Hi folks,
Sorry about the radio silence on updates, I was in the midst of busy season at my day job and just didn't have time to post anything here and didn't have much to update you on, but we do now...!!!
As of today, we have all 4 albums in as test pressings! I spent time today, giving them spins.... and I'll give them a headphones pass this throughout the weekend. The approval of test pressings should never be a rush job and there's a lot sides to go through.
here's a picture of the tests (there's 5 records, because the Toasters album is a 2xLP):

Before you ask, we're still waiting on the free 7" test pressings...that shouldn't be too long behind.

Even though I'm getting ahead of myself mentioning this: I've gotten a few messages about changes of address, I'll send out a survey before I start shipping to confirm these details with you all once the records & covers arrive and I have time to gather a crew of friends to help assemble all 3,000 albums.
Thanks for being patient with us, pressing records is never a quick process, and it's even slower right now because of Record Store Day, we were admittedly foolish to think that the pre-production details would go smoothly enough as to get these done by November, but we're getting there. I promise.

Stay tuned,

Hey folks,
quick update, at this point all the artwork is done, and we're waiting for the lacquers to be cut and arrive at the plant for plating and then get the test pressings at this point. The reference lacquers sound awesome - You're all gonna be excited

We'll keep you posted as things progress. We realize we're off schedule by a huge margin, but everything has taken longer to get done than we planned for...but hang in there and we'll get these done soon enough!

Hey folks,
Here's the updates We've had a few unplanned delays... the first one was that the art files for these records no longer exist, and the restoration/recreation took a bit more time than expected. But they've all been taken care of now and look better than ever. we even un-stretched the photo of Mike Park from the cover of the Bruce Lee Band album! (see below) .
Also getting all the bonus tracks nailed down/agreed upon, getting the Stubborn All Starts record entirely re-mastered from the original tracks, and just getting everything cleared with bands on tour/day jobs etc took a while longer than expected. The largest annoyance has been the result of the mass represses of major label records from Record store day... if you collect vinyl you know that everything that was supposed to come out in the last few months seemed to have been effected. We're still a little while off on these being completed, but progress is being made, and we'll be able to post updates more frequently. We apologize for the delay, but be assured we want to deliver you guys the best possible product, and do these great albums justice.. and it's hard to post updates when there isn't much to say beyond, we're waiting for approval on these.

Hey friends!
We crossed our funding goal yesterday! We're super stoked on that and that's all thanks to you!

I just wanted to let you know that since we "sold out" of the all 4 LP on color vinyl reward package - I put up an option to buy all four releases that we will fulfill with color vinyl if we have extras, otherwise you'll get black vinyl...here's the description:
"ALL 4 releases of the 4 records, not all guaranteed to be on color vinyl, but as many as possible! If you live in Canada please add $10, if you live anywhere else in the world please add $25 All Donors will get their name listed in the liner notes of all 4 records as a supporter of this project."

Please tell all your friends as if we get up to $16K we will be able to press a bonus a 7" for anyone pledging $20 or more and we only have 3 days to get there!

thanks again everyone!
-Justin.
