FALL 2012 newsletter
As some of you know, we recently starting offering some of our back catalog for sale digitally on bandcamp.com. We will continue this campaign going forward when possible (sometimes the digital rights are elsewhere). When possible, if we do sell the files digitally, they will be available as free downloads with purchase of the LP on bandcamp. In developing news, we are teaming up with Clone to offer the same files in a number of venues in the coming months (itunes, amazon, etc etc). Stay tuned and check this page often:

And now on the new stuff and release schedule upcoming:
MR-016 Tony Carey “Explorer and Yellow Power” double LP - This double 160gram colored gatefold sleeve collection should be released around early to mid december (great holiday present!). Featuring both classic and long out of print LPs, fans of proggier disco, synth, and sheer dancefloor magic must own this collection. Featuring new back and cover art but with the original front covers of the 2 LPs in the gatefold, it is going to be gorgeous. This will be available at a special price and will be sold digitally as well (with free download on bandcamp with 2LP purchase). Both of these records were bootlegged some years ago but even the boots are mostly out of print (and with severely inferior sound quality…). Excited! The release will feature a bonus insert with liner notes by Dave Segal. Limited to 1000 hand-numbered copies. Preorders and email will come out end of next month.
MR-017 Gina X Performance “Nice Mover” LP - This record needs no introduction. The amazing, seedy, gender-bending masterpiece from the mastermind of producer Zeus B Held. Featuring the ubiquitous “No G.D.M.” hit, this was in dire need of a good reissue. Original copies are becoming scarce with rising prices (with most being in Europe currently). The source material has been premastered by Zeus himself with amazing results. The release will feature a bonus insert with liner notes by Kurt B. Reighley. Limited to 650 copies on 180gram colored vinyl with hand-numbering on the sleeve. February 2013.
MR-018 Mathematiques Modernes “Les Visiteurs Du Soir” LP - Also in February 2013 at the same time as Gina X Performance. Classic and crucial French new wave masterpiece. Absurdly out of print and quite rare to find an original at this point. Contains the amazing “Disco Rough” single as well as 8 more gems. Excellent remastering of the source material from the master tapes by Gilbert Castro at Celluloid in France. It sounds fantastic! This prize will be limited to 1000 copies and released on 180gram colored vinyl. Possible insert with interview but details not finalized as of yet.
MR-019 I Signori Della Galassia “Iceman” LP - 1979 rare Italian space-disco LP that has been a cult classic amongst the “heads” for some time. Incredibly diverse LP of space disco anthems, synth warbles, and dancefloor stompers mixed in with the occasional ballad and prog jam. We are very excited to offer this LP to the world again for your enjoyment. Should be released in April or so. Details on pressing number, etc TBA
