  1. Hi All, Chris from Hot Wax, just wanted to drop a quick update here for you guys. I've dispatched all UK orders for just Milk and Honey, this was mainly just to be productive whilst waiting on the boxes with the added bonus of getting some out very early. I have spent what feels like an eternity assembling the boxes and bagging the LP & Extras in two seperate resealable poly bags, this was an additional step I added but I think its going to be worthwhile. All of the LP's came from the plant in the sleeves too so I wanted to take them out and secure them in a poly behind the sleeve to ensure safe transport to everyone. I hand numbered and re packaged them all over the weekend so I can get them to the distributer this week and from there all remaining orders will be heading out - All of the remaining Milk & Honey orders will also be going to the distributer and I fully expect all will be shipped by the end of the month - In line with the initil estimate. You will all get a notification via your chosen method email/text when your order is dispatched, thanks for all the patience I can't wait to see these puppies landing worldwide. :-)
  2. Guys just message 12Vinyl directly if you want a liquid filled, they charge waaay less than that to make them - I looked at doing it for hot wax at the start but for all the lack of quality and things that can go wrong, not to mention the £150 cost per record decided not to pursue it. They also couldn't fit the whole album onto one LP when I asked (15 mins per side) so if anyone has it will be compressed to death :-/ Edit* Actually remembered a couple of bits wrong it was $150 / £110 per LP and a minimum order of 20-30 however no discount for ordering bulk so no savings to be made - would have to be a double not to sound awful so I couldn't justify taking it any further when I was looking into it, here's the correspondence I had directly with them: "Hi Chris Thanks for your inquiry Each of our liquid filled records is made individually. Our records are not pressed, they are individually cut ( one by one ) First we cut the music onto 2 clear records, recording time is max. 15 minutes per side ( for a 12" ). These 2 records will then be hand sealed together with a special silicone. The filling hole for the liquid is near the center and will not be seen later as it sits under the center label. At the moment we produce 12" ,10" and 7" single color liquid filled records. We guaranty that our liquid will not evaporate or leak over time. Other forms of liquids are possible ( Beer, spirits, water based liquids ) but we can not guaranty that they won t evaporate over time. Colors available are yellow, red, blue, purple, black and green. We have done liquids with floating parts like glitter or skulls in the past. The sealant around the edge can be clear or black. There is a lot of manual labor and time involved, that is why we only do runs of up to 20- 30 copies. There is no minimum order , if you want one , we do one . Price is 150 US $ / 130 Euro / 110 £ per 12" record and 50 £ for 7" ( mainly due to the labor and manufacturing time involved ) The price includes the mastering of the music and cutting the record. All records will be delivered in a clear PVC ( Picture disc ) sleeves. You should hold the copyright for the music or permission of the artist. As a music source we prefer CD, or the tracks can be emailed to us via wetransfer or similar. We are based in the UK and ship worldwide. Thanks Ralf 12vinyl.com"
  3. I guess thats what makes them such a great band, that huge diversity within their own work. I think Poly and FMB are almost inseparable as my favourite two of this years material. MOTU for me, is possibly my least favourite of all of their releases, It has great parts but doesn't add up to a great collective for me. The sound engineer has also just revealed he thinks album #5 is probably the best this year haha! Can't imagine it will be long before we find out
  4. I can Confirm Just the 4 left to hit our 250 minimum order to run so it's looking very promising. The box set has had some amazing backing since we released the latest design updates and mock ups too. Just 97 of those left now :-) If they manage to sell through, we will also have 250 CD's to pop up on the site as a standalone, which will most likely go up as a £9.95 price point inclusive of worldwide shipping. Really exciting project all in all :-)
