--ADDITIONAL UPCOMING RELEASES--
While there's a lot going on around here to handle all of the parts of
both the Sunburned Hand Of the Man and Howlin Rain records mentioned
earlier in this update, there's always something else going on. The
next two records we will have out (after the aforementioned) will be a
LP of new studio material from Jack Rose as well as a Bardo Pond LP
that is the spiritual sibling to "Batholith" from earlier this year.
Both should be coming out within the first half of 2009 . Exciting!
More info on both to follow soon...
--SCARE THREE LOBED ITEM--
Our test pressings have seemed to be something that folks have been
interested in when offered. Straight from the Three Lobed personal
archives comes exactly one (1) copy each of:
TLR-052 - Howlin Rain "Wild Life"
TLR-064 - Sunburned Hand Of The Man "A Grand Tour Of Tunisia"
These are sealed test pressings and represents one of only twenty-five
copies that exist in this form for each of these records. Want a rare
version for your collection? Here's your chance. These records are
available for $25 for the Howlin Rain and $30 for the Sunburned
(postage not included). For shipping options, the buyer can select
USPS media mail ($3.50), USPS priority mail ($6.50) or USPS first
class international shipping ($8.50 to Canada, $13.50 to all other
locations). These are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
--ANY (SEMI-LOCAL) FOLKS INTERESTED ASSISTING WITH THREE LOBED
ASSEMBLY-RELATED ACTIVITIES?--
Every now and then when we have some new releases getting ready to
come out we have a lot of work that needs to be done all at once
(assembly, quality control, numbering, etc.). Operating basically as
a one/two person staff, sometimes things can slow down a bit. If you
live somewhat close to High Point (North Carolina) and would be
interested in maybe pitching in and helping us move some of this stuff
along quicker from time to time, drop us a line. Clearly there's no
obligation or anything else - we'll just add you to a small
distribution email list that will let you know when we have upcoming
projects that could use a few extra hands. If you happen to be
available when the call goes out, awesome. We will make it worth your
while for any assistance you can offer us as far as release assembly
and other tasks go. Sadly, we are not talking about anything like
college credit interning - we simply don't have enough steady work to
provide the sort of regularity that would be required.
Anyway, if you're potentially interested, drop us a line...
--CHEAPER CDS--
Have you always intended to check out the Modern Containment CD series
and, for whatever reason, never gotten around to it? The price on
this complete nine disc set (with slipcase) has been reduced to $60
postpaid within the US ($70 postpaid to all non-US addresses) for all
remaining copies. Modern Containment consists of otherwise
unavailable material from the Sun City Girls, Hush Arbors, Sunburned
Hand of the Man, Wooden Wand, Mouthus, Bardo Pond, Mirror/Dash, Matt
Valentine & Erika Elder with the Bummer Road and Kinski.
Also, any time you purchase any of our vinyl titles you can purchase
certain catalog CD titles at bargain prices. For example, purchase
any LP and add a copy of Bardo Pond's "Cypher Documents I,"
Davenport's "Rabbit's Foot Propeller," Spectre Folk's "Requiem for
Ming Aralia" or GHQ's "Heavy Elements" to your order for just $5.
Feel free to buy all of these titles at this discount pricing - there
is no limit. Similarly, the Turnstone CD is available with any vinyl
purchase for $6. There is no need for additional shipping to be added
to any purchase, domestic or international, for discs added to a vinyl
order under this promotion.
--LIVE SHOWS--
November and December and bringing about various sorts of touring
activity from Jack Rose, Sunburned Hand of the Man, MVEE, Steve Gunn
and Howlin Rain. As always, check back by this list for more dates by
more artists as they become known to us.
