Hi guys
Prince : yes it's exactly stil the case and we are still stuck at square one. The difference is that I think my patience has worn out now. It's so crazy, because I know Highlyenn really wants her dad's music to be out again, and especially reach the skaters who made his album legendary. I went all the way to meeting her in Brooklyn last january, she was super cool and honored and said she had collected most of the master tapes for Ululation 1, and that they were on her desk ready to ship... After a couple texts she vanished away again, at first she said she wanted to wait for all the tapes to be collected in the Spring of 2014 (some were in their family house in Vermont), but after that : incommunicado.
I re-emailed her yesterday after seeing the post being bumped again, because I'm getting as bummed as you guys, but for all I know if communication is that bad BEFORE we even start any of the reissuing process (which takes A LOT of communication), I think I might just give up. It's too much stress, I spent a lot of time on this already and can't afford to lose any more on passion alone --the dream with reissuing "rare" music like that being to just break even (Unless you stumble upon Sixto "SugarMan" rodriguez, that is).
So... again, super stoked to see that so many people are still into this, but super bummed that nothing will be happening right now. I'd rather not give any tentative dates, so I guess people who wanted to share the files can because it seems to be the only way that Ululation will be heard again at this point, and if ever by miracle these tapes ever reached I'd let everybody know on the Slap board and would go into the reissuing process in a heartbeat... It just doesn't look like it's happening this second... I'd make the release special enough that you'd want to buy it even if you downloaded the files before, ha !
