Our second release has been on sale for a few days now. All the box sets are sold out. We still have a few variants left as well as a bunch of regular copies. www.flippinrecords.blogspot.com Official Release Info: Flippin Records is excited to announce our second single featuring "Fever" by The Nimbus of Austin Texas! We are offering 3 different variations of this release, Transparent Blue (limited to 200), Blue/White Marble (limited to 75), and Transparent Blue with White Splatter (limited to 35). To top it off, The Nimbus hand signed 42 art prints that will be inserted into random orders! Every copy of FLIP002 will come with a digital download code for the single. We also assembled a limited edition of 13 very special box sets for those completists out there! Each completist set will come in its very own “Analog Cloud Storage System” (hand painted, numbered and designed by Martin McCreadie of The Nimbus). The set will include all 3 variations of the release as well as a Test Pressing, Marbled Promo, Signed Art Print, and an Original Multimedia Art Collage hand made by Martin McCreadie which is exclusive to the completist set! As an added bonus, all completist sets will ship with an extra Transparent Blue copy so you don’t have to break the seals inside the book, unless you really want to! "The Nimbus’ own take on electronics drenched rock music is stylistically, in turn, steeped in the 80s new wave and gothic styles, with clear dramatic vocals over layers and layers of melancholy electronics, heavy thudding beats and droning guitars." - The Deli Magazine, Austin

Test pressings are in for the second release and sound great! We thought this would be a good time to dig up the last few remaining items from the first release and hold a contest in order to make room for the second release. This is the last copy for most of these items, so this could be your last chance to grab these, before they are gone for good. Check out the contest over on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/flippinrecords

We are now on Twitter @FlippinRecords. We just ran a contest over there and will be doing another shortly, once our second release is back from the presses. Follow us on Twitter for info on that as well as release information and future contests. Lastly, we also have updated our logo. Head on over to facebook or Twitter to check it out and let us know what you think. www.facebook.com/flippinrecords www.twitter.com/flippinrecords

For Black Friday weekend, we will have standard copies of FLIP001 on sale as well as a couple of bundle deals. Now is a good chance to get a head start on Christmas shopping for that fellow vinyl addict in your life! Follow this link for the sale: http://flippinrecords.blogspot.com/p/black-friday.html

Yeah, the variants and box sets sold pretty quick once the sale went up. Thanks to those who bought!

Yes, they are for the different time zones. Because Jonny Halifax is a UK band, we wanted to make it easier for the UK fans to get some copies as well.

We are not stocking the full album. That is available just through the band website: http://www.thehowlingtruth.com/

Flippin Records is very excited to announce our very first release, featuring Jonny Halifax & The Howling Truth. Birmingham-born Jonny Halifax and musical pard Marvin conjure an unholy brew of Suicide, Captain Beefheart and sonic drone on the first track of this single,"Fever Rising", which is taken from their monolithic 13-track album on Greasy Noise, "The Bestial Floor".The B-side to this single includes the previously unreleased instrumental track "The Sloth", making its debut on Flippin Records. Standard versions of the single will be available in limited quantities in both the US and UK. Variants will also be available on random bong colored vinyl while supplies last. All artwork for the album has been custom designed by the band. See http://www.flippinrecords.blogspot.comfor full details, as well as other custom designed merchandise from the band. Sale times will begin at: 3pm CST on Friday November 14, 2014. and 4am CST on Saturday November 15, 2014.

Plans right now are only for 7" releases. This slip mat is also specific to this release and designed by the signer of the band. It will be sold seperately as well as in the 7" box set, so a 12" mat didn't make sense at this point. There will be 12" mats later on..

Thanks! We are not so much trying to flaunt how collectable things are. The numbers of each release weren't there to try and make everything seem super rare, I just like knowing how many of each there is when I buy something. I appreciate the kind words. We are more trying to get the word out there of our label right now. I don't want to drop a release in a week or so and only have 10 people who know about the label. I am hoping to spread the word now in order to help with hits once the sale does drop. Good to hear things are going well for you now. We just got a bunch of records from the pressing plant, so look for a sale very soon. We are giving away a few copies right now....

There have been test pressings sold (and still on sale) as well as some promo copies given away. Ben's site has a link to the band on the release......and so does google The standard records should be on sale in a week or two when they are in from the pressing plant.

Haha, well the name is not meant to mean flippin in that context, but I can see your point there.. I am not one to support the "flipping" of records in the context of people buying just to resell at higher prices on the secondary market, but I have beaten a dead horse too many times on that issue. As far as the logo, it is meant to look similar to the arm inside a jukebox that controls the movement of records once one is chosen... ps: thanks for the "welcome hazing".. haha
