Documenting the release of this album is complicated by the fact that PledgeMusic has since gone out of business, and their website has disappeared. The only information that is available openly is what has been archived on The Wayback Machine. A lot of the material posted on the Pledge site required a sign-in, which means this material is not available through the Wayback Machine. A few of these posts have been archived on this site, see below. I will try to piece together a story based on the available facts. | Documenting the release of this album is complicated by the fact that PledgeMusic has since gone out of business, and their website has disappeared.

'''March 2, 2015: Announcement'''. An announcement was made on PledgeMusic, signed by Allan. Here's an excerpt: ''"Just to clarify since there have been some questions as to what people are receiving as the first “downloads”, I originally recorded the basic tracks for two albums’ worth of material over the last 10 years or so with different trios. One with Joel Taylor and Ernest Tibbs (the one and only recorded version of this amazing trio) and the other with one of favorite trios Gary Husband and Jimmy Johnson. All new music.'' | '''March 2, 2015: Announcement'''. An announcement was made on PledgeMusic, signed by Allan. Here's an excerpt: | ||

''Due to record industry changes and some personal stuff I went through, I never completely finished them and so never released them. Some of you may know that the original title for one of these albums was “Snakes and Ladders”. “Snakes and Ladders” in now part of these tracks. None of this music has been fully mixed, edited and mastered until now. Your pledges allow me to finish these tracks, add some new solos, edit/tweak the tracks, mix and master them and then have an outlet that bypasses the traditional way I have released albums over the years.'' | ''Due to record industry changes and some personal stuff I went through, I never completely finished them and so never released them.
