Sounds fabulous and I want a copy but please can you keep one for me and I’ll get it off you when I see you in December. Thanks so much. looking forward to seeing you soon.
Hi Maggie! We’re not actually stocking them – the infamous Northside Records store is now running a label, and they’re putting it out – we just contributed some tracks. I can ask Chris for you if you like (CD or LP?)
Hey! Can I snag an LP/CD??
Not sure if there’s any LPs about still, but the CD should be available online or through northside records
