2011 Plans

Current plans for 2011 include the following...

E=mc22
Blue Sabbath Black Cheer LP+7"+CD set (both 1-sided)
Almost done.
Gonna be a beaut...

E=mc24
Taming The Outback "1986-1989" CD.
This long-in-the-making project is almost done. I had some problems with the 24-page booklet (currently being re-printed) but it all looks and sounds great! Comes in a super-thick Stoughton-style gatefold sleeve, a 2-sided mini-poster plus the aforementioned booklet. Initial copies will also come with a great sticker.
There is also going to 75-copy 7" by 7" embossed box-set version featuring 4 badges (buttons), a copy of the band's only 7" and other goodies.

E=mc25
Bad Losers
Plan to press 100-copies of this LP with proper printed labels, booklet and stuff...

E=mc27
Troum "SAIWS" pic disc 7"
We HOPE to have this in a liquid-filled (gel) sleeve. We'll see. Planning to make about 150 of these - all depends on how the sleeve comes along 9and costs!)

E=mc28 ... ????
Right now no plans ... we'll see.
The "music biz" is in a parlous state right now.
Many of my favourite record shops have shut and life is tough for many many artists and labels. We'll persevere though ...
Cheers and happy 2011

Pepe Wismeer LP now finally out.

At last ...
this long-in-the-making LP is complete and available and with 100 copies in total it'll surely make the Xmas #1 in the hot top pop charts...
Seriously - it looks great.
Beta-lactam Ring have copies and Forced Exposure should be getting some copies soon.
The band have some as well.
While the records arrived in August - getting the sleeves and inserts together correctly took much longer than expected.
Comes with a 2-sided card insert, an 8-page stapled booklet and another insert explaining the rather unusual pressing process used to make the record (which cannot be re-pressed!).

I'll be on holiday from 24th Dec to mid-January 2011 - so any orders placed in this period will not be shipped until I get back to EQ-Towers.
Cheers
