So after much careful consideration. . . . .
The Iron Press is back and running again! My father had a record label that he used to produce his own music from and the Iron Press was it. Well after 13 years of nothing. Now things are on the move again. I am so tired of watching all these vultures pluck away at his bones and steal his music, it is time, NOW!
So for all the people that always were there with a beer and a dubbers for him.... and since decided that giving away his career was the best thing for his family, and fans....... SCREW YOU ALL!!!!
I know that there are different arrangements for various projects, and albums. But I never thought that giving the shit away was ever really an idea. You know it costs money to produce music (i.e. - strings, sticks, pic's, guitars, amps, tubes, drums, cymbals exc......so on), let alone the costs to get it to the masses in the forms of production of records, tape and CD!!!!
This stuff should be heard, but not for FREE in the form of torrents, bootlegs and piracy! I doubt that if Jim Shepard were standing here in the flesh that many of you would be doing it like that. Making a tape or burning a CD isn't as blatant as making a torrent or posting a FILESHARE link and just letting the world give a go at it.
I AM FED UP!!!!
So now as result, I am going to systematicly go through all mean unnecessary to get it all removed / taken down from the net. What is out there already in the ways / forms of piracy fine! You all had your turn, now it is me and mine's turn to do it, THE RIGHT WAY!!!!
Jim Shepard's LEGACY will live on, just not by the means of the past presidence of the foreverlowmanblog (YOU ARE A DOUCHE BAG, YOU RAT ASS HOLE!)
By all means, keep it alive in the forms of web posts on OFFICIAL web pages listed below, or make a "youtube" video up load of a show you were fortunate enough to be able to tape.... that stuff is useful, and there is even fewer of those than that of actual copies of media put out by my father!
