Test Pressing Benefit Sale

There’s a new category in the btv online store to capture all of the available test pressings. This should be a nearly complete and up-to-date listing of our various test pressing stock, some of which are down to just a single remaining copy. This Labor Day weekend, every dollar spent on test pressings will be donated to Hurricane Harvey relief to support those in Texas affected by this event. Additionally, btv will match every dollar spent to double the donated amount. Help us clean out our test pressing inventory and support a worthy cause! :::scott:::

It’s been a really hectic time. Apologies to everyone in Boston who missed out on seeing Yndi Halda. They had to cancel the show due to van problems. They made a valiant attempt at taking a train to the show, but it didn’t work out. They’ll make up for it the next time they’re in the US, for sure. Thanks to everyone who so fully supported Yndi Halda’s month in the US, everyone who came out to the shows and helped with places to stay, and especially to Bojan for booking, Alex in Williamsport for booking them at a new venue, Tim in Lancaster for taking a chance at a gallery show, Nathan in Virginia for getting two solid shows, Jamie in Jackson for delivering shirts, Johnathon for helping set up the Tulsa show super last minute, Jason for driving them around, and Commissioner and Willis for loaning gear.
