Those of you familiar with my Soulman "The Truth Is Forever" and "Beautiful" mixes may know that I am a big fan of the Hendrickson Road House album from 1970, one of the great holy grails of the psych / folk rock world. Through this very blog I was lucky enough to meet the singer / songwriter / guitarist / creator of this amazing record, Sue Akins (actually spelled "Eakins" but changed for the album so that people would get the pronunciation correct). Even got to interview Sue a while back- unfortunately my unwieldy daily schedule (you know, that burdensome encumbrance that keeps me from regularly updating THAT REAL SCHITT) hasn't afforded me the time to transcribe the full interview as of yet. Luckily I don't think Sue (who is just a wonderful woman and has become a good friend of mine) is gonna hold it against me that she may have ended up wasting a couple hours of her time answering a bunch of questions from a Hip Hop dude straight outta Philly, questions and answers that unfortunately may never see the light of day. Well, it was a great experience and an honor for me to be able to talk to the person behind one of my favorite albums, and I'm still gonna try to finish transcribing everything and run the interview right here whenever I can do it (I just know I'm such a bum when it comes to stuff like this that I can't say when I'll get it done, but I'm gonna try). Meanwhile, please check out Sue's Swan Fungus interview, which honestly covers pretty much everything I did and then some.Anyway, all of this is to inform those that may be interested that the Hendrickson Road House lp reissue is officially a reality- no vinyl as of yet but the 100% legit CD on Wooden Hill is now available for pre-orders via Amazon, Amazon UK and Amazon Japan too. I've already pre-ordered one for self, but I also got an advance copy a minute ago and it sounds real nice (with six bonus tracks- my personal fave being "Beachcomber", a tune that right now I can't get out of my head). The cover and booklet design is on point as well- as I told Sue, Wooden Hill did an excellent job and gave this album the proper reissue treatment that it deserves, something that I really hoped would happen and gratefully it did. Plus I got a shout out in the credits too! Thanks, Sue.

I knew about the forthcoming Cd-reissue, though I was missing the info about additional cuts having been thrown in.
Apart from enjoying the Cd-release, there's much asking for an Lp-version and I hope Sue may locate a trustful label to bring the project to a good end finally.
Hi Theo! I thought your were still remodelling! Vinyl may come yet. Wolf was good, just too far away!Talk anytime,,,
