It's been a hot and sweaty Summer for being stuck in a rehearsal studio preparing for 4 new songs to be recorded. But that is precisely what has been going on.<br />
<br />

<br />
With 12 songs written and developed, the first 4 songs will be recorded in the coming months. It is thought that 3 four-track E.P.s will be the way to release them all. Gradually, however, Loopy are facing the fact that E.P. is an outdated concept lost on anyone born since whenever. Come to think of it, MP3s are a little old hat these days, what?<br />

Earlier this week, Dom began the process by recording the drums for the first 4 tracks. Using the excellent facilities of Studio 91 and a bowl of Jelly Beans to keep his energy levels up, Dom thumped out the four tracks while other members of Loopy popped in to the studio to offer [minimal] support. Studio 91's excellent Sam and Tom have been engineering the process.<br />

It was a gruelling process. Choosing which of Loopy's officially released tracks from the past 20 years could be put on a Best Of compilation. <br />
<br />
And what to call it? "This Vanity?"<br />
<br />
Originally, "Sparkle" seemed to fit. But then the best artwork dictated that "Living The Adventure" is the most appropriate.<br />
<br />
And how many tracks?<br />
<br />
Originally, 12 was the number of tracks that the band was aiming for. But then the wrestle for song selection was made so much simpler by adding two extra slots. So 14 songs is the most appropriate. AND it means that the album will fit on one side of a C90 cassette - the preferred album length and format when the band started out 20 years ago.<br />
<br />
Indeed, Tom and Ad were recalling how the first album, "Dazzler", had its tracklist chosen on the basis of an A and B side.<br />
<br />
Bless.<br />
<br />
A million gigs, a handful of singles and five albums later, here we are. For your pleasure. Why not order a copy for the one you love or download the album for free.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Also to be celebrated is the forthcoming 'Best Of' album. How wonderful for you. A vanity project for sure, and with more tracks than you're probably imagining, it'll include 14 songs that were voted for by the band itself. All taken from the band's 20 year canon of recordings so far.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, fourteen songs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And if you want a copy, you'll just have to stump up for a bit of postage. Shall we say a quid? Yes, let's say a quid.</div>
<div>
<br /><div>
In the meantime, and imminently, the Christmas single 'Gallery of You' will be available for your jingly, twinkly, glittery and tinselly pleasure. </div>
<div>

<div>
Yule love it.</div>
