Fire and Love is 20 years old… * Updated

Fire & Love, my first recording with the band and the beginning of the bands most successful season, was released 20 years ago. Hard to believe, but it’s true. I’ll get to the point: If you saw my blog over the weekend, you know I’m on a vinyl kick. I’m jonesin’ to have some Guardian vinyl for both the fans and myself.
I’ve been thinking of a release plan all day and figured I’d best ask the folks who can make it happen. YOU.
If you would, fill this little form out and give me some feedback. If all goes well, I’d love to have vinyl pressed before the holidays. I’d love to have the whole Guardian catalog released on wax. Big covers with cool art and liner notes. Just like the golden days of the record industry.

It’s possible. I feel it.

PS- I casually mentioned this to both David and Karl over the weekend. But this is something I’m pushing through on my own to get some steam. This is on top of our planned new recordings later this month.

Guardian Vinyl

I know what I think, Let me know what YOU think.

The response was overwhelmingly in favor of issuing the album on vinyl. I was inspired to try to make this happen before years end, but realistically and to do it right, I’ll need more time. There’s no need to rush this. I want it to be a premium quality item that will delight any fan of the band. But It’s on!

Thanks-

    Hey Jamie,

    Definitely looking forward to having your classic era with Guardian on vinyl! I’d buy each album at $15-$20 apiece. Saw you guys in concert at Cornerstone 2001 and the show rocked! Any idea if or when new Guardian music will be coming out in the future? Let me know, OK? TCGB!

    In His Service and Love,
    George (ChosenNightwolf)

        Will you do so with the Singles you recorded..”Lead the way”, “See you in Heaven/The way home back”, “Cm’on every one”, “Like the sun/Endless summer”? I’ve been blessed! I have all of them in my personal collection! XD :D :)

    Jamie , saw u guys in Paducha Ky Miracle Mile tour u guys played at Unga Bunga Music in Unga Bungatorium the almost opening band would have been Aslan from Clinton Ky. but the lead singers wife was in labor back in Nashville so the band did’nt the chance to open.It was a great concert.P.S the song See You In Heaven was one of the songs played during my mother-in-laws funeral and of course brought everyone to tears thanks for one of the many great songs you guys have recorded!

      Yesterday, one of my English students was depressed because her boyfriend broke up with her, I asked to listen to the Spanish song “Do you know what love is? ” (¿sabes que es amor?) and just as she finished to listen to the song, she felt better… the most important thing is that She is not Christian yet, so this song opened the doors for me to let her know about JESUS love. Thank you Guys!

    The band and the fans deserves it! but it would be nice if you included a digital copy along with the Vinyl, for not all people has avialable a vinyl player, specially in 3d world countries as El Salvador (my country). Let me give you an example, recently, I bought the “I’ll never leave you LP - single” I don’t have a Vinyl player and I’ll never have it. I just bought it just for the sake of my favorite band. Besides, I just bougth it as a piece for my discography, but I’m sure I’ll never listen to it. I wish the seller could have given me the MP3 copy of the album (I’d have paid extra for it) but he couldn’t. I’m saying that in case you included extra tracks on the album (as you did in the Miracle Mile encore edition “take up your cross”) Thank you Jamie, HOpe everything works well, if you take into account this piece of advice, I recomend you to create the English version of the Spanish album “DIME 2002″ as well as the publication of “The worship EP 2010″ GOD bless you!
