Well, thats it. All is done. I didn't get a chance to post anything over the last few days, as the workload was just too much, but the final final FINAL mixes were completed on the 23rd June. Mastering was done on Wednesday and finished on Thursday 25th, at about half 10.
Incidentally it would appear that Michael Jackson was kind enough to hang around just long enough to see the completion of this project.
The booklets and inlays arrived from the printers at about 4.00 on Friday, which I'll admit was starting to cut it a bit fine for the release on Saturday night! The printed disks arrived on the Friday night courtesy of Drew. The first completed version was born at 4.56pm on Saturday 27th!
The launch event - Pirate Night at the Sal - started at 9.30 on that same evening. And that went ... well, thats another story really ... but it all went very well. This story of the recording is now pretty much at an end, although I feel a "what I would do differently" coming on, but essentially this blog is now complete. Looking back its interesting to see the whole story unfold, from the beginning idea through to having the finished product in my hand. I'd strongly suggest a trip to our main website, www.skeletoncrewrocks.com to check out the finished tracks on there.
G'night!
