Guest Admin Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 TIM BARRY "Live at Munford Elementary" 7" white vinyl TIM BARRY "Live at Munford Elementary" 7" brown vinyl TIM BARRY "Live at Munford Elementary" 7" set of white and brown http://stores.channeladvisor.com/vinylhome/Store/Search.aspx?&Page=1&Sort=1&key=munford A while back, I had posted mp3s from Tim's live performance at Munford Elementary. I mentioned how rad I thought this session was and how I would love to release this as a single. The feedback from all of you was really strong so I asked Tim. Tim was uncertain about putting this out, but in the end, he decided to go for it. The really really cool thing about all of this is that the proceeds from the sale of this record and from the sales of the songs digitally will go to Munford Elementary's music program. Here is how Tim explains it: This recording was never intended to be released. Ms, Kiesler asked me to play for her class and I agreed. Josh Small jumped on board soon after. I asked Dave Watkins to do an audio recording to give to the kids and teacher as a keepsake. A week later I uploaded the songs on my website and the response was impressive. I was offered the opportunity to release the songs and considered it for a couple weeks. My concern was that something as simple and fun as playing for kids could become a commodity. I settled on the fact that music is supposed to be shared, and that's why I play it. With that said, feel good knowing that every single bit of "profit" from this release will go directly back into the classrooms at Mary Munford Elementary School. Thank you. -Tim Barry So this might end up being the only pressing of this record: 300 on White and 700 on brown. There is a test press contest and if you purchase a copy, you will be entered to win. Good luck. And thanks for your help in making this happen. I am so stoked to release this. Expect copies by Mid September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amsterdamned Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think all three of the people who have posted so far should just be given test presses for being such big Tim Barry fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Admin Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think all three of the people who have posted so far should just be given test presses for being such big Tim Barry fans. that is a great idea, but I think we might just give one away to a lucky purchaser and then auction off the other ones so that Munford Elementary can get a few bucks. But it is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randysxe Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 as shitty as most schools funds are towards music programs(most elementary schools are doing away with the programs), this type of thing/elementary school benefit stuff should happen more...this is so amazing...i have to buy this!

But it is a great idea. i actually thought to myself before i saw this post "hey if i won that TP man i would just flip it to one of these uber tim barry dorks and then give all of the money to Virgil to give to the charity" great minds think alike!

troymess Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm so happy the set of both colors was still available. Just picked this up with the new Tim Barry LP, both colors of Revival Road, and V/A "All Aboard". Great day at VC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
