An update on the stuff you bought
Dear Favorite People,
We've been remiss in keeping you abreast of our progress. Here, have some information!
To refresh your memories, we have three main items we're working on, namely the 23-song Freeway Special LP, the 18-song Freeway Special CD, and the 5-song Come On Summer EP (which appears on side IV of the LP). Then we've also got t-shirts and cover songs, and one 45-rpm 7" single.
The LP is at the pressing plant. We have not received a firm date but estimate its completion in under two weeks. The Freeway Special CD is finished. Several boxes are en route to our headquarters even as you read this. The Come On Summer EP is at the plant, with an ETA of 8/1.
T-shirts have been designed. We'll get sizes from the concerned parties when we ask for everyone's addresses & other pertinent information. Then the silkscreening will begin.
We have performed & filmed all the cover songs but one so far. The recordings still need to be mixed and the video edited. They were lots of fun & the results should delight even the hardest-hearted. We've also recorded one of the two MSR songs for the one-of-a-kind 7" single. One more to go.
That about wraps it up. There are a few house parties and one puppet master pledge that we're happy to take care of at any time. The respective parties should not be shy in voicing their demands.
Thanks again for the help. Look for another update soon. It won't be long now.
Love,
The World Record
Andy, Aaron, Brian, and Jacob
