That's nice.

The LP is being sent to the pressing plant next week, by the way. Just thought everyone would know. We finished mastering both the 12" and the 7", and are doing final touches on the sleeves.

Well Batshit you obviously don't see the other 99% who already got their records posting about them being missing, so give the post office time and when it lands, post it here.

I can't deliver them personaly myself clearly, post office is third party I can't control, so wait for everything to clear just like you did with the Razors LPs (I don't remember anyone was left in the dust in the end). I would have thought by now, the label is old enough for people to trust we're not like some others who ran pre-orders and bite the dust leaving everyone stranded.

Sue me for being late, but hey, the end product always worth it.

Hi doug, The WC3 is going to press in early june. Regarding your LP as I emailed you in private, it was sent along with all the other orders. Since it didn't show up, I'm mailing you a replacement copy tomorrow.

Regarding the LTD edition, it's not oversold, we still have about 200 copies left, so if anyone didn't get his, we'll replace it right away.

On a huge number of packages, there's always going to be the odd ones "lost". Just to show it can happen to anyone, the guy who is issuing the forthcoming Metal Urbain biography book didn't receive his. So I'm resending it to him, with tracking number, and he is in france of all places, and working with us.

We don't have any copies left of the black vinyl by the way, that one is sold out, but the ltd edition still in stock.

I know with the internet and smaller labels doing ltd runs, paranoia can go high these days, but as I say, we may be late, but we always deliver.

I wish I could use a professional mailing service, and that is probably what will happen this fall, in the meantime, these are done the DIY way. Enjoy the records when they get there


PS: may was a month full of holidays resulting in half week work for the post office week in, week out, so it could explain slower despatch. If within 15 days, one have nothing, email us and we'll sort it out.

OK, we've now shipped all the MU orders, and are moving up to this release.

Right now, we have finished the front sleeve, finishing the back, gotten the SACEM authorisation to press, and are working on restoring the original single sleeve + mastering the single.

We intend to send to press at the end of the month.

We'll keep you posted.

Hi, it's all out of the gate now, and we're going into the WC3 release.

I'm guessing your will get the rest of the packages within 10 days Ethan, we deposited the last lot last week at the PO.

WC3 will be easier because we have fewers orders.

Also please note that due to the new way we put up the releases, there's always will be a 3/4 months runabout time between the pre-orders and the shipping of the records. Once the minimum amount is reached, it's at least three months to send to master, send to press, check on the test pressings, greenlight the press, having the discs shipped, packing them and sending them.

We're thinking of using a mail company in the future, so that everything ship at once and not over a period of weeks, but this would be a burden on an already very tight ship. Here's hoping the final products you receive are worth the wait.

Hello, nope, it just always take a while to process all orders and we are just a small home made label. So some people get it before others, and of course others become impatient since the releases are great.

Sorry about some of the shops receiving before others, we sent most of the stuff and run out of packages, so had to wait for more packages to arrive, and the provider did not get us ours, so we had to order from an alternate place.

All the remaining orders (about 20 of them) will be shipped this week. We have three shops left to send their copies.

We only have about 260 copies left out of a pressing of 1000. You can understand how it's a scramble to fulfill all orders.

Anyone who do not receive their package, we either resend or refund (or even both at the same time, trusting the customer to pay when he finally get the records). Guilty was about the same thing, over 400 packages to send, ultimately, everyone got theirs.

Remember, the record have only been in stock for a month, and shipping overseas is a 5 days to 10 days thing (we send as small packages). The red vinyl + 7" take more time to gather because all the press crates were mixed, so we had to sort out the black from the red copies, then put the 7" packages together. No worry, everyone should get theirs within the next 15 days, it will be in the hands of the post office.

Anyone who have worries can MP us and we will check out their order state.

People who just recently paypaled, you understand your orders will be filled last, so no worry if you didn't get yours yet. It's probably ready to ship this week.

Thanks, it's all done and we're waiting shipping, however, we have many shops who reserved copies so there will be very few copies left. Like the 2004 release which went sold out in three weeks, this one will not last long. So if you want copies, PM me and I'll direct you to a french shop selling those, or get them direct from us.

I asked the band, and it seems some of them might have got rid of their copy, so your's probably one of the 5 they got, unless of course a record company guy got one too.

There's also an even rarer version, that is the first maxi-single, but WITH Captain' Valium. As far as we know, only a test pressing exists, and it has appeared on Ebay.

54% and counting. Anyone want a copy of the original first 100 run with the banned single, act now before the record shops comes in, they will snatch the last copies and I'm guessing they will by the dozen.

Already 41% in five days !

Here's some funny press clips to remember the WC3 by

november 4, 1982 / New Musical Express
Stripes stripped
The Perfec Zebra's Paris debut ended before it begar - when all their equipement was destroyed on stage.
WC 3, the French punk support group, damaged ?5,000 worth of Zebra equipement, said a Perfect Zebra spokesperson. Under French law, no one can be held financially responsible for the outrage, she added. To make matters worse, the gig, at the prestigious Palace, had been specially arranged in front of numerous French journalists - which is perhaps why those naughty continential punks did it.

novembre 6, 1982 - Melody Maker
High drama in Paris last week when upcoming London band PERFECT ZEBRAS arrived there for a prestigious showcase gig at Le Palace. Knackered after a 16-hour drive from Berlin, they tumbled into the theatre to set up their equipment and do their soundcheck to be confronted by irate local support band WC3.
The frogs apparently throught they sould be headlining and there ensured a furious bout of fingerwagging and Gallic cursing. When they finally stopped laying into the Zebras equipment, the bass guitarist performing a Chainsaw Massacre job on their Simmons electronic drum equipment.
A french roadie dashed on to restrain them, a Zebras roadie dashed on and took out the French roadie, and the two of them fell off stage scattering amps as they fell. When the smoke cleared the Zebras counted up ?5.000 worth of damage and severely injured pride as they realised they driven across Europe for a gig they were ultimately unable to play because of a nutty French bass player. Full unexpurgated version next week ....

We launched our next presale, which is a colored vinyl edition of A 3 DANS LES WC- CONTAGION - VINYL LP + banned 7" single + CD

You might be familiar with A 3 DANS LES WC throught our old CD digipack release of their punk era demos, and their track "Contagion" which was the lead track on Born Bad "Bipp" compilation. This first time vinyl release is a colored mini LP

Face A

A1. Contagion
A2. A trois dans les WC
A3. Usine

Face B

B1. Photo Couleur
B2. Moderne

As a bonus, the first 100 copies will feature a repro of the infamous banned single Captain' Valium, in the original mix (different from the demos we issued on CD), with an alternate b-side, in red vinyl 7". This single was produced but banned and all but 5 copies survived, when the record company got cold feet over the lyrics content

Face A

A1. Captain' Valium

Face B

B1. Twist & Shot

+ free CD with booklet (NO digipack) in all 500 copies.

As usual you can reserve your copy through Ulule here:

http://www.ulule.com/wc3/

You will not be charged unless the minimum of 100 pre-sales is reached.

Next month we will have some MKB Fraction Provisoire vinyl reissue going. Our precedent pre-sales release ship in about two weeks.

Took a while to set it all in motion due to the holidays period. It's finally on.

The bonus single is going to the press next week. We finished the labels which are near exact repros of the originals. This will be awesome.

LP should ship in about 15 days. It will be available in the US through many outlets, thought only in black vinyl, no added 7" or CD. You can order the ltd to 300 ex red vinyl with added single on our website thought.

Stores contact me, and I'll direct you to the people handling our foreign orders (they are french record store).
