Meh. ''HB's manager is unable to sort out your remaining items''
Shame, was really interested in some opinions on art/creativity in music versus it being your career and making money, and thoughts on freedom of expression across the music industry in general, partic since I know they were offered & declined contracts to make stuff similar to 1st album. Also whether they think they'll find a style & stick to it, maybe something about how they feel people interperet / misinterperet their music, & how they now relate to music they wrote years ago... Would love t've had some stuff to share here on those subjects...
Wasn't gonna push more than once for an apology let alone a reason why, from experience the manager's a nonresponsive sort, possible same for Pledge - actually I've been quite impressed with Pledge.
As I say meh, looks like I'll get the bit that's of real value to me.
edit 26/8 - away in Scotland til next sat, so I've not forgotten just ain't gonnabe round to get it. Actually I'm quite impressed they're doing it & not refunding me, prbly not that easy just to organise really. 3/9 - OK just got back after driving 7 hrs from deepest Aberdeenshire to Bradford, and (alomst) to my disbellief, what was shipped back Monday b4 last hasn't come... ffs. So they emailed me it but I didn't catch it in my inbox..... so basically don't have it coz I lost it... feeling rather sheepish presently

couldn't getcha few seconds of it after all, but heres a pic: well ain't I just the luckiest sometimes? actually in their defense HB did apologise to me on Myspace on Saturday, and today Pledge mentioned the reason they can't rectify is due to their other commitments now. Don't think it's gonna stop me loving them somehow...

I never pledged for any of these additional items but I started to warm up to the idea if it comes up again. Too bad that they had to cancel them. I wonder what it was that made them do it? I can only see that the deal with Cooking Vinyl might have made them under a contract to do more "official" merchandise. Strangely there is no merchandise at the moment. Surely a t-shirt or something would have been a no-brainer addition to their online shop, once they had customers in to order the new CD.

Well spotted there - they were an unsigned band when they put out the Pledge I think? Contracts can be pretty lengthy I reckon & I can see how one could easily be a commitment getting in the way of anything from Q&As to Tshirts to exclusive tracks, deals done previously or not. Definitely don't be put off Pledging though! The team there are really nice to say the least, they're all ever responsive & reassuring even dealing with such a relatively small pledge (& u should see the pricescale of some of the shiz they're selling on there... ). Wonderland may never have gotten back to me (rgrdless of saying they would 'tmw for sure' three months ago to this day), but HB and Pledge have def been really decent about the whole thing. All my money's backinmyhands now and summofit will certainly get spent on their merchandise stalls...

Glad everything's sorted at last! Glad too that I just went for the EP download.
I'd never come across Pledge before this, but I've subsequently bought Heather Nova's new album this way, and in the lead up to it coming out she sent out unreleased videos and demo tracks, so it was well worth it.

My T shirt I got in May was finally refunded 2 days ago, bought it at the gig last night - just a nightmare though not as bad as Andy's ordeal
