Nathan Phillips (formerly The Winston Jazz Routine) - Postcard LP - Still Available!

[brianmorgante]

This might be a bit of a random post, but I was digging around for some music last night, and came across this.

 

First, I was looking to see if there was ever even a small pressing of The Winston Jazz Routine - Sospiri since I knew there was a pressing out there of the record before it called "Realization".  Of course there's nothing, and it needs to happen, but that's another story.

 

In digging, I had COMPLETELY forgot that Nathan, the brainchild behind The Winston Jazz Routine had come out with a solo record back in mid 2009 called "Postcard".  It's really just a new Winston Jazz Routine record under his solo name, and it's incredible.

 

There are only 200 of them total, and they are all handmade.  He took old LP jackets, sanded them down, turned them inside out, put actual different postcards on the front of all of them, and stamped his name on them.  Great project, and nice little unique one-of-a-kind packaging. 

 

His website hadn't been updated since 2010, but I emailed the address listed for purchasing his record via paypal, and sure enough he got back to me saying there are still some of these available, and even though it's all inactive and done for, he's still shipping them out.

This is what the records look like:  200 total on standard black vinyl, in the diy packaging:

 

 

You can order this record directly from Nathan on his extremely outdated website in the right sidebar where it says "Paypal vinyl":

This might be mega old news to some of you, and some of you might have this, but to those looking for a little gem, I highly recommend picking this up, and checking out "The Winston Jazz Routine" as well, for some super chill, super awesome music.
