Amateur Party 7” Pre-Orders About to Begin!

There was a record release show last Friday that went really well! It’s not officially out for mailorder yet but the first 50 copies were created for the show. The show was a benefit for two local organizations helping low income families navigate the benefits system to help heat their homes this winter, among other things.

Photos and details for the pre-order will be coming in the next few days, for now here are some details on the actual record:

  • 4 Great Songs!
  • 335 Pressed (35 “fest” test press editions on black, 50 more “regular” copies on black, the rest on two different types of colored vinyl)
  • Entirely hand-made packaging! Two color screenprinted covers, hand folded, glued, stapled, cut, etc, etc. It takes a lot of work to put these together, but I hope you all find it worthwhile in the end.
  • 10 page booklet.
  • 22 different cover varieties, each with a different photo of a friend all bundled up.

The only bummer is the record cost a lot to make so I think the single-record mailorder price is going to have to be $6ppd (that’s $4 for the record and $2 for the shipping). I will be confirming this at the post office this week and after I do I will be putting up the pre-order information (which will include a special print as with all previous releases).

One more note - I’m still low on Off Minor records but I do have them - so get them while you can, repress is uncertain.
