Big release

Bagged this one last week, absolute smasher!

For those that recall, despite the epic struggle with the UK plant, we'd still managed to keep the same September 27th send out date for Dodger Man's debut on wax. Well, unfortunately the plant struck again.

Managing to get the records out at the right weight to the distributor the day they were needed, it wasn't till after the weekend (3 days later) that I got my own copies. Nice weight, labels looked good, chuck it on the a-side...only to hear hideous pops and crackles the whole way through. Somehow the plant had not only severely fucked up the record but had sent them out without even checking a single one.

I more than realise these things happen with pressing records - not sure a smooth run ever exists, it's all part of the fun and something you laugh about at the end. The fact that the plant's tried to mug us off for more money at every turn does rub a bit of salt in it though.

That said, our friends at 2nd Drop Records have been among those with words of support to keep us sane, and at the end of the day it's a small price to pay for two amazing tunes in the format we love. Mad props to ST Holdings and the record stores for their patience in the matter.

Apologies to keep all waiting! It'll now be shipping from ST October from October the 11th for an official store release of October 18th.

In the words of Mz Bratt 'Big tune'.

Does this mean then that the vinyl copy I picked up a BM soho a few weeks back is one of the underweight ones? Come to think of it I did think it felt quite light compared to some of my other plates.

[Keith_P]

Oh damn!
Only thing I can think of was it got bought off the promo bin?
I believe a few lightweight ones got left in there as promos that may've found their way in to the promo bin.

Get in touch man, I'll send you out a proper copy as soon as I get my hands on them. The quality should be right do feel free to pass it on to a mate who doesn't mind thin wax.

Same goes for anyone else who's got one of these (unfortunately promos got sent too soon! though there shouldn't be too many floating about) - if you've got a thin copy give us a shout and I'll send the right weight out.

Cheers for the feedback!
