“Tales From The Vault” was delivered in two separate downloads for those who pledged. The first delivery was done at the end of August 2015, and consisted of two versions of the track “Earth”.

The liner notes for "Earth" are reproduced below as "Tales From The Vault, Part I", as posted in Allan's name on the Pledge music site. | ||
After this delivery, it took a very long time for the rest of the material to appear. My files are dated July 2016, although I’m not sure about the exact date. Anyway, this second package consisted of 11 mp3 files. Along with this delivery was also a PDF file of liner notes, signed by Allan. These liner notes are reproduced below, as "Tales from The Vault, Part II". The text is exactly as provided, but headlines have been added for clarity. Spelling errors have not been corrected, but are noted in [brackets]. | |||

From Allan about Earth | |||
HELLO everyone. | |||
I am so sorry this took so long, I wont go on with excuses. I really do have a hard time with computer based recording. I am an old geezer used to another world. Anyway I hope you can enjoy the track. The reason I chose to do this first was simply because of the fact that it has been so long since I did a studio recording that I didn’t want to just dig up some older music (which actually may have been just fine). I decided to do an arrangement of Virgil’s tune Earth. | |||
I found it compelling so I re arranged the tune (not the form that remained the same) just a little re harmonization here and there. So there you have it. The other version is very different as you will hear. In fact I think I arranged myself out of it because of all the cheese I put behind the guitar solo first (that I had to play around). | |||
I had already done a previous solo that the computer didn’t like and torched it. Oh well. Don’t be fooled by the short (largely diatonic) solo theres plenty of guitar on the rest of the tunes. I just loved the piece..thats what this was about. | |||
Anyway on to the next tune. I may ditch the computer, still debating… | |||
Thank you all so much for your support, I have no words, Lots of love to you all, Allan. | |||
