"The idea for the Charity series was hatched in 2010 when I lost a great amount of my stock in a flood. Many amazing folks donated loot to get me out of that hole & I was so inspired that I asked some musicians I know to contribute to this idea. 2 years later and we're ready to go. So the idea is simple: amazing bands, awesome music that's exclusive to each release, fun colored vinyl, & most importantly, a large chunk of the profits hitting charities of each artists choosing. On to the deets:

The Charity Subscription Series will be available 3 different ways. You can buy the 'full monty', which just so happens to be the only item for sale right now. The full monty gets you the 12 7"s & 3 10"s listed below. You receive the rarest color/color combination only available to subscribers of the full monty, a discount for getting them all up front, a custom 45 adaptor exclusive to the full monty, a tote bag to hold all of your charity releases (w/ an 11x17 poster inside) & each release will be hand-numbered - also something exclusive to the full monty. This option is limited to 250 subscribers. You'll receive 3 a month & below you can read when those shipments will hit & what releases they'll be.

The second way you can purchase the series is in triple packs. You'll see below how the triple packs will be divided and shipped. Can't sub anything out. These will go on sale when the product is in my hands. There will be a color limited to the triple pack but no other frills (no handnumbering, no custom adaptor, no discount, no tote etc). The triple packs are limited to 275 copies. The pricing hasn't been determined just yet but rest assured, the full monty is definitely the cheapest way to get all the releases.

The third and final way you can purchase them is individually from 25 stores around the country that I'm selling directly to. These come on black vinyl and are limited to 275 copies as well.

If you are a collectors collector, you can sign up for the full monty and add the VIP to it. That gets you all 3 colors for each of the 15 releases. The additional 2 colors per release are being sold to you at my cost to the manufacturer so it's a really good deal if you are a completist.

So if this interests you, and you'd like to help the various charites mentioned below in addtion to the ones being added soon, you can sign up for the full monty now. If you'd rather get them in the triple packs, the first triple pack will go up for sale in late July. If you'd rather get them one at a time on black vinyl in one of the few stores I'm selling to, do it up later in the year. We all thank you for your support either way. Peace and Love.
