New Ass 'Salt Marsh' LP has landed. It's truly beautiful stuff. the quality of music is matched by Ben Javens sleeve and the white vinyl. 500 copies only. Initial copies came and went so I'd recommend Norman, Piccadilly, RT and ordering a copy. If you heard Andreas' last record you will know what to expect but this builds and moves forward from that record.
Also just landed - some copies of the Erland & The Carnival tour single. Its a one sided 'carnivilisation'. £2-50 nails this one and I'd get one now as these will be impossible to source later. Paypal is g.dolman@bham.ac.uk
