thisisahiijack Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 http://kck.st/1nJoat3 Press Release:After sitting dormant on the launchpad for two years, the Rocket Heart Records spaceship is ready to once again take flight. Since their last release, the Dead Girls' “She Laughed a Little” single, the label has been working to acquire the rights to Ultimate Fakebook's landmark piece of power pop, This Will Be Laughing Week. That moment has arrived. After Rocket Heart's release of Ultimate Fakebook's debut full-length, Electric Kissing Parties, in 2010, fans have been clamoring for the power-pop trio's powerful sophomore release. The much-beloved album has been out of print since 2000, when it was re-released by Sony/550 Records. Presented on vinyl for the first time, and in its finest form yet, this release of This Will be Laughing Week will be a merging of histories. The cover will feature the art of the original Noisome Records release from 1999, but the music on the LP will be from the later Sony/550 release. In addition to the songs on the original release, the Sony version featured re-recorded versions of the Electric Kissing Parties' tracks “Downstairs/Arena Rock” and “Far Far Away.” Featuring such live favorites as “She Don't Even Know My Name,” “Little Apple Girl,” and “Soaked In Cinnamon,” This Will Be Laughing Week is a masterpiece of power-pop, and a must for any fan of catchy rock 'n' roll. This vinyl release takes a powerful statement of Midwest music, with roots and hooks hearkening back to Cheap Trick, and presents it in its finest form yet, and on vinyl for the first time. Rocket Heart Records' initial vinyl pressing of This Will Be Laughing Week will be 850 copies; with 500 on black, and 350 Coke bottle clear. In order to fund this pressing, as well as pay for the licensing rights, the goal for this Kickstarter campaign is $13,000. If funded, the record will be available in early Fall 2014. Tracklist: 01. She Don't Even Know My Name 02. Tell Me What You Want03. Of Course We Will04. Brokÿn Nëedle05. A Million Hearts06. Soaked In Cinnamon07. This Will Be Laughing Week08. Little Apple Girl09. I'm All Out Of It Now10. Far, Far Away11. Glitter & Glue12. Downstairs/Arena Rock13. Real Drums14. Perfect Hair The kickstarter is already over $1,000 and it just started yesterday.

timpopkid Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I already pledged, but it doesn't seem like the money they're collection is adding up quick enough. I hope this gets pressed, but it seems pretty far away. So yeah, pledge and help you jerks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Another bump. There are still 40 days left on this, but it's been stuck on $2800 for a few days now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmartinxx Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm not trying to be a try be a wet blanket here, but sadly the math of this means it's probably not going to get funded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 They also added a few more test pressing packages, to those interested. that is kinda dumb. being that i was one of the original 4 to pledge for that, seems kinda lame to now add to the amount of test presses. i am all for everyone getting a copy of this album, but the test press being as limited as it was, was my reason for pledging at that level. surprised they didnt take that into consideration.
