Aled's music - in reply to the blog of USA member - David - 'smallvillenyc'
Quote (from the blog reply of 22 Oct):
"Music Songs Listed in-correctly
I first discovered Aled on Pandora while Listening to Christmas Music, and I soon realized I wanted more!
So on the site it showed the song, album etc, and to purchase etc. I think it brought me to Amazon,(it was some time ago) ,but either way I am back again looking for this Album called "The Christmas Album" where he's standing in front of Candles. But as I scroll down the songs listed I played for samples and I was like, this can't be right?
Sure enough the songs are from when he was a young boy. Anyhow I am not even sure how to contact Amazon about this? Maybe you guys might have a better handle on that situation.
So now one year on I did discover today while listening to another song sang by Celtic Women, "Walking in the Air" and as I browsed around I discovered Aled sang this song many moons ago and was a huge hit.
So needless to say I ordered 2 Christmas Albums, (Amazon still has incorrect songs listed for the one mentioned above), And I just hope I get the correct one! :)
I can't wait to Listen to Both Albums(one of them was an Mp3 Download so I can listen immediately. Christmas is still a little while away yet, so maybe I will wait just a little bit longer. :)
Keep up the Good work Aled, I learned so much today about you and hope one day you might be NY for a visit.

Hi David,
A very warm welcome to Aled's Forum! It's wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying Aled's breathtaking voice as well as those tuned in, in the US by way of the ‘Pandora’ site - although unfortunately, that online radio site isn't available outside the USA. I'm in Australia, and there are many, many more fans around the world as well as the many thousands in the UK
.
After reading your post, and accessing which of Aled's Christmas Album you were referring to, as well as looking at the Amazon US site, I understand what you mean with the anomaly of the trackllisting.
Amazon US has definitely posted the tracklisting of one of Aled's sixteen treble albums, and not the album you initially thought it was.

The tracklisting is of course from:
Aled’s 1985 "Christmas Album with the BBC Welsh Chorus”....
http://www.aledjones.co.uk/node/35
......although the CD’s cover picture of Aled with the candles is of “Aled Jones, The Christmas Album” , his stunning first Christmas album of his adult baritone voice which was released in 2004.
http://www.aledjones.co.uk/node/59 which includes the track-listing.
My guess is that you’ll receive Aled's baritone album – I expect Amazon will select it by the picture and not by the (incorrect for that album) tracklisting, considering too that the complete range of Aled’s treble CDs is fairly rare these days.

You could try contacting Amazon.com in the USA via your "My Account" prompt found on the menu bar....or at the "Help" section.
The tracklisting for Aled’s baritone CD, “The Christmas Album” can also be found on Amazon UK, plus there's a great range of Aled's music available:
Aled has released 29 albums in his exceptionally wonderful career since he began recording in 1983, many of which can be bought on Amazon UK.
If you would like to discover loads more about Aled and his unique life, I can recommend both Aled’s childhood biography,”Walking On Air” published in 1986.....
...and his book “The Autobiography” published in 2005....
Have a lovely browse through the “Multimedia” section here on Aled’s website, where there's the extensive listing of Aled’s extraordinary working life.
In my opinion (and I know I’m not alone in this view), Aled is the most gifted, dedicated, unpretentious and incredibly warm and charismatic entertainer in the business, and you'll be fascinated by the broad range of his talents.
Enjoy too, many fabulous journeys through all the music clips of Aled on Youtube....and please help spread the enjoyment of ‘all-things-Aled’ to your family and friends in the USA.
The more the music fans in the States discover Aled’s exceptionally superb voice, the sooner he may consider embarking on concert tours of the USA!
Aled has been to Australia six times since 2003, four of those times in extensive, amazing concert tours!
Please continue to post and join in discussions – and feel free to ask any questions you may have– there's a wealth of knowledge about Aled amongst the members, in particular in Aled’s long-term fans. We’re only too happy to share the joy Aled gives his millions of fans.

