moonbeams

I like punk. I like instrumental.
I started an instrumental label, more punk than post-rock.

 

The goal now is to put out 7 inches, any band can do, but the rule is no vocals.

So if you have an instrumental band, please get in touch.

The label is still in the red from the first release, but we're almost clear.

I got the ball rolling with Deeper Blue, which does dreamy surf-punk noir from Tokyo.
check it here: https://deeperblue.bandcamp.com/album/night-rain

Due to some strange circumstances, we ended up with 2 pressings:

The first, 170 purple and 30 black pressed in Europe with DMM cutting:

(only 1 copy of black left in stock!)

The second, 200 pressed here in Japan with lacquer cutting:

The record was reviewed here:

Here's the art for the next release. I'm just excited to share it:

I tried to join and it was sold out. 🤭

Posting in a moonbeams thread...

Yeah, good stuff. Nice job!

 

haha, I did make the worst threads back in the day.

 

Dave, Something, PM me your addresses and I'll send out promo copies on purple vinyl when mail resumes to USA.

Gave it a listen. Really interesting surfy, atmospheric, punky instrumental music. I dig it. Well done. 

Thanks so much! It's a two-man band, with me on strings and the drummer on drums. We started learning how to play in 93 and at the time Dave Grohl was the drummer's hero.

Thanks for looking.
It's instrumental.
My label is strictly instrumental; if you have an instrumental project, please stay in touch. 

 

There are two pressings:

Japan press - superior quality - ships Aug 13

200 black vinyl, 1st 30 in silkscreen print sleeves (4 left).

 

Europe press-

170 purple (169 received and 100 copies too warped to distribute).

30 black

These arrived warped and the cut is bad. I went through 2 cuttings and gave up with this plant.

So the records are given away for free with orders of the Japan press above. Black comes with silkscreen.
About 4 of each left.

But also there's a hand-painted jacket version, also 4 left at the time of this post.

 

Due to pandemic, Japan Post has temporarily suspended acceptance of mail to USA, Brazil and Russia...

Purple (8 left, 4 in hand colored sleeves)

 

Here is Japan press mock up

Never heard of it, thanks!

Hi VC long time no see.

I need to know (for an upcoming book I've written: On Earth As It Is In Hell),

are the center holes of stampers fitted with some lock,

that if you remove a stamper from a press, and then put it back in, would it be at the very same degree of rotation to which it was in the first time?

For example, if you press 100 records with a set of stampers, take them out, then put them back in for a second press, would the alignment between a-side and b-side be the same in the second press as in the first press, or would be a random degree of alignment?

 

I've been looking at photos of stampers and haven't seen anything that locks them in place.

 

But here there is clearly a lock made in the formation process:

And then here's a crimping machine:

Thanks,

Michael

I run this web shop:

http://www.goodcyte.com/records/25-indies?live_configurator_token=fc923e113dcbe4a1883e3c5078b08c50&id_shop=1&id_employee=1&theme=&theme_font=

I want to take down the "Indies" section and eventually all the non-Misfits/Danzig related punk, and just have it be a Fiend Market for my website www.fiendcollectors.com

The shipping on the shop is set up to use EMS, which takes about 2-3 days, but is pricey (starts at $20 for North America and $22 for Europe).

But there are cheaper options, they just don't have tracking. I can send a 7" for $3 and an LP for $5.

So if you want anything from this shop, let me know. 

Here's a coupon code for 10% off: ZCH6I8M7

If you think something is overpriced in the Indies section, let me know.

Finally, a lot of these items are priced $1 or $2.  So I ask for a $15 minimum order. Takes me 20 minutes to walk to the post office and I got a chronic pain disease (posthereptic neurologica). Thanks for looking.

Check out Instragram for coupon codes:

Also, I do fiendcollectors.com and have set up a Fiend Market. Join my site and you'll get a special discount code.

http://www.goodcyte.com/records/

It's brand new. Prices range from $1 for the obscure to $1400 for the hard to find.

They'll be adding new stuff all the time. I'm working with them for Misfits-related stuff, so there's that section.

Check their instagram for discount codes:

probably not, but they should, anyone who enjoys Op Iv needs to check this band out.

Cometbus and FIFTEEN had the biggest influence on me growing up in the 90s.

Does the new VC generation know of Crimpshrine?

I I'll gladly take an affordable pressing of Famous Monsters.

They don't exist anymore.
I've recently sold picture discs for $100 and unplayed colored vinyl for $180.

I do have a VG+ picture disc that I will let go for $75.

$6 shipping? Are these shipping from Japan or the US?

They are printed and shipped from SWEDEN.

We thought it best that the graphics artist handles the printing locally so it looks how he wants it.

 

We printed 250 copies, put 230 in the online shop, and are down to 27 as of right now.
The remainder will be sold in local shops in Sweden.

Thanks for all the support! It's only been about 10 hours and we're almost sold out.

I've avoided buying the current Earth A.D. press because of the artwork misprint. Thought this was going to be a repress too. 

Oh, I see what you all mean. I meant there's going to be a BOOK series on the Misfits VINYL discography. Sorry for the confusion. I'll edit the post.

Check out this website:

what Misfits record isn't in print currently? (7" aside that are collected on compilations in print) Thanks for posting this, very cool

Most are in press, but the current pressings aren't very good.

In press:

1. Walk Among Us - Rhino - horrible mastering, get 1988 copy (green logo)

2. Earth AD - Caroline - master tapes lost, no remaster, not the best sound

3. Die Die My Darling - Caroline - B-side remastered

4. Legacy of Brutality - Caroline - remastered

5. Evilive - Caroline - remastered

6.  Collection I - remastered

7. Collection II - remastered?

8. Static Age - remastered?

Out of press:

Beware

Never pressed:

12 Hits From Hell

 

As for 7", Bullet, Horror Business, and Halloween are on the two Collection LPs.

Cough/Cool, Night of the Living Dead, and Who Killed Marilyn were never collected on vinyl.

3 Hits From Hell was remixed, so you can't get the original sound on the Collection LPs.

Was hoping for all misfits represses.

Not pictures of all the vinyl

Each issue will focus on a certain part of the discography. There will be 35 versions of Earth AD in the book.
