    Totorro (and friends) are releasing a soundtrack!

    When half of Totorro invites a friend, Pierre Marolleau, to compose music to create a concert comic on Fabcaro's work "And if love was to love", it gives first a great show, then a delicious disc! An original soundtrack that you can enjoy on this vinyl in necessarily very limited quantities, in a cute gatefold, the vinyl being wrapped in a rough kraft cover like an overdrive. The official release date is November 18, 2022. By pre-ordering it, you will get it a little earlier.

    Awesome Merch/Distro Bankruptcy Affecting Labels & Their Orders (Most Notably Topshelf Recs)

    in Vinyl Collective Message Board

    Wait what https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2022/09/01/awesome-merchandise-bankrupt-investors-lose/ and https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/investors-to-lose-ps650000-as-leeds-firm-awesome-merchandise-goes-into-controversial-administration-3821577

    A lot to take in here, so let me try and synopsise: Luke (owner) wanted to rid of CrowdCube investors due to moaning they were not seeing any ample return on investment (typical) because he was reinvesting the money back into the company (growth, USA warehouse etc). He's dissolved the company, bought it back with investment from family loans, and - what I am hoping for - he will port all of awesome distro's stuff over to the new company and continute operations as usual.

    What's NOT cool is, this is all in limbo, all the staff layoffs in the USA are not mentioned in this and there's no assurance he's going to maintain the Austin warehouse.  ALso this

    There was no response when The Yorkshire Post attempted to contact the offices of Awesome Merchandise

     

    This all screams dodgy business dealings and I would still poke some money into the Topshelf/No Sleep fundraiser as I still belive this company is about to collapse… very slowly.

    FUCKING HELL. I think the worst part of this situation is that the liquidation of stock includes every labels/artists/small businesses materials being hosted there here and US, proper pikey cunt shite thing to do to everyone and so selfish.

    I would also steer clear of the original company, Awesome Merch, unless that's folded, but that should also fold now because people need to stop using all related companies to these cretins.

    @MCDELTATreally REALLY hope it's NOT on its way to the warehouse and it's going to the label first. Fuck, man, the logistics of this one. I'm fed up of enjoying this record on myself. It's lonely.

    Oh yeah, I'm not fussed about the final thing looking like a mock up, especially when it comes out this awesome. That subtle a/b variation is just a nice (probably not intended) touch. Also, so glad it doesn't sound like it's running over gravel like a lot of splatters; Whole LP is clean and sounds great and that bass is niiiiicceee for a single LP too, so punchy.

    Thanks for the heads up on this, I was lookint at one of these for ages but didn't know how legit they were, which one I should use or how much tax I would be stung with once landed here, so thanks for the spreadsheet cost breakdown. Going to set up one.

    It's annoying because my purchases from the states are always so spread about so will need to plan it out before going in on this.

    HHV and JPC don't seem to list Dimensional Bleed yet.

    Might need to wait it out, and check distros on Amazon and eBay too (nearer the time of release, usually stuff gets listed then). If you get stuck, give me a shout and I'll post it over. The only issue with posting from here (UK) to EU is including a customs form on the outside, and if you mess that up the whole thing gets caught in customs for a month.
