We're playing in Connecticut next month actually. I need to find out the details from our singer but its the 26th in New Britain with Axis from Florida. Hopefully that's semi near where you're from?

Choices choices choices! I'm personally a fan of the red. Thanks for all the kind words about the packaging, hope those of you who are going to check out the tunes later dig the record!

My band, Spirits ( http://www.spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com ) released our debut LP back in May and I've been meaning to post a collection of pics showing off the packaging we designed to go with the record. If you've got a second to scroll please give it a look as we're pretty happy with how everything turned out! This is how the LP looks when you first see it/pick it up. In the poly bag its actually kind of difficult to tell that it has a vertical wrap and just looks like a standard white cover with the pencil drawing and the bands name on it. As you slide the vertical wrap off of the LP it reveals the record's title: Discontent. Also the next layer below the skin from our sad looking gal on the front cover. Next you pull the LP jacket apart diagonally to reveal below the muscle layer... the skull. It is a printed dust-sleeve that houses the actual LP. We really wanted to make something with multiple layers in the artwork and are super happy with how this turned out. I don't know if I've ever seen packaging with this cut in it. We printed the jackets through Imprint and they were super cool with helping us figure out how to make this cut and with adding the extra tab on the traditional jacket so that all 4 sides of it would be sealed until the cut was made. When you flip over the dust jacket it reveals a wall of lyrics and the credits for the album. This is the back of the LP jacket that pulls apart diagonally. Song titles that are not visible when the wrap is fully on the LP. The two main variants of vinyl are clear with black smoke and clear with red smoke. They turned out really cool and each one is pretty unique. The red LP in the top corner of this picture is the only copy that ended up being a pretty solid clear red throughout so naturally I had to hold onto it. This gives a pretty good representation of the variation of the clear vinyl with color smoke added in. Bonus fact... the center labels are 3 dimensional if you look at them with 3D glasses. If you'd like to pick up a copy we have them in our limited run store here: http://www.spiritsxxx.limitedrun.com and you can also download the record for free here: http://www.spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com http://www.spiritshc.com if you'd like to keep up to date with anything we have going on! And last but not least, you can follow us on social media as "spiritsxboston" on instagram, tumblr, twitter, and such! Thanks for checking out the end result of our collective work as a band since the beginning of the year!

Okay cool... i figured as much. Still wish I could find a way to get those 5 BR colored LP's for less than $23 a piece... oof!

Does vinyl get taken down from online during Hot Cash now or what? I was looking at some records less than a week ago and now am getting 0 search results for most anything music/vinyl related on the website...

It's Tuesday and we just got another foot of snow. What fun!

Bump for Friday night. We started recording our debut LP last weekend.

Sunday Sunday Sunday!

Bump for a new song to listen to!

Hey everyone here at VC! You can now pre-order SPIRITS debut 7" from Coin Toss Records and hear the second track from it over at GlueHC.com! We're really amped on finally having this come out so hopefully if you dig the first song you'll feel so inclined to snag a copy here: http://cointossrecords.storenvy.com/ Much like we did with Test of Time, we strive to have interesting and unique artwork to compliment the music on our releases and this 7" is no different. It comes with a 6 panel layout where each panel is a cool/iconic picture from in and around Boston, including old pictures of some family members and such. The whole thing is grey-scaled but the different record editions will each have their own 7"x7" color transparency that will act as the 'front cover' of the artwork. So essentially, for the pre-order version, you'll receive a black vinyl record and the panel will be folded to have the above image (the old Boston Braves stadium after the team left town!) as the front cover. It will then have a transparency with just color ink printed onto it that will colorize the one image. Pretty neat, right? There are three vinyl colors... Black, Clear, and Clear with smoke and at the above link you'll find a link to pick up all three if you're interested as well as just the single pre-order copy. Thanks for checking out the music and feel free to help spread the word if you're into it. We really appreciate it!

It's December!

Today we finished mastering our first EP. Details coming soon... check out the split 7" above in the meantime!

Thursday's are kinda cool, right?

Looking forward to this and I made a topic last night for it! http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/107370-po-get-a-gripspirits-split-7-ex-test-of-timestatic-radio-njdaytrader-speedowax-records/

Thursday morning bump!

Jetty Boys - Sheboygan had a hand screened cover /30 on black vinyl.

Speedowax Records from the UK is releasing this fantastic split 7" between Vermont's GET A GRIP ( http://getagripvt.bandcamp.com/) and Boston's SPIRITS ( http://spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com/album/get-a-grip-split ) and you can pre-order it now: http://constantrotation.bigcartel.com/product/get-a-grip-spirits-split-7-color-vinyl-e-p-preorder Presented in a Laminated thick pocket sleeve with a separate full color lyric insert and on two vinyl color choices of "skittles" and "honey", each limited to 125 records each! This is Speedowax's 100th release so it marks a milestone for Rich and his financially ruining hobby. Check it out, download the tunes for free, and please help spread the word! Thanks!

Just shipped these all out before the post office closed. Thanks for giving them a good home! I still have copies of the self titled 7" as well if anyone is interested. Word!

Definitely! Only two copies of the demo left now! Both on Black vinyl... gonna get these shipped out today hopefully to all of you! Thanks again!

I pretty much have no idea what they have going on. Before I left the band we were like 85% finished with recording our first LP. That was in January of 2012. I think they re-recorded it at some point since then but I have no idea. Thanks for snagging some of these records! Definitely helps free up some space haha! Also, one of my new bands will *hopefully* have our demo up online in the next month or two. It's along the same lines as the chux' stuff so I'll be sure to let you all know when that happens!

Only two copies left as of 12:50pm today. Thanks for snagging some of these and giving them good homes! I was just cleaning out some stuff in my room and found 7 copies of The Haverchucks demo in a box with some of the self-titled 7"s I had. 4 on black, 3 on white vinyl. Only 100 ever pressed (50 of each color) and it's been out of print for a while now. I just threw them up in the store so if you want one, now's your chance! http://thehaverchucks.limitedrun.com/ And for those of you who haven't heard any tunes you can check it all out (for free!) here: http://haverchucks.bandcamp.com Thanks!
