So, it’s not Record St*re Day at last. Seems an appropriate time to put this little beast up for grabs. Two lathe cut sides of ’60s inspired instrumental action, one frantic and the other a bit more reflective. It comes in a laminated card picture cover with printed inner sleeve, housed in a polythene outer sleeve. All the trappings of success, and all ‘hand crafted’ (eurgh…) by my very good self. I will only ever be making 50 copies of this.

Here’s a video of what it looks like and what it sounds like. Note the ‘BBC Four’ style camerawork. I believe that’s what gets attention these days, more’s the pity…

How much? £11 for a copy, plus £2.50 post within the UK by Royal Mail. So that’s £13.50. If you’re outside the UK, the total will be £16.00 in the EU and £17.00 elsewhere, sent RM international standard. Sounds a lot I know, but post isn’t cheap these days. Also, customs charges may apply outside of the EU, as I’m sure you know…

Also, please specify if you’d like a copy with a small centre hole, rather than the jukebox sized one (which how I’d always envisaged this release, but the option is there).

I’m working on Plastidisc’s first 7″ release (i.e. not a project for another label). Two sides of instrumental music with a definite ’60 surf-rock sort of sound, 50 copies only in hand-constructed, laminated card sleeves. Yes, it’s a lot of work. Hopefully I’ll have the first batch ready for sale in about a week’s time, all being well (and assuming the poly bags and mailers turn up on time). More news as we get it, etc.

Hello. First blog post, which should mirror the content on the Facebook group page fairly closely, for those who don’t ‘do’ that particular social networking thing.

So, April 2020. It’s taken a long time to get this thing going, and there’s probably some irony in that I needed a pandemic and society lockdown to really get my backside into gear. However, things are starting to roll. Hopefully not straight off a cliff.

Starting off with a long sold out 7″ for Adam Walton, I’ve done a ultra-limited run of singles for Swansea’s My-Ra Superstar, another one for Buried Treasure records (more on that soon, I think), and a real biggie for the lovely Castles In Space.

There are still a very few copies of the run of 100 left, link below. I was dead pleased with the sound I achieved on this one, and feedback from purchasers seems to be very positive. It’s packaged in CiS’s usual sumptuous way, and the music’s great too. So, that’s nice…
