear to do with my music as i please.
so sesh,
whatever dude

I'm interested in your first album. You have that on file somewhere?Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.Comment

Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!Comment

because the sound quality, as well as the production was horrible, and
i was unable to afford more studio time to do overdubs and fix it up.
fucking thing was so sloppy and sounded so bad, i refused to allow my record company to release it.
i didn't want people who were eagerly waiting to hear my 1st record at the time pay the price and get a horrible sounding sloppy ass piece of trash.
it's a quality control thing.
also, i really didn't have much of a clue what i was doing with that first album.
i destroyed it because i couldn't erase it."It's like trying to fit a mouse fart into a sardine can with a shoe horn"-Ace DiamondOriginally posted by hideyoursheepComment

that is not true.
look, PB, only one version of art work was ever proposed,
i did not approve it.
i burned the original.
there are no copies of the cover art.
either way, the record label folded before the ink on the album art was even dry.
they never did anything for me.
local punks record was an independant label out of jeff aragon's house in hemet, california.
i found out he now lives in hawaii.
either way, like i said, i cannot show you what i do not have.
what i do still have is the liner notes, lyrics, track listing.
i've kept them on a 3.5 floppy.
i need to hook up my A:/ drive on my computer.Last edited by ace diamond; 01-19-2010, 12:03 AM."It's like trying to fit a mouse fart into a sardine can with a shoe horn"-Ace DiamondOriginally posted by hideyoursheepComment

like i said, of everything i have ever done, that album title is the only thing that is not my doing.
blame my manager, matt leonard, aka, matt phuzz.
that was his idea.
either way, it's a play on words from "666-the number of the beast" from iron maiden.
what the hell...........*sigh*"It's like trying to fit a mouse fart into a sardine can with a shoe horn"-Ace DiamondOriginally posted by hideyoursheepComment
