The MAYFIED Deluxe Bundle

As promised, the Mayfield Deluxe Bundle is finally here! Read on to learn what’s included – or, if you can’t wait, click here to order it now.

The Mayfield Deluxe Bundle consists of ten exclusive items unavailable elsewhere – some virtual, some tangible.

1. Signed Limited Edition Pressing of the Mayfield CD. This is the exact same track list as available in digital format and from Amazon – but with slightly different art and in a cardboard sleeve signed by me.

2. Mayfield Download Card from CD Baby. You can use the code on this card to download a digital version of the album for free. Or, you can give the card to a friend. Either way, the download from CD Baby is complimentary.

3. Signed Mayfield Album Flat Just what it says – a signed 12″x12″ reproduction of the Mayfield cover. Printed on thick cover stock and ready to frame.

4. Handwritten lyrics for Trees, signed by me. I’ve written out the lyrics to Trees by hand. It’ll be reproduced for you on lovely Classic Crest letter paper, embossed with my seal at the bottom and each copy signed by yours truly.

5. A personal recorded thank-you message from me. That’s right, I’ll record a private message for you on SoundCloud. I’ll even answer a question, if you have one. If there’s something you’re dying to know, ask away when you place your order. (Please be sensible – as you know I am fiercely protective of my family and friends.) I’ll send a link to the private SoundCloud file for you to listen, and of course you can download and repost it if you’d care to. Here’s an example:

6. A signed reprint of a drawing of me by artist Erin Galbraith. Erin created this pencil drawing, based on a photo of me by Justine Ungaro, exclusively for this package. It’s printed on high quality 8.5×11″ photo paper and – you guessed it – signed by me. (Thank you, Erin!)

7. Mayfield Laminate. A double-sided backstage pass-style laminate with the album art on one side, and VIK (Very Important KOOK!) on the other. Lanyard included.

8. Curt Smith Custom Skittles Five mini-packs of my tour candy of choice (I’m being perfectly serious), with my signature printed on one side. Sadly these custom packs weren’t available in Sour flavor – my true favorite – but these are amusing and delicious nonetheless.

9. Mayfield Wristband Wear your Mayfield pride on your sleeve – or your wrist, as it were – with this custom silicone wristband. It’s yellow, of course, and reads MAYFIELD in white on one side, and CURT SMITH on the other.

10. A Mayfield Cinch Backpack It measures 17″ x 20″, and has a handle at the top so you can use it as a tote, if you prefer. Because how else are you going to carry around all these goodies?

If sold separately, the items in this Bundle would retail for nearly $300. But I’m selling the Bundle for $100, (plus shipping and handling). And it’s only available directly from me. Before you ask: none of the items are available for individual sale at this time.

Click here to order the Mayfield Deluxe Bundle via PayPal. Please be aware that shipments to addresses outside the U.S. can take up to six weeks.

Since You’ve Read This Far…

The first 100 sets ordered will get a bonus item of a vintage Mayfield souvenir: a signed photo, promo postcard, or t-shirt. (I will pick for you.)

Thank you for your enduring support. I’m busy in the studio and look forward to sharing some new music and a new video with you early in the New Year!

Where To Buy Mayfield

Mayfield was officially re-released on November 15, 2011!  Click here to listen and see the lyrics. And here’s how to buy it, should you be so inclined. :)

Digital

Mayfield is available in digital format from all major online retailers. (If you don’t see a direct link to your country’s iTunes below, please search for the album in your iTunes store.)

Amazon US | Amazon UK | iTunes US | iTunes Canada |  iTunes France |  iTunes Germany |  iTunes Italy | iTunes Netherlands | iTunes Spain | iTunes UK | CD Baby | Bandcamp

A downloadable version of the Mayfield CD Booklet is on my website.

Physical CD

I understand that despite the delights of the digital music revolution, many people still prefer to own an actual CD. If you fall into that category, you’ll have a few options:

  1. Amazon.com is selling a print- on-demand version of the CD. This is the only retailer that will have the CD for sale. Unfortunately, it’s only available from Amazon’s US store. (So – if you can’t buy from the US store – find a friend who can and will mail it to you.)
  2. The Mayfield Deluxe Bundle will have a CD – same tracks, different packaging. The Deluxe Bundle version will have a cardboard sleeve; the Amazon version will come in a jewel box. The Deluxe Bundle should be available by the end of November and I’ll share details about it very soon.

Streaming

If you just want to listen, be my guest. All the tracks stream here on my website, as well as on SoundCloud and Bandcamp. You can easily share and embed the streams, and I encourage you do to do!

The Bonus Track

Mayfield contains a bonus track of Trees, featuring Janice Whaley, which wasn’t on the original version. If you already own the CD and just want the bonus track, no worries. It (along with all the other songs) is available as a single track download from all the digital retailers mentioned above.

A few thoughts

I recorded a bit of commentary about the re-release, which you can listen to Mayfield Re-release Commentary by curtsmith

 

Thanks, as always, for your support and enthusiasm!
