It was recently announced that our friends at Anchorless have partnered with Red Scare to bring the LP/CD/Digital release of the split between Brendan Kelly (of Lawrence Arms) and Joe McMahon (of Smoke or Fire). Anchorless is releasing the LP/Digital formats and Red Scare is releasing the album on CD. We have an update for you about the pre-order. Tomorrow, Tuesday, February 9th, 2010, at 2pm MST your friends at Vinyl Collective will be hosting a pre-order for the LP with a special edition coffee mug. Anchorless will be posting a pre-order of the colored vinyl sometime this week.
The pressing info is as follows:
160 on Transparent Yellow vinyl
300 on White vinyl
The remainder on Black vinyl
The only place you will be able to get the colored vinyl is through Anchorless’ store. Black vinyl will be available through all the normal outlets. We will be posting 100 copies tomorrow with a special edition coffee mug. We are making 150 coffee mugs to go along with this set (100 to go with the vinyl, 50 to be shared between Anchorless, Brendan, and Joe). The Coffee Mugs will have artwork from the release on one side and the Anchorless logo on the other side. Why a coffee mug you ask and not a pint glass? The guys figured a coffee mug will help nurse the hangover after a long night of drinking.
The vinyl will come with a digital download coupon, but chances look good that we will be able to send those who pre-order a copy a link to download the digital version before you receive the vinyl. Still working out the kinks with that, but Anchorless has also been so kind as to donate a test pressing for a test pressing contest. The 100 pre-orders will all be entered for a chance to win the test pressing.
Anchorless hasn’t specified the exact date and time for the pre-order, but it will be this week. We will make a post on our site when the pre-order is up but I am sure someone will beat me to the announcement on our message board.

so…we can order tomorrow to get a black record and a coffee mug or we can order later in the week for a colored record and no coffee mug?
you can do it any way you would like. You could do either or both or none at all. We are the only place to get the coffee mug; anchorless is the only place to get the colored vinyl.
my question exactly..?
Anchorless will have some mugs according to the post! Just not during presale
okay. That is what it sounded like, but I was just confirming because, in my humble opinion, it seemed like there should be a way to order all the limited stuff in one order.
I’ll probably order one from you guys and see how my bank account looks when the colored records are up.
saul, I definitely see what you are saying, but doing it this way was a nice way of Anchorless to allow us to sell a few copies and to do something special for the release.
