Well, last month was the month of singles, and this month, we've got some incredible pressed LPs all dropping at the same time! Some are preorders, so we will ship them out ASAP...
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ADDRESS IN PAYPAL! :-)
Little Wings – Ropes in Paradise LP
Oh boy... this is one I've REALLY been waiting for... The Little Wings Country Covers Record! You all know how much I love Little Wings and how much I love Classic Country. Kyle Field went in with a top crew of studio musicians to make a truly sincere country record, but with that Little Wings stoney, surfer flair.
Limited Edition of 500 copies. Available on either Yellow or Black vinyl. 200 were bought by a vinyl subscription company, and Kyle has a bunch, so we only have about 100 yellow and 50 blacks available.
Also available for Distro is Kyle's self-released new LP of originals, PEOPLE. This is an incredible album, and includes my second favorite of all Little Wings songs (one that was originally going to be on Ropes, but got moved because it wasn't a cover), “Paradise” This song is an instant classic.. I knew it the first time I heard him play at the PIAPTK curated Ace Hotel Palm Springs Vinyl Weekend a couple years ago. It's such a perfect country folk song that if it weren't for Kyle's signature weird word play and references to flip-flops, you would swear it was a cover from a song from your childhood.
Floating Action – Old World Camels
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A PREORDER - These will not arrive for a week or two (the AHT handpainted may take longer), so if you want to order other items and have them ship sooner, please place two seperate orders.
Floating Action is back! Much like PIAPTK, Seth Kaufman always says that the next release will be his last. And just like PIAPTK, he (thankfully) keeps on cranking out the hits. And like the last couple of FA releases, we are ridicuosly pleased to co-release OWC with my favorite record label in the world, Almost Halloween Time. Luigi the Italian Madman is, once again, making 100 unique oil paintings for the covers with handwritten titles on the back. If you somehow haven't checked out his incredible catalog, get it together and go here.
Old World Camels is limited to 300 copies, and will most likely never be pressed again. We always sell out of these within a few days (or sooner).
The PIAPTK version (ltd ed of 200 copies) has silkscreened chipboard jackets.
We also have 30 copies of the LONG out of print “Is It Exquisite” LP that we bought from Baby Gas Mask Records, who co-released that album. In a perfect world, you would go buy this from them and support another great Tucson label, but you can also get it from us.
Money Mark - Change is Coming SOILD GOLD!
Soild Gold #11 - Money Mark! The keys man behind the music of some of the biggest hits for The Beastie Boys, (Paul's Boutique, Licensed to Ill, Check Your Head, etc) Beck (he played the intro to Where It's At), and lots of other artists, is slumming it with Soild Gold.
Change is Coming is an instrumental record that features a ton of collaborators, including Sean Lennon, Los Lobos, etc, has been out of print for years, and is a fan favorite. You will almost definitely recognize some of the tunes, as most of them have been featured on tv shows, commercials, movies, etc. A really chill dinner party vibe...
All in our patented "Soild Gold Style" paste on covers, with hand stamped labels on Translucent Gold Vinyl and 12x18 cardstock poster. 50 copies of the special "Coins and Bills" splatter vinyl (trans gold mixed with silver and green, which gives it a crazy wavy look) will be randomly inserted into orders. As always, Soild Gold is ANALOG ONLY... Does not include downloads.
You can also join the "Test Pressing Guessing Game" by adding some extra change onto your "Pay What You Want". For example, if you pay $22.38 and Mark chose the number 38 for this release, you win a free test pressing along with your order.
