Wow, very cool to hear a song not released yet. Thanks for posting.

OMG I love it. Thank you sooooo much!

I just wonder how many more little out takes he has like that? That song sounds beautiful and i'm listening above a TV presenter for 30 seconds!!

Hope the CD is available in the UK or mp3 is available...

ok, so it's October, wonder when the Buttery CD will be released? I'm hanging out for the full version of Guiding Star.....

aha, just found this
link to the Buttery Project, looks like the release should be imminent.

Theres another mention elsewhere on their website, with a picture of Neil and Jimmy Barnes:

The release date given is November 1st.

I'm guessing that this will only ever be available in Australia, so I hope that some of the online stores will have it.

thanks alucidor. Countdown to November 1st is underway! More than happy to help you get your hands on a copy if you like

Thank you Liz It appears the release has been postponed by a week

As I was Googling for any more info I found this:

Jenny Morris, Hit and Myth album - released in 2002 - track 9 is called Guiding Star, written by Neil Finn.... the same song?

Another one that slipped under the radar then - well mine anyway!

may well be, alucidor. He has written for her before. I'm off for some more research.... \\

(and to wait another week)

That Neil is too sneaky!

Doesn't he know he's supposed to tell us everything?

All joking aside, you would think that the man's fan club would be informed of new releases featuring his input (songwriting/vocals/playing etc) so they could alert fans.

Maybe he just prefers to be sneaky It's all part of his evil plot to keep us only semi informed. Muaa ha ha haaa!

I'm sure there are bound to be things here and there that just get forgotten or overlooked or something, and somehow we end up not hearing.

One site for on-line orders

Thanks FG, just placed my order

Just place mine too

I ordered mine directly from the Buttery. There's an order form here. I emailed to enquire about overseas delivery and yes, they're quite willing to do that. I received prompt and friendly replies from them - it's probably more expensive than buying from a music store, but if the money is going to a worthwhile cause, then that's fine by me.

And regarding the Jenny Morris song, if it is the same one then apparently Neil played part of it, by request, at the Metro in Sydney on 12th June 2001. Just found that in the pocket of my anorak

well, I'm afraid US$27 for one song is just out of my financial reach. I'm sure I'll hear it eventually but I may have to wait for some kind soul to trade for it. Or even better, maybe it'll get released as a digital download without country specific purchasing rules (ie not iTunes).

OT, but I was at that gig, how come I don't remember that? Ah, must have been getting old earlier than I thought

But it's not $27 for one song.......it's $27 for a good cause

any legal download available of the song yet?
