PLANNED & EXECUTED (mini lp)
After a couple of years of silence due to personal tribulations, BLADE returned with this EP. Lyrically he dealt with a lot more personal issues than he had ever done before, but continued to sell this via the same methods as he had done for previous projects, only this time he also had distribution for Europe through a company called "We Bite", based in Germany . This presented Blade with problems yet again. The orders came flying in, the records and cds had to be re-pressed due to demand, but the distributor played crooked and made no effort to pay for the records they had sold. This left BLADE disillusioned, broke, in serious debt and ultimately sent him into depression mode.
Another 2 years silence followed .. With only a limited edition release of "SURVIVAL OF THE HARDEST WORKING" for fans who had requested it., along with an accapella of "LET'S BEGIN".
If anybody should have the misfortune of getting into any business dealings with these guys, just remember to have your lawyers ready.
Formats available: standard vinyl & also a limited edition red vinyl
