Thanks to everyone who responded to the WHNZ:74:WAR collection in any form, with your help more than $3K was transferred to territorial defense and volunteers engaged in buying all the most necessary things in these terrible days for Ukraine. For me personally, this is a fantastic amount, I never thought that such a thing is even possible... Thanks a lot to everyone who supports my country today. Thank you for all the support: material, informational, spiritual...
I know that among my friends listening to the music included in this compilation, there are many people who still love physical releases. I myself have several times received offers from various people to release this or that release on cassette or even on LP. However, until today, such things have not been implemented. But only until now: some time ago I was contacted by the American artist Jesse S. Dewlow and offered to release WHNZ:74:WAR on CS-92 cassette. Obviously, the digital version of the compilation was too extensive so he had to select only certain tracks from the original digital album. He approached the matter as a producer and as a listener at the same time. Everyone has a different perspective on this or that substance, we can describe even a tree (or sea) in different ways. So I decided not to influence Jesse's choice in any way, because it was his suggestion, he just saw how else he could help and just offered his hand. I am immensely grateful to him for that.
I received word from him yesterday that the release is ready and will be available for shipment on Monday. You can hear the mastered version of the tracks on this cassette release, called The Gold and Purple Sceptre, on the label's Saga House BC.
