ordering information
from time to time we carry distributed titles. click here to see what titles we happen to currently have in stock.
interested in downloads only? most three lobed titles are available for download through bandcamp (the best source if you want lossless files or want to the stream the entire album prior to purchase), FINA music (click through the link to see a full listing of currently available titles) as well as most of the other traditional sites (iTunes, Amazon mp3, eMusic, etc.).
all prices listed are in US dollars and include shipping inside the US (USPS first class for CDs, USPS media mail for LPs). any domestic order can upgrade to USPS priority mail service by adding a flat fee of $2.50 for CDs and $4.00 for the first LP ordered (add $2 for each additional LP).
all vinyl albums are shipped in new LP mailers with padding placed on both sides of the album within the package. all vinyl ships outside of the LP cover to prevent seam splitting.
shipping is a little different for packages to be shipped to canada - add $5.00 to the prices listed below for the first CD ordered for service by USPS first class mail international (and $3 for each additional CD). for LP shipping, add $11.00 to the prices listed below for the first record and $4 for each additional record.
shipping is different yet again for packages directed to any non-US or non-canadian location. add $7.00 to the prices listed below to your first CD ordered for service by USPS first class mail international (and $3.50 for each additional CD). for LP shipping, add $18.00 to the prices listed below for the first record ($13 for gatefold LPs or double LPs) and $5 for each additional record (up to a total of three records). for four or more LPs, please contact us for shipping options.
