derkwithano Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I've been working with Ra Ra Riot/Barsuk Records on this for a while now, and these tapes are now finished! I'm pumped to finally get these 2 incredible albums out on pro-tape. They go up at 12PM EST, but I'm letting you guys on here have first dibs since I've personally benefitted a great deal/scored some awesome limited stuff from info that posters on VC have submitted. These are pretty limited (/100) and probably won't get another run. Thanks! http://workingmanrecs.storenvy.com/ The Orchard - (3 colors w/ silver imprint) 20 - Black (*Working Man Records exclusive. Each of the first 20 solid black tapes comes with a hand-numbered transparent vellum paper over the original artwork.) 30 - Red Tint (band color) 50 - Purple Tint The Rhumb Line - (3 colors w/ orange imprint) 20 - Solid Blue (*Working Man Records exclusive. Each of the first 20 solid blue tapes comes with a hand-numbered card featuring alternate artwork that was featured in the LP's original insert.) 30 - Clear w/ Royal Blue Liner (band color) 50 - Grey *I also put up some test tapes with stenciled "TEST" covers to help fund a 12" EP that I'm co-releasing with a band to be announced later, so, pick one up! The tests are 1/1, as they were the only ones sent to me for each release. Pretty cool collectible if you're into that. Thanks! **There will ALSO be a sale on the Mathieu Santos (bassist of Ra Ra Riot) - "Massachusetts 2010" cassette for those of you that want to get both The Rhumb Line and The Orchard, along with Mathieu's album.

stopthisnoise Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 not understanding the recent resurgence of cassettes, but the rhumb line is a great album, and at 4.99, that's a great price no matter what format it's on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 totally not trying to hijack this thread, because it looks like the tapes are selling quite well... way to go. but is anyone interested in a test press of the orchard? i listed mine for sale, so i might get rid of it. http://vinylcollective.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damianzamora Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Derek any chance of any extra Blue Rhumb Lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derkwithano Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Derek any chance of any extra Blue Rhumb Lines? the store actually oversold for some reason, so I don't have any extras. I was supposed to save a few extra for the band but when I logged in after they went up, my inventory said "-1". It was weird. Sorry about that!
