Has anyone's tracking for Live At Rough Trade actually updated since you got the shipping notification?

Nope.

And I guess so much for the 12/22 release/arrival date too.

Bump!

Wow, forgot I made this thread!

Well we sold this record out, then repressed it, then they went on tour with FUTURE ISLANDS in Europe this fall and sold it out again.

Almost.

I have about 23 copies left in stock and they are currently on sale for 20% off with the code ZM20 at checkout. Brings it down to $12. That's a no-brainer, folks.

Do you like psychedelic music? With surf vibes? Do you like King Crimson, Thee Oh Sees, King Gizzard, Yo La Tengo? This band is for you.

Can't guarantee it by Christmas, but I can guarantee that your order will hit the USPS within 24hrs. Packages always have extra goodies in them too.

Can we sell this record out for a second time? Dammit, we can try.

We are somewhere in this ballpark for artwork.

100 silk-screened covers, signed & numbered by the artist.

This will serve as the jacket, but can also be displayed as a poster should you want to do that.

Some more info:

The constellations depicted are that of the Southern Cross and its annual path throughout the sky.

All of the "pink" ink will (hopefully) be of the glow variety.

Probably more artwork/album credits on the opposite side of this image, the inside of the jacket.

That's some good stuff. Funny though, I think "No Sayers" is one of the weaker tracks out of all of them. I would have started the album with "Famous Last Words" or "On the Spot". Either way, if your price is good on this release, I will buy it.

Gotta lead em off with something good so you can blow em away with something great later on.

Only gonna press 100 copies of this record, so I'll be sure to let this thread know when there's a pre-order!

On a side note....When the hell is Homeless gonna be putting up it's feckin' designs?! It's been nearly two weeks now! Same goes for Constant Rotation too. C'mon guys...pull ya socks up, ya slackers!

I fall in this camp too, apologies.

I'm working with local artists on a special screen-printed design and finally met with them last night to iron out details & bat some ideas around. Trying to get together has been like pulling teeth. Artists, lol.

Anyway, I told them I needed an image to share in the next 7-10 days, even if it's just a ballpark rendering of what they are thinking about.

I'm excited though, we came up with some cool packaging ideas, and one of my artists is from Melbourne and knows the Gizz guys a little bit.

Too bad that Brown Sabbath Vol. II is sold via the band and not the label. That would be a sweet discount.

I grabbed the Groove Merchant 20th anny comp and the These Are The Breaks comp. 50% off is pretty great.

Stoked on them both.

And here's one to keep an eye on: https://truelovesband.bandcamp.com/releases

I'll be putting this on wax for them in early 2018.

Thick funk!

Also - Ubiquity Records has 50% off everything with code BFUB2017 thru Dec. 8.

I picked up some great stuff from them recently. Worth digging around their site.

From Now-Again Records: http://www.nowagainrecords.com/announcing-timothy-mcnealy-funky-movement/

The greatest never-issued Texas Funk LP – the legendary Timothy McNealy’s works, collected and officially reissued for the first time.

Extensive booklet detailing Timothy’s story, replete with never-published photos. Download card for WAV files included.

Dallas, Texas funk and soul singer, songwriter, producer and firebrand Timothy McNealy’s “Sagittarius Black” 45 was one of the first key “deep funk” records of the genre’s re-discovery period in the mid- to late-‘90s, when collectors and DJ’s did with the black America’s fertile late-‘60s and early ‘70s musical scenes what they had done prior with blues, jazz and rock. When that rarity was first rediscovered, no one could really explain it’s genesis: It was that rare thing, a record that came out of a specific era, but transcended it. Those who were entranced knew now how much McNealy had recorded, how many records he’d issued on his self-funded Shawn Records, or how good his music might be.

With this anthology – the first time that McNealy’s work has been collected and officially reissued – we now know the answer, and we know that McNealy’s music deserves to be emblematic of Dallas funk and soul in the same way that Texas’s other two largest cities – Houston, with the Kashmere Stage Band, and San Antonio, with Mickey and the Soul Generation – have their unique ambassadors, colored by those cities’ milieus.

McNealy’s recordings offer the breadth and depth that make a case for important idiosyncrasies, as they showcase a singular musical vision and his city’s vast talent, which has been prior documented on Now-Again releases such as Cold Heat and the South Dallas Pop Fest 1970 and Jazzman Records’ Texas Funk. McNealy’s banner recordings for Dallas, Texas’s best and brightest in that wonderful moment for American funk and soul music is worthy as an album, and as a testament to what is great about American music in general, and its creators’ abilities to think beyond the immediate.

 Problem is, there are so many different pressings now, could I even sell 500? Even if I ordered now, they wouldn't be available until April-ish.

Exactly the reason I dropped my pressing to 100 from 250.

Sweet.

I will post more updates as I figure it out.

Kinda rolling the dice with this one myself. Just seems like too cool a project not to get in on.

Band is next level rad.

How about the vinyl itself. Standard black?

I'm leaning that way right now, because black is the ultimate, but part of me wants to do some sort of colored variant.

Still unsure, but prob just black.

WarHen is jumping on board here.

Pre-order link will go up tomorrow on my bandcamp page.

Edition of 300. No idea what I'm gonna do with it yet. Most likely will just take major liberties with the artwork. Get a screen printer friend involved, etc...

Roll the dice if you feel like it.

250 will go up for sale online, 50 being held back for local sales/record stores.

Got my ATO copy today.

I think Colemine, well, Remined Records, is reissuing Gloria Barnes - Uptown.

White whale record for me. I'll be happy with this reissue.

The price tag is what prevented me from ordering.

Too bad the packaging is kind of bunk too.

On my first listen now and I think this is the best one they've released so far this year.

I am very excited for this record.
