IMPORTANT NOTE 1: Anna Logue Records will have a vacation closedown until Thursday, December 27th, 2007. Anyway, feel free to send your orders/messages, they will be processed once Anna is back. Please always make sure to include your address with any order.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: Due to much more bureaucracy and important family- and job-related obligations in 2008, Anna Logue Records will probably not be able to provide the same service no more that you were used to, that is in particular the super fast communication and instant shipping of paid goods. It might be that most of the label work must be set back to the weekends, so please understand that your requests/orders might not be replied to on the same day or if your order takes a few days to be shipped. Hope you will understand.
—- ONLINE SHOP—-
Anna has added numerous new items to her Shop section, among them the super fresh MARTIAL CANTEREL Refuge Underneath CD and V/A Trumpett Days LP. As always worth to throw a glance at:

—- DISTRIBUTION—-
So far, unfortunately the releases from Anna Logue Records are available in very few countries only. Please ask you local dealers, mailorders and distributors to carry the releases in case they are not available in your country, i.e. overseas. Until now, apart from direct ordering you can get the releases in/from:
Germany: Back Again, Hörsturz, Infrarot, Kernkrach, TuT/RuR
France: Vulcanoid, to some extent: Bimbo Tower
Sweden: Börft
—- PRICE POLICY (or behind-the-scenes)—-
Please note that the new releases have a pretty much increased price in comparison to the earlier releases. The main reason is that Anna Logue Records want to provide high quality products only. Therefore the vinyl records are pressed at a superior record pressing plant which is both more expensive and located outside of Germany. Other components like artwork, protective sleeves or photos are ordered from individual suppliers due to quality reasons and also wanting to support small local companies. Therefore, many costs are arising that other comparable labels might not have when getting a release from one company directly.
The most important change occurring for 2008 though is, that Anna Logue Records cannot be run anymore as a small-scale enterprise, meaning that Anna Logue Records has a double bill on the new releases by having had to pay tax for goods produced in 2007 (normal entrepreneurs will get this money returned) and also needing to pay tax again for the same goods when being sold in 2008. Without an increase in price for these four new releases, Anna Logue Records could hardly go on. Hope you will understand.
—- OUTLOOK & GOOD BYE—-
Of course, Anna wouldn’t want to let the year pass without expressing her sincere gratitude to everyone who supported Anna Logue Records in 2007 – you’ve made it a successful year! Also a big thank you is due to all the participating bands for their enthusiasm, understanding and patience. It was a pleasure to work with you!
Next year shall be no less entertaining by releasing bands from Italy, Germany, Greece, New Zealand and the UK … so much to do, so little time though ...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and as always all the very best wishes!
