Ginger Baker launches a Pledge campaign to fund the release of a double-disc anthology

---

Ginger Baker has launched a campaign on pledgemusic.com to fund the release of a career-spanning double-disc anthology and an exclusive photo book. The Cream icon and his family aim to mark his 75th birthday this year with the launch of A Drummer's Tale, with pledge points starting at £8 and running up to £95; participants are offered signed books, drumsticks and VIP access to a London concert.

Baker says on his 'PledgeMusic' page: "Stand by your beds everyone! It's been over thirty years since the RSO launched The Best of Ginger Baker anthology - without consulting me about the content! This time I'm in charge, with no label. I'm ready to release A Drummer's Tale and there will also be a book full of very rare, family-owned photos and memorabilia. With PledgeMusic the plan is to give you something very exclusive. I know you'll enjoy it. Thanks for your support throughout the years - and remember: 'Don't cheer, throw money!' "

Details of Baker's 75th birthday concert will be announced in due course, along with details of a run of exclusive drum clinics.

Up to now the PledgeMusic campaign has reached 13% of its goal with 96 days to run. Visit the page by clicking here and help Ginger do the deed!
