Vinyl Update, Go Phils!

hatchy

We’re on the edge of our seats anylwaiting the outcome of the last 3 1/2 innings of World Series Game 5. I’ll be out in the Fishtown waiting for the celebration. Go Phils. Some good news for fans of new releases. Starflyer 59 test pressings are approved. There is a significant delay at the plant for pressing, but it looks as though we’ve negotiated a run at the plant next week, meaning LPs should be shipping out to customers about 2 weeks from now if all goes according to plan. We’re excited about this. Denison Witmer test pressings are also approved. I’m working on a final delivery date for this LP, but we’re hopeful that these will be ready for Denison to sell in November at shows and will ship just prior to the release date. We’ll be supplying download codes by e-mail if the LPs won’t be shipping by then. The first batch, available by pre-order or from Denison directly, will be on yellow and white vinyl. A new blog for you to consider…www.hamburgercalculus.com or the RSS feed for the high tech members of our audience. Did I say Go Phils already?! :::scott:::

These have been sent out to all test pressing customers who should be receiving your LPs at the same time as the band.  Test pressings for Denison Witmer’s Carry the Weight also arrived just after the sf59 ones and were immediately sent out to all test pressing customers. We’re wrapping up the final tweaks to Bosque Brown’s Baby design and this should be in production by the end of October. The mastering has been completed by Dave Willingham at the Echo Lab in Denton, TX and the record is sounding great. Chris Flemmons’ production is just right. We’re excited to say the least. We’re planning to have a bonus 7″ with the LP version that will feature two songs that Mara recorded in Austin a while back. She amazing played two covers in one take to tape that sounded incredible. We’ve also received artwork and audio for Erik Enocksson’s Farväl Falkenberg. This will be out…Continue readingVinyl, Bosque Brown, Erik Enocksson, new RSS feed

Matt Pence who recorded Bosque Brown’s Cerro Verde is on tour with them. They also have some really sweet silk-screened posters for sale. I’m off to Chicago. I’m going to see Jimmy Dale Gilmore on Saturday night and am pretty excited. I’m also taking my parents to Hot Dougs, an essential destination when you are in Chicago. :::scott:::
