Hey ShredMeister, you have discovered Guthrie at the tail end of a long slow rise to the beginning of his official recording career since he hasn't even released a solo album yet! Guthrie's debut album is expected to be released around the middle of this year after they re-record the drum parts and then the guitar parts. I hear that the powers in charge of this production want to get a huge hi-fi sounding production out of it and they're going to do whatever it takes to get it to sound awesome. We waited this long so I suppose another half-year isn't going to kill us.
As for the DVD's, these are essentially promotional DVDs - one of the Cornford Amps clinic conducted at Tone Merchants on Jan 24, '04 and the other is a camcorder recording of Guthrie's jazz/fusion band the Fellowship Live @ The Bassment in April of '04. But the video quality of the Fellowship DVD is really poor (dark and grainy), especially after the editing process to add chapters and things like that. It was kind of dark to begin with, but got really fuzzy and darker after the editing and duplication process, so I'm not going to offer this DVD anymore.
I'm hoping to make another promotional DVD of a DV camcorder recording of the Jan 19 show here at the Tone Mecca which I believe was Guthrie and the band's best overall performance that week although each night had its strengths and weaknesses. I'm in the process of adding chapters and things like that and eliminating some other footage from the Jan 19 material. I believe some footage from this show can make it onto the official Cornford Records DVD of the Jan 20 show as "outtakes" and "bonus material". That's what I'm hoping I could do as the Jan 19 show has some stellar performances (especially of the EC material) that weren't quite matched during the Jan 20 show.
I ran out of the clinic DVD copies last week and will receive more later this week. I'll see what comes out of the Jan 19 footage but I want to clear this with Guthrie first. I know he was very pleased with that night's performance, but I still want to make sure Guthrie's all cool with it. I think this new DVD would be a great promotional thing that could help sales of Guthrie's debut album (along with the official full-price DVD) whenever it gets released. You guys are going to snap up whatever Guthrie releases officially through Cornford Records when they come out, right??? It wouldn't be cool if all you do is snatch up these bargain amateur stuff and not buy Guthrie's official pro stuff later. But that couldn't possibly happen, could it?
I'll keep you guys posted. To contact me about this stuff, you can email me at:

Hey, Ed,
Many thanks for your info. I get it, I´ll wait. I can´t speak for the rest, but given it´s Guthrie, I would get all of it, don´t care if it´s official released or not. And if your saying the performances were great, then even more so!
Yes, please, keep us in the loop...
