Ektoise - The Thought Police Bola/The Black Dog 7"

The 7" vinyls finally finally arrived today and they look absolutely lush! Sorry these photos are a little crummy but my camera is not the best. Either way here's how they turned out:

and here's a photo of the art prints from the first 27 pre-orders:

The pre-orders have gone out and we can now ship all new orders immediately. The numbered copies with the art print have all sold out, sorry!

Looking great.

It arrived today, wahey!

The whole package is beautiful Greag. And it came with the Remix/Reform CD which I wasn't expecting at all, nice one!

that looks like a very nice package Greg. nice one.

is that 3 tracks on the 7" ? or just the 2 remixes? just out of interest.

What's the difference between the 7" cuts and the like 9 min versions on the CD? why cut em down? and is the Bola mix on the CD of the same song as on the 7?

Its a different edit. I think the bola remix is a different edit too.

The 7" has two tracks; The Thought Police remixed by tBd and Bola

The 7" vinyl has edits because any longer than 6mins on a 7" loses sound quality. If we put the full length tracks on there they would have sounded like shit and we really could not afford to make a 12" unfortunately; in Australia there are only two pressing plants for vinyl and it would have cost us nearly five thousand dollars to press 300 of them so it wasn't an option this time.

Jesus!!

move to the UK. :)

Hey, that's my art print up there -- number 5! Got this in the mail yesterday, thanks a bunch Greg.

No worries, thanks very much for supporting us! It's easy enough to get onto Soulseek or whatever and download the stuff so we really do appreciate it when people like yourself purchase something from us.

I'd love to! Thinking of doing it towards the end of next year. I checked the figures again and I was slightly off, it would be around $4000 for 300 12"s, it's $5000+ for 2x12"s (which is what we're looking at if we want to press an album)

So not quite five Gs but still way too expensive for us atm... We may have to look at how much it would cost to get things pressed overseas and shipped back here, that may be even more cost effective than trying to get it done locally!

Well it helped that you priced the music fairly. I appreciated that.

i was going to suggest that yesterday, but wasn't sure of cost. would probably work out cheaper though. plus there's more than 2 places over here!
