Many thanks to those who have pledged to buy a copy thus far. All those who ordered today will have their CDs posted tomorrow (Tuesday).
PLEASE keep up the work in trying to publicise this charity CD, all profits are going to DEC and Cancer Research UK, absolutely NO profits are retained from the sale. The only gain to me is the fun I've had in putting this together with everyone who took part on the project.
Please give generously (see thread below on how to buy a copy on CD or 320kbps mp3s).

LEST WE FORGET - Ready for release tomorrow!!
At long last - and after a period of some three years - the charity CD is now ready for issue, and will begin to be despatched tomorrow (Monday 17th June).
HOW TO GET HOLD OF A COPY / AVAILABLE MEDIUMS
Payment is by donation, with a recommended minimum donation of £5 GBP.
UK Buyers
A CD or 320kbps coded mp3 of the CD is on offer to all; please stipulate which you prefer.
Non-UK Buyers
Only the mp3 is available (sorry, but as the cost includes postage, this is necessary to ensure that outlay is kept to a minimum and profit for charity is as high as possible).
All profits will be going to two charities, ie DEC and Cancer Research UK.
PAYMENT
PayPal
Please send money using this method to the following email address: stevestringbender@yahoo.co.uk
Cash / Cheque
I will accept payment by this method; however, please email me for payee and address details (again to stevestringbender@yahoo.co.uk).
If requesting a CD, please state your delivery address with the payment (or by email to the same email as quoted here). Download links to the mp3s will be sent as soon as I'm aware of payment.
I'm hoping that we can raise as much money as possible to ensure that the project has been worthwhile - and also to get as much money for the two charities. As ever, PLEASE tell as many people as possible of this project.
Hope to hear from you all very soon - and thanks again for your continued support!!

Ready to roll!
With just six days to release, the CD is getting ready to roll! I hope you can all become involved in getting hold of a copy, and hopefully ask friends and family to get one too. It will available primarily as a CD but also as a hi end mp3 download from Monday.
The cost of the EP is going to be "donation rated" with a recommended donation of £5, although higher donations would mean more profits to the two charities (DEC and Cancer Research UK).
To ensure that profits are kept as high as possible for the charities, any requests for non UK purchases will necessitate being mp3 only; having investigated overseas postage rates, it would mean almost running at a loss. However, mp3 files would mean you'd get the music sooner!!
PAYMENT
My favoured method of payment would be by PayPal, as this would mean the money arrives swiftly, and the items can be despatched as soon as I'm aware of the payment. Of course this doesn't preclude payment by cash and cheque via snailmail post of course. If you want to pay this way, please drop me an email (to tokengestures@yahoo.co.uk) and I'll send you the address to send the donation to.
Please try and push this little project to as many people as possible. It has been a long time in getting finished and I want to ensure that everyones efforts have been worthwhile.
Links to PayPal payment will be posted here in the next few days.
Many thanks once again.

Acquiring license for CD - numbers required ... action please!
As this project featuring cover versions has totally charitable interests at its core, it is necessary to gauge roughly how many copies will be needed at release day on 17 June (two weeks today).
As mentioned previously, each CD will be as a donation, with a recommended fee of £5 for UK purchases (maybe a couple of £s more for international copies as postage fees are so high, else the profits for the charities will be negligible). Of course, this is just a recommended cost, I would happily accept more!
To get an idea on numbers, I would be grateful if all interested could send me a quick email with requirements; this is not casting orders in stone, it is merely to give me an idea for the license. As the licenses are so expensive, it is necessary to ensure that the profits, every penny of which is going to the two charities, are kept as high as possible.
The email address to write to is tokengestures@yahoo.co.uk, and please entitle email "LWF CD".
Many thanks to all for your help. Hope to hear from you all very soon.
