As many of you have already heard, John Spalding, the man behind Loveland, recently passed on after a long, hard-fought fight against cancer. I just received this message from producer Matt Bayles secondhand, via Chris Estey, asking for community help to release the Loveland album, The Beautiful Truth, which you can read about here. Hey everyone,
As many of you know, John's record, "The Beautiful Truth," has been finished for a few weeks now. John spent so much time over the last couple of years finishing it, and we want to make sure it gets it into stores.
Our goal is to raise money to get a first pressing made. Because John meant so much to so many, I am hoping that no single person will have to donate more than $50 to make this happen. If $20 is all you can afford, that still is a tremendous help.
I am in the process of opening a separate trust account dedicated to the release of "The Beautiful Truth." Of course 100% of any money made from sales of the record, as well as any excess money left in the CD release fund, will be sent to the medical trust fund. As soon as I have opened the account I will let everyone know what the exact name of the fund is so they can donate.
Plans are also in the works for a digital release as soon as possible. Our goal is to get the CD in local stores by Christmas.
Please forward this information to anyone else who may want to contribute.
Thank you,
Matt
