Kickstarter campaign to press new, more-reliable CD copies (with expanded track list)

My first run of "Nice Things" CDs was unsatisfying; while many customers were able to play the discs, too many could not. The problem is that low-run CD manufacturing uses CD reproduction (CD-R) technology that works for some--but not all--CD players. I've trashed the remaining discs in that run because I'm not comfortable selling a product that *might* play.

The solution is a run of replicated CDs, the process major labels use. Because these are more expensive than CD-Rs, I don't want to produce them if no one is interested. Hence, the Kickstarter campaign.

This new product will not be identical to the first run of "Nice Things" (and not just because it will play on all CD players). I'm making some alterations--primarily by adding four new tracks, including my breakout hit "Don't Shit on Baltimore"--and so this new product will be marketed as Nice Things (Tailor's Version). Because of the alterations--get it?

I am offering lots of fun, reasonably priced rewards. Zoom concerts, house concerts, a song written to your exact specifications and recorded in the same style as the songs on "Nice Things (Tailor's Version)." All rewards include a new copy of the CD.

Thank you in advance to any and all who support this project.
