The time from lacquer mastering to pick-up of completed records was exactly one month. I was amazed a record could be completed so quickly and nearly swore off printed labels thereafter because of it. Actual rubber-stamping on tour was done on an as-needed basis...anywhere from the merch table to the van or hotel rooms, seemed like we always had just barely enough to get us through that night's show. Because of the ambiguity of the stamps I think a lot of people saw these at the shows and passed on it without asking or figuring out what it was.
I saw it...along with $30 shirts I think. No thanks. Like the band but I ain't paying that much for merch. I bought a Spits shirt for $10 instead I believe
