byul masters, bosque brown mixes, erik enocksson slated for release on btv

It’s turning into an almost overwhelming period of activity around btv hq. The kind woman at the post office found my package and I now have the byul master, as well as some incredible releases that they did in Korea. I’m really excited to be able to get to release this byul record, they’ve fully captured our attention and we’ve been raging a byul obsession for quite some time now. Their graphics and packaging are simply some of the most amazing I’ve seen and I can’t wait to see what the artwork looks like for the US release. The mixes for Bosque Brown’s Baby have been in heavy rotation along with the byul master. Both are set to get mastered over the next couple of weeks. It’s looking like late winter/early spring 2009 releases. These will come out on cd and LP. I’d like to take this time to officially announce that Burnt Toast Vinyl will be issuing Erik Enocksson’s Farväl Falkenberg soundtrack on cd in the US.

I send a lot of packages by the USPS and am actually a huge fan of all that they do, I feel much better taken care of with them in general (such as Fed-Ex somehow “destroying” a box of 160 cds last week–and what does that even mean–fire, flooding, acid bath, locusts??). Anyhow, the btv p.o. box has been relocated from the very historic 30th Street Station office to a new one nearby at 31st and Chestnut. Somehow, all of the Express Mail didn’t make it. There’s a very kind woman who works the service window many a late night and she was there to try and help me out, but couldn’t find it either. So, bureaucracy is squashing the byul release so far.…Continue reading

There’s lots of activity in the btv hq to get some record artwork details finalized. The complete Starflyer 59 Dial M artwork is ready to go to the printers. It looks sharp. The artwork for Denison’s Carry the Weight LP is in progress. We’ve also seen the final cover art for Bosque Brown’s Baby and also heard a couple very final tracks. By the way, for those fans out there, Denison has done a few covers that are available on his myspace page and are also available on My Old Kentucky Blog. He has a cover of “Champagne Supernova” up at the moment and has also done covers of Bonnie Raitt and Red House Painters songs. Stay tuned to see what other madness he reveals. By the way, for those astute on the internet, Denison Witmer released a digital-only single for “Beautiful Boys and Girls” last Tuesday on itunes and emusic. :::scott:::
