well folks it's a few different things really. 1. it takes a huge amount of time to put it together and after 8 of them now that time means more and more to me. 2. the money is another issue as it's...

it's on.....august 10th - 14th. website and info coming next week. mike

well you can have many things go wrong. the most obvious is a bad test pressing. this usually falls on a band not mastering for vinyl and sending in a master that would be used for CD instead. also...

hey yall,
i can vouch for the bad pressings claim. right now there are only a handful of pressing plants in the USA, add that to the massive demand that the major labels (wea, emi, universal) have...
