More Asian Man vinyl releases, more chances to win test pressings

Mike Park has been a busy man with so many releases to keep up with. He has been so kind as to give us the in line on his latest vinyl titles and he just called to tell me about 2 more releases:

ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD “People Who Can Eat People Are…” LP black vinyl

ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD “People Who Can Eat People Are…” LP brown vinyl

SHINOBU / PTERADON split 7″

The Andrew Jackson Jihad is liimted to 500 copies, 100 on black, 400 on brown. The Shinobu / Pteradon split 7″ is limited to 500 copies. Remember that all of your Asian Man orders for the month of August will enter you into a raffle to win Asian Man test pressings. Mike hasn’t told me which titles, but he said 8 different test pressings plus 2 copies of the Chris Wollard / Mike Hale splits. Good luck.

We will have these records in early next week.

Underground Communique Records' catalog added, win test pressings

We are proud to be offering Underground Communique’s vinyl catalog and thanks to Justin of UComm, we will be running a very cool contest to win some of their test pressings.

Just got in all the victory vinyl and most of the pre-orders are going out today. If you have pre-orders for Bomb the Music Industry or Mike Hale / Chris Wollard splits, they will most likely go out tomorrow. If you have pre-orders for the Tim Barry, Drag the River / Dents, Josh Small, or Love Me Destroyer, it will go out in a few weeks. Get in touch if you want your records sooner and we can coordinate adding a shipping charge.

As you can see by the photos, the records look really nice. I really like the Blue used on the Silverstein and Darkest Hour records.

Contest to win Asian Man Records' Test Pressings

We just got in a bunch of Asian Man vinyl back-catalog and somehow I talked Mike Park into us doing some kind of promotion where you can win Asian Man test pressings. It is really simple, you purchase anything by Asian Man (and that includes those of you who have already ordered the Bomb the Music Industry and Mike Hale/Chris Wollard splits) and you will be entered to win a Test Pressing. I know that I will have 2 test pressings from the Chris/Mike split, but other than that, i am not sure what all Mike is sending. I think I will have a better idea come Friday which is the date that I am expecting to get in Bomb the Music Industry and the Mike/Chris splits. To refresh your memory, here are the catalog items I have in for Asian Man vinyl:

BOMB THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! “Get Warmer” LP Picture Disc
Chris Wollard / Mike Hale split 7″ (hot water music, draft, gunmoll)
Link 80 “17 Reasons” LP
Link 80 “The Struggle Continues…” LP
Mu330 “Crab Rangoon” LP
Mu330 “Mu330″ LP
Polysics “Hey Bob” LP picture disc
Slow Gherkin “double happiness” LP
Softball “Tenku” LP
The Chinkees “Peace Through Music” LP
Tuesday “Free Wheelin” LP (Alkaline Trio)

please note that I corrected the Chris/Mike splits with correct art and the correct track listing. There are 4 tracks, not 2. Thanks and good luck.

Also note that this is the start of an effort to get more test pressing giveaways and special contests.

The Winner of our Punknews/VC contest, Evan Weiss

Evan Weiss was so kind as to send us a photo of him with the records he won in our Punk News / Vinyl Collective contest. He also gives us a glimpse into his record collection which if I had to guess is around 1,000 records. For those of you curious at what he picked up with his $100 gift certificate, he got the following:

Reflector “Where Has All the Melody Gone” LP
MINUS THE BEAR “Planet of Ice” dbl LP all 4 color varieties (4 dbl LPs)
JESU/ELUVIUM – SPLIT 12″ white vinyl
Nation of Ulysses “Plays Pretty for Baby” LP
NOFX- The Decline LP
Casket Lottery “Possibilities & Maybes” 2xLP

To give you an idea of how small this world really is, Evan is not only a member of the Progress who are on my good friend Seth Hyman’s label, Negative Progression, he is also my contact at Independent One Stop / Punkstop and has been doing really well with our newest vinyl releases. Thanks Evan for the photo and be warned, Evan claims that he will be the first person to win 2 of our contests in a row!
