Be A Part Of The Posies Tribute Record!

Posies fans,

A large number of bands/performers have contacted me recently wanting to
submit a track for possible inclusion on “Beautiful Escape: The Ultimate
Tribute to The Posies.” Well, now is your chance! I have been blown away by
the high level of interest in this Posies Tribute, and I wanted to give more
people around the world a chance to be a part of it.

You can see on our profile the current list of songs that have already been
selected for inclusion. If you are interested in submitting a track to the
Album, please contact me at burningskyrecords@gmail.com, and let me know
which track you are interested in covering. I am still expecting a number of
specific tracks to be finished shortly by other bands/performers who are
supposed to finish their tracks soon. I can give you guidance as to which
tracks may represent the best opportunity to be a part of the final release.

Also, my plan all along has been for “Beautiful Escape: The Ultimate Tribute
to The Posies” to be a 2-CD release. However, if we get enough great tracks,
there is a chance that it could be expanded to 3-CDs.

The one catch? The absolute “drop dead” date that I need to receive the
tracks by is Monday, December 17th, 2007. No tracks will be accepted after
that date.

Please send any questions as well as any finished tracks to
burningskyrecords@gmail.com.

Cheers, and best of luck!

Alan and the Burning Sky Records Posies Tribute Album Team