Thank you so much for writing back.
I did contact Amazon more than once by e-mail, but had to resort to using the phone!! I hope they finally got the message. I am surprised no one else has complained? I am assuming he is not selling too many albums or the mix up has stoipped people from buying, and many people won't bother to complain. I really don't normally either but I felt it was an injustice to fans new and old.I really wanted one album but was getting another? So I had to order from ebay, I actually never thought of Amazon.co.uk!! I must check it out.
Yes I think Aled is pretty much unknown out here ? But maybe with Pandora playing his xmas songs here and there, you get 1 every so often in playing Christams Music.. Thats how I found out about him, so if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone!
But I must share..Facebook here I come... :)
Yes he really does have an amazing voice and multi Talented..I will so much enjoy his Holiday Music this coming Christmas.
Take Care
Chat Soon

Hi David,
I'm Magda from Poland. Due to my place of living I often benefit from online shopping, too. If you're not happy with Amazon for any reason you may try hmv.co.uk online shop. I've bought many things from them and always been served professionally and quickly. Not a single reason to complain. My latest purchase - Aled's "Forever" :-)
I use Amazon to download free e-books only ;-)

I will have to take a Look :)
But I am not sure I can download from Websites out of America? I wasn't able to on Amazon for 1 Album. Not sure if it would be all of them?
Thanks for writing
Aled's Music and voice is now in my life more and more each day.

Hi again David,
Amazon.co.uk is a treasure trove of Aled's music, isn't it??!! 
Now that you've found his earlier beautiful Christmas music, with Christmas very quickly approaching, I can highly recommend that you also add "Aled's Christmas Gift" to your shopping list, (and several more copies of the CD for gift giving?)
http://www.aledjones.co.uk/node/8 (You'll find three samples of tracks at this link)
I'm a passionate Aled fan so I know I'm rather biased, but regardless of my bias, I truly believe you won't find more beautiful Christmas albums than his. His song choices are superb and his rich velvety voice, absolutely divine. It's so heartwarming to have both the music and a stunningly perfect voice that capture the essence of Christmas.
Amazon.co.uk also has a sample of all of the tracks on the album, plus a 3.57 minute video of Aled singing a selection of excerpts. I love each and every song on the album, but if "Mary Did You Know" doesn't make you melt...... 
Yep, Aled really is breathtaking!
Have fun spreading the word David....as I'm sure you've now found, once you've heard Aled's voice, your concept of how beautiful a voice can be will have changed forever.
Enjoy!!
I look forward to chatting again soon.

I was not successful in downloading muisc from Amazon.co.uk but was able to listen top Samples.
I already have Aled's Christmas Gift, and yes "Mary Did You know" is Amazing, I even had to Purchase new Portable Headphones "Bose on ear-Amazing" to appreciate the full sound. The cheap ones did not do Aled any Justice. :)
Enjoying more and more,,next goal maybe a Concert! But I think I would have to travel to England first .. :) Which I don't mind, I love England also.

hi david
i absolutely agree with what susi and suvi have said, and i would also like to add that his voice is stunning live, as i have seen him live in concert twice, and got to meet him on the first concert i went to see, which was in st albans, and got to experience his warmth and gentle nature, even though i was extremely nervous at the time, but hey, i won't annoy everyone with the details, as everyone has read what i said about the experience before

I would love to see Aled Live, but I don't think he does too many concerts in America :(
I think he's not very well known here? Not really sure. But I think sooner or later he will be more known as his voice is incredible, and surely that speaks for itself.
Radio stations here do tend to play the same stuff over and over, and rarely hear other songs,New and not so New Artists (New to our Ears) that might be quite good, such as Aled.
I am still surprised he was on Pandora, since I have never heard him on the Radio?
I think I will e-mail our radio Stations here and demand some Christams songs by Aled, it would be a crime (Should be also) to not play him over the Holidays. :)
