Hypnotists in Paris (featuring The Section Quartet), Cold Dark Night (Sam’s take on the holiday album), Magic For Everybody (subsequently released to the general public) and Old Tin Pan (a collection of outtakes from the Don’t Do Anything 2005 sessions plus some new songs) have all gone out to Long Play subscribers since October 2009.

Sam is hard at work on the final EP, coming this summer, and the full-length album scheduled for a fall 2010 release.
