Hollie holds the rights to her first EP... so its up to her :)
When the MP3's become available for the new album you'll be able to listen to 30 seconds samples of every track, due to contractual obligations we can't have the entire track available for play
we've been enjoying listening to it this week
Posted by Mr Editor 11.12AM, 11 Mar 2010Thanks Simon! I'll be back on Mon to buy. :-) Thanks alot.
Meanwhile someone should be lobbying the right people to make Hollie's first EP available on mp3 downlaod again. I was lucky enough to get a cd of it fairly cheaply, but those cds are fetching crazy money now. It would be best for all Hollie Smith fans if they (or the Conscious Roots cds that some of the songs are included on) were available as downloads through amplifier and through the big international dealers like itunes and amazon. It would be so easy to do now since amazon has an attractive and easy package even for smaller artists to release their work as downloads, but someone as "big" as Hollie Smith should be international by now anyway. Such a shame about all that record label nonsense she had to go through.
Hollie's myspace and website are still not updated so hopefully we can rely on amplifier to have snippet album samples after the release date so that bloggers can direct interesting parties to have a sample listen....

Hollie's album will be available via us in MP3 format - it will become available for purchase/download on the 15th (next Monday) when the CD is released.
Posted by Mr Editor 8.57AM, 10 Mar 2010Apologies Simon! Didn't realise you had that. When you search smoke for Hollie Smith it brings them all up so I remembered that one....
Do you know whether Hollie Smith's new album will be released to mp3 on amplifier or whether it's cdc only? I ask because the last album I purchased the mp3s from you and I wonder whether I need to pre-order the cd now or whether it will be available on mp3. I'm in the UK so I' grateful to you site for allowing me to access Hollie's music.
