Julia Fordham / Lock & Key 6CD box

I am so eager to know is there any fans in China buy this amazing set like me? I have anticipated it since the day I pre-ordered it. But totally have no any idea about where my copy now. SO SAD!(´。＿。｀)

Hi Paul, did the orders in this site be shipped in the same day as the ones from Julia’s official shop, which means the 14th?
I am counting the days but I really don’t know the exactly date when it been shipped.

Hi Paul, my copy of the Julia Fordham box arrived today, after a longer-than-expected trip through the postal system. Thanks very much, I’m so glad to have received a copy of this great set! Hope you have a great Christmas, thanks for all the fantastic info on new releases and deals you’ve given this year. Discovering your site was one of the (few) highlights of 2020!

I also recieved my copy of the 6-CD-box today.

Did anybody notice some distortion in the track “(Love Moves In) Mysterious Ways” on various passages in the song?
I fear it is due to high recording level (aka “loudness war”) of the song(s), which really is (or would be) a pity.

Unfortunately also to find in a huge number of other remastered records.

Mine arrived safely here about an hour ago (9.30am 17th).

I am so sorry Julia, why did I let you go ? More fool me. Absolutely loving China Blue, just listening to the first track, to which I knew all the words but had never heard this version before, it took me straight back to 1989 and the misery of leaving my friends to go and get a job.

When I am done with this those Cherry Red re-issues from a couple of years back are going to get a hammering. Nice to have your wonderful music back in my life Julia.

Thanks for the safe delivery Paul.

The pandemic has caused me to scroll through discogs, amazon etc looking for box sets or remasters that I might have missed and just happened to type juliafordham.com in my browser a couple weeks ago and ordered immediately.

I’m more a fan of the poppier early releases, especially the fab Larry Klein produced releases (Concrete Love original tracklisting is my all time fav) so as much of a fan as I have been, these later more jazz outings are still unexplored for me.

I thought the cherryred releases for Swept and Falling were some of their best releases, such a wealth of notes and reflections from Larry Klein, Gary Clark, Simon Climie and notes on each track from Julia herself.

Very happy to have one of these box sets in the mail!

I think I have just secured your last one….wow….that was lucky….I have just upgraded hi fi at home so this will be a joy to listen now my hi fi does make vocals sing now…literally….

Just order the box yesterday from the SDE website and so excited. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing these unique releases.

Not a deal as such, but thought i’d point out that Be Bop Deluxe’s last album Drastic Plastic is getting the deluxe treatment: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/be-bop-deluxe-drastic-plastic-4cd-2dvd-deluxe-box-set/

Been waiting for this for so long – and it looks as though I won’t be disappointed!

I ordered this earlier this morning – absolute no brainer for me! Have seen Julia live quite a few times over the years. Most recently (2018) at Sage Gateshead as part of the ‘Woman To Woman Tour’ with Judie Tzuke and Beverley Craven, who, by the way, has a nice line in humour and was very funny when chatting to the audience between songs. Also, did you know Julia’s mother comes from Gateshead?!
However, I digress, what I wanted to say is that I’ve been such a fan of Julia’s voice ever since I heard her on the radio singing ‘The Comfort Of Strangers’ and the outstanding ‘Happy Ever After’ all those years ago. A wonderful voice and if you get a chance to see her live (a pandemic not withstanding) you won’t be disappointed. This looks a lovely box set at a fab price.

Would love to order from SDE, but shipping to the US is very high. Even given the COVID-related challenges, £26.00 is much higher than the £12.99 charged by Julia’s shop. (Don’t know how they ship.) Can you make an alternate shipping option other than Royal Mail available?

You finally broke me Paul.

I went Ape over Julia Fordham in 1989 one of only 4 artists that I was determined to get absolutely everything for. 7″ers, 12″ers, little 7″ boxes, live albums, cassettes, imports, CD1, CD2, promo videos (Vanderquest – I think) I had everything up to Concrete Love and then stopped. Life as usual getting in the way. So glad this is there to mop up the bits and bobs. She was fantastic live. Haven’t seen her since 1994, Birmingham, but she had presence and oodles of it.

Ordered!

Very pleased to see Julia Fordham get some promotion here. She’s been quietly producing top quality albums for many years. I managed to get a copy of the original Japanese release of ‘The Language of Love’ when it came out in 2014. It has since become one of my favourite Julia Fordham albums, together with the brilliant China Blue. Now all I want is to see some of her albums reissued on vinyl but I’m not sure how likely that is.

Ordered times two. Someone close to me will want the spare for sure.

Thanks, Paul, stay safe.

Let us know when box sets start coming with vaccines.

I’m not a fan but I have to say that this 6 cd set plus a signed card is seriously good value. There should be a lot more box sets at this sort of price. Both of the Ultravox box sets for Vienna were around £50 and they were excellent. Fantastic site Paul, I also look every day. Merry Christmas everyone.

Ordered!!! Many Thanks Paul.

Ordered!!! Paul, thanks again for the info on all these fantastic releases – SDE is my to go website daily for updates or else I would never know whats new out !! Thanks for the work and maybe get an interview with Julia ?????

The Donna Summer 3cd Another Place And Time (the new one), is on sale for 16 Pounds on Amazon UK. Great deal!

I have been a major, major supporter of Julia’s since Ferneham Hall gig in 1988 and have seen her live more times than I care to count. But I have been mildly baffled by this release..

£45 for 6 CDs and the obligatory signature I guess isnt bad value – but for her devotional fanbase the only need is the ‘new’ album – and by the title I am assuming it is made up of outtakes.

The live songs are a bit meh, given she has released a live album recently and The Language Of Love was released in the UK, as I have a non Japanese copy, so not sure the PR blurb is correct on that one.

However, if you havent bought the five ‘indie’ releases, it is good value and if you haven’t heard China Blue – you should do as it is magnificent.

As the Cherry Red releases – which delivered two new to digital tracks and nowt else over 4 double packages – I would have assumed that there was more in the locker. i.e. demos.

Ordered! Been with her since Day One when I heard The Comfort of Strangers on AM radio.
Glad to finally get a chance to order something from SDE!
Hope all are staying safe while this vaccine gets out there.
Looking forward to a show a day at some point in 2021!
