    Updates!

    ok we're getting close to ship day...

    4 of the five records should be delivered in about 2 weeks now... a little later than hoped, but record store day resulted in delays for all of us small labels.

    there was some issues witht he plates from the Pilfers record, and we had to have them redone... the plates are done, and the test presses shipped to us today.. so we should have them approved by the weekend.

    thanks for your patience, and we can't wait to shipp all of this stuff out to you!

        Please provide an update on whether any of the albums have shipped or when they are expecting to ship. According to the last update the majority of the albums should have shipped by now and no one knows if they are lost in transit or have yet to leave the warehouse.

        I think by shipped he means shipped to them, not us.

    test pressings and more!

    Ok we ran into a little delay due to the plant clogging monster known as Record Store Day...but have no fear...we'll have the test pressings in a few days for 3 of the 4 records and the bonus 7....there was an issue with the plates for the pilfers and they're being redone this week. Were keeping our fingers crossed that we'll receive, and be able to ship in April still...but we'll update everyone as soon as we know what's up. For all you who have been asking...ska kickstarter round 2 is almost ready to go, and we'll be announcing that very shortly....as well as ska is dead club series 2....so 2012 is going to have a shitload of vinyl for your collections!
