Xmas Single Details.


Here's the front cover of The Slingsby Hornets Xmas single, released on December 1st.
It will be available for download from the usual outlets and on CD from http://www.freewebstore.org/Expedition-HotDog-Records for the princely sum of £2.50 (+S&H).


It features two tracks, an up tempo Power Pop rendition of the Shakin' Stevens festive favourite 'Merry Christmas Everyone', and an 80's Glam Metal version of Ringo Starr's 1999 Christmas song 'Come On Christmas (Christmas Come On)', all lovingly wrapped in a rather nice card wallet.

Good News and Bad News...

First the bad news, a slight delay in production means that the CDs will not be ready for the 14th, however they are at the pressing plant and the delay should only be a matter of days.


On the plus side here's a picture of a sample badge made for approval before the production run. Looking quite smart I think you'll find.
