The seeds that grew into this collection were originally sown in the less formal tributes started by Leo Meijer, owner and operator of the Netherlands' Royal Stable Oldham fansite. CDR, not-for-sale tributes have been popping up randomly for a few years through the website, but Leo challenged Tract to try and put together a more formal compilation that included some of the bigger groups that are known to be fans of Mr. Oldham�s songs.
This homage, originally released in August 2004 as a 30 track, double CD set of just 500 copies, sold out almost immediately. Finally, with a few surprise additions, the revamped, remastered, and resequenced version will soon be available.
With all of the well-known names on this collection (Iron and Wine, Calexico, etc.), it�s interesting to note those that wanted to be a part of this project but could not make it happen in time. Black Heart Procession, Sparklehorse, Lampchop, Sufjan Stevens, and Clem Snide all had reserved spots on this disc at one point in the various stages of its development. But given the final product, why dwell on what could have been?
