Hey guys - just struck out trying to get Brian Fallon's Georgia 10". I'm sure it's already been requested and I'm low on the list, but if anyone comes across one, let me know.

Bump! Grab this new Nolan stuff before it's gone forever.

Is there any chance at a Cassino test in a random order?

I feel like I SHOULD lie and say there is, but unfortunately not, haha. All of those tests went out in previous promos like this. I don't even have any personal ones!

Hey guys - 

Got a big year planned, so I'm trying to unload some back stock. I just marked down a bunch of stuff in the webstore. We have under 10 copies of the new Nolan stuff left. Less than 10 of the peach variant of The Acoustic Sessions as well.

John Nolan - Sad, Strange, Beautiful Bootleg - now $15

John Nolan for President T-Shirt - now $15

Thanks to Flesh and Bone Design for the artwork!

 

PS - for those who don't know, Tea & Water is Dave from Firework's side project

All gone. Just a handful of bootlegs left online...

 

I'll have a few copies at Starland of both this weekend for TBS' Holiday Pop-Up-Shop. I'm also bringing some odds and ends from old releases (Cassino prints, Nolan posters, etc), some signed stuff, and every release I still have in stock. If you're in the NJ area, come by!

Gotta love VC, ask for a favor, get it covered within an hour.

Hey guys,

I'm putting together Call To Arms Volume 2. I thought I had the artwork all lined up but it fell through. It's a great tracklist with bunch of musicians this board is big on.

 

Any designers out there want to help me put this together? I'm thinking something very simple, with my logos etc. It's a charity compilation, with 100% going to Feeding America. So, this work would be considered a donation.
 

Anyway, if you want to help out let me know and I'll get you more details. 

 

Thanks! 

Mike

 

Call To Arms 2 coming before the New Year!

So, it looks like I ordered two copies of this from Polyvinyl by accident. If anyone wants a copy let me know. Not even sure if that version is sold out or not. 

 

Got back to everyone that PM'ed - I'm actually not sure which variant. I deleted my first order confirmation (which is how I ended up ordering again). There's a line if it's clear, and Juan is the only one that has asked if it's purple. 

 

When it arrives, depending on which variant I'll be in touch.

So, it looks like I ordered two copies of this from Polyvinyl by accident. If anyone wants a copy let me know. Not even sure if that version is sold out or not. 

Just got records back from the pressing plant, and most of them have flawed center labels - scuffed, rippled, etc. I have a box of clean labels, and wonder if I can GLUE fresh labels OVER the flawed ones to salvage this mess.   Has anyone done this?   I figure it will be fine as long as I pick the right adhesive and don't slop glue onto the vinyl.  Any feedback greatly appreciated!

 

There's a chance there's a second label cleanly attached to the record underneath the bad labels. It's happened to me with a record I did in the past. All I did was peel off the labels with air bubbles and everything was cool. 

 

I'd say check on that before gluing extra labels on there. 

On the way to you, Thomas! Thanks again.

 

In other news - this is basically SOLD OUT. I'm waiting for the last few copies to make their way to their new homes, then I will be putting up another 3-4 copies in the webstore. Once that's gone, these are gone forever. I'll update this thread before I put them up.

 

Thanks again everyone for the support.

Sorry if anyone was confused by that package. I'm happy to keep exchanging until I run out of colored copies. I'll throw in some extra goodies as well for the trouble. Email me [email protected] if you want to take me up on it.

To the guy that didn't get shipping confirmation - don't be worried, they've been all sent out. But if you want the tracking # or anything just email me and I'll get it to you.

I did. Either way I'm cool, just read they all were supposed to be on color. Hopefully the clamp will work and I won't have to bother you for a replacement on the boot (regular plays fine with it's warp, so should be really flat with the clamp).

Sounds like a mixup wherever you read - I have a few more colored copies. If you want to exchange email me. I won't be able to ship until the first week of Sept though.

No problem, I have a record clamp coming next week, which should flatten them out enough to play without issue. I'll let you know if they don't though.

Edit: Also mine was black, despite being a pledge and thanked in the linear notes . Not a big deal to me, just want to be able to play them.

Ok cool. Thanks for understanding.

Did you order the vinyl + boot package? Those were for the black vinyl.

Got this in today with a black LP? I pledged, thought it was supposed to be colored.

Just PM'ed you back.

Oh, never knew this. Weird. I'll have to look for it.

Also just an FYI, and not to sound like I'm bitching, but I got my records today and they were super lose in the mailer and came pretty warped (Album plays ok, bootleg is unplayable since the stylus jumps around a lot). You might want to make sure the mailers are closed tighter and taped to keep the lps from moving around so much.

Everything should have been packed tight with a cardboard insert... Send me an email. Sorry about that.

We ever going to see Heights pressed, or was it released on a label who makes it hard to license? I forget which label it was on.

 

Height was pressed, by a label that's now defunct. 

 

Doghouse owns the rights though, I believe. 

I dropped off every pledge and order placed in my store (as of this second) yesterday. If you ordered just vinyl it was shipped media, vinyl and a shirt were shipped priority.

Any orders placed from here on out will be shipped after Labor Day.

I'll be on the road with John for the entirety of the tour. We'll have copies of the record and the bootleg available, and possibly some of the older records if the space allows for it. Looking forward to seeing some of you out there!

Are the copies in your store any different than the ones from the fundraising campaign?

 

If you pledged, you'll be getting the PM exclusive - they're not all red but they all came out really great. Most are kinda translucent with dark haze/smoke. There are shades of brown/yellow, red, and green. 

 

The ones in the store are the standard black vinyl. I may throw in some extra stuff I have left over, as always. 

 

For the bootleg - the only difference is the cover/print that comes alongside it. The design shown on the page is the color scheme you'll get. These are actually a LITTLE bit rarer than the PM exclusive.

I apologize we couldn't get these out by the release date, but after a few hiccups, all of the pieces are finally here. Orders will start shipping out tomorrow, with the goal to have all of the pledges out the door by Monday. Keep in mind I'm one guy here, so please be patient.

 

For those of you who slept on the campaign, there are only about 20 copies of this in the store. If you want it and can't make it to the tour, grab it quick.
