unravelled Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Sunday July 26 Is The Last Day To Order One-Time Pressing of Screaming Females Chalk Tape On Vinyl Only available through mail-order, the limited release 12" vinyl will go back into the "out of print" category after tomorrow. Last month, Don Giovanni Records announced that for the first time ever, we'd be issuing a vinyl release of the 2013 long out of print cassette-only recording Chalk Tape by Screaming Females. This one-time vinyl pressing would only be made available to order for the limited period of one month. After TOMORROW Sunday July 26th, the pre-order period will be over, and the vinyl will no longer be available. Initially released in a limited run of just 100 cassette copies, Chalk Tape was available and sold at only one show (at which it sold out immediately) in 2013, which was the first show back for the band after a six-month hiatus from touring and performing. It has not been available in any physical format since then. Pitchfork called the EP “some of the hookiest, most melodic songs Screaming Females have ever recorded” in their original review of the EP. Photo from the 2013 Don Giovanni Records Showcase at The Music Hall Of Williamsburg, by Caroline Harrison. The EP’s genesis came after an extended period of touring inactivity while guitarist/vocalist Marissa Paternoster was recovering from a severe illness. The band worked on the seven songs that would make up Chalk Tape as a writing and collaboration exercise to keep creative energy fresh, following up 2012’s Steve Albini produced 2xLP Ugly. Chalk Tape has existed outside the official canon of Screaming Females’ catalog since its release, though it is a unique document of a band concurrently writing, recording, and performing in real-time and capturing of their songs as they were being created. This vinyl run of Chalk Tape is exclusively available for a limited pre-order, and in the spirit of the EP’s initial limited release, will only be available via this pre-order until TOMORROW Sunday July 26. Vinyl pressing time is unpredictable these days but these are projected to ship in late October/early November.

There are a few retailers that have this listed as set to release the first week of February so should be soon. Rough Trade also has it listed as limited to 800 copies.

DeathPeak Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Got mine today. It was pretty warped/bowled. I was bummed. It's playable and sounds alright though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
