Hi all.
Apologies from the admin for falling a bit behind on Edward’s announcements that he posts on Facebook or Bandcamp. Here are some recent messages:
August 22- Tariffs
Truly these are strange times. It hasn’t been (understandably) so much in the news yet but it looks like it will soon be almost impossible to send a package from Europe to America. From August 29 yet another new situation is emerging where if packages arriving in the U.S do not comply exactly with the rather complicated new customs demands, the receiver could be be hit with an $80 to $200 fee. I’m no expert in these matters and I could be wrong here, but it’s ominous that several countries (Belgium,Denmark, Lithuania….) have already declared that postage to the States will be ‘temporarily suspended’ from Monday onwards. Of course it’s devastating for the small bands/artists/painters/musicians who rely upon the support of friends in America to simply survive. Seriously, the crap just never lets up….
Thankfully we’re crossing the pond in less than a month’s time so anyone who orders anything from the Dots will receive their package as we’ll carry them with us (within reason)on the plane and send from Denver. As for the future….. who knows….We’ll figure this out.
August 23- US Tour
With the Legendary Pink Dots’ North American Tour creeping ever closer, it feels like a timely moment for some unapologetic promotion- especially as tickets for some of the West Coast shows are disappearing fast! We’re also delighted to be taking a dear old Dots’ friend Dre on tour with us who will be handling the merc table!
August 14- Only Dreaming on vinyl
Our earliest footsteps are being re-traced in a most spectacular way thanks to this small label in Germany. ‘ Only Dreaming‘ pressed on vinyl filled with liquid , anybody? Truly, the stuff of dreams…The music dates back 45 years, the format suggests a date far off in the dreamy future…
from the label Minimalkombinat:
new release, coming later this year:
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS – only dreaming
(mk173 / vinyl album plus CD)
this project needs absolutely no explanation I guess….
so legendary that they put the „legendary“
into their name from day one.
speaking of day one, I will release the first ever LPD tape from 1981
on my little label, available for the very first time on vinyl and cd
in its entirety.
„only dreaming“? yeah, thats the title of the tape,
but what you read here is reality…!!
I am eternally grateful that mastermind edward ka-spel gave me
the permission to release this after he felt in love with my idea
for the artwork instantly.
the releases will be available in two different editions, check pics:
version I: 180g bi-colored vinyl album plus CD.
version II: deluxe boxset edition with LIQUID-FILLED vinyl album plus CD.
Comment in Mario’s Facebook post (Scroll down to the August 13th post) or message him if interested in either version.
