You'll probably right... I probably should have shelled out the extra $10 to get them to them 3 or 4 days faster...but I'm already losing money on these, so I start thinking about doing things on the cheap. Y'know?

The records were sent at least a couple weeks ago...I sent them the cheapest way possible, because Canada post upped their rates again. I also sent you guys more copies than I said I was going to originally. I coulda put these up a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to wait till you guys got your copies...I was pretty sure that if they hadn't arrived by now, they'd get there this week.

Yeah...I took forever to get these done, etc. But I had bigger things going on, and all this stuff had to get put aside. I'm not making any money on this stuff...now that I've got time, I'm just trying to break even on each project, so I can do the next, and hopefully things get better with each one.

It did take me forever to get this one out...I apologize for that...but I wan't trying to fuck you around. You really think I'd screw you guys around for a year on 75 records that cost waaay too much to do up, only to sell 'em for $5 on the internet, bhind your back...to your friends. I'm not fucking anyone around...I just had a really lousy year, and I'm finally finishing up all the stuff I had on hold, and getting onto some new projects.

It's live on the radio...and actually sound pretty decent...althought the vocals could be a little louder. I actually think that ultra limited records are pretty lame....but like I said before, most of the pressings I'm doing will probably satisfy the demand. I've still got 100 copies of records I did 10 years ago, sitting in my basement, and I don't have room for that shit. I figure I'll do a few small presses of stuff I'd like to see come out...and when I've got the money, I'll start putting out some decent sized runs again...

Well that's it exactly...I'll be pressing up mostly demo and live stuff...most of the bands don't even really want this stuff out there in quantity, and the only people who will really be interested in buying the records, are big fans of the band.

Fact is...with most of the other releases I'm doing up...there aren't gonna be more than 50, or 75 people that will want a copy. This one was an experiment...and it probably should have been done in higher numbers...but what doya do?

I was gonna say to all the West coasters that Clay was on the ball this morning...not only was he one of the first to buy this record...I had TWO Myspace messages from him before I got to work...and he's an hour behind me!

I'll throw the rest up in the next couple days. I gotta see how many are left...the band got 20 copies, I sold 10 at my DJ night this weekend, and then 20 this morning. That only leaves like 25 copies...

No these are limited to 75 copies only...all on clear w/ screened covers. I'm gonna be doing a buncha stuff like this this summer. Mostly unreleased, demo and live stuff by bands I dig....in quantities of 100 or less. Stuff that probably wouldn't come out otherwise, or that the bands don't want out there in large quantities. This one was my screening experiment too (me and my buddy Ian pushing ink in the laundry room)...learned alot...so the sleeves on the next release will look alot better.

Holy shit...I listed these before I left for work, and they were all gone when I got here. You Fuckers are up early! I guess, looking at all the people who bought 'em...you're all pretty far east. I guess I fucked the West Coasters by listing 'em so early in the morning...

I didn't throw the shipping in the description because it's different if I'm shipping to The States, Overseas, and within Canada. It's just easier for me to say that the buyer pys the actual shipping, andthen to send them an invoice...It won't come to $4 shipping, so I'll refund you the difference.

So...I've got copies of the Busy Signals "Radio" 7" for sale. This thing is limited to 75 copies on clear, with  hand screened sleeves...and once those are gone, there will be no more. This one's got two songs from some live, radio sessions that the band did a while back, and it's the first release on my Fan Klub Records imprint. Everything here is hand made...this was my first experiment in screening sleeves...so they're far from perfect, but they still look cool, and you get something with a personal touch on it. Once these copies are gone...they're gone. Don't miss out. I've got a buncha similar releases coming out this summer...keep an eye out.

ONE COPY PER BUYER...I WON"T SHIP MULTIPLE COPIES TO SINGLE BUYERS!

These are a little pricey at $5.25 plus postage...but they'll be sold out by tomorrow. For the sake of simplicity (on my part) I've listed 20 copies with a fixed price on Ebay, here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=003&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=130089296767&rd=1&rd=1

I will list more later. Remember...ONE COPY PER BUYER...I WON"T SHIP MULTIPLE COPIES TO SINGLE BUYERS.
