The idea behind the series is to create a limited, highly collectible release on vinyl. In this day and age of digital madness and file-swapping and mp3 downloads, we love the idea of creating a truly analog experience for the diehard fan. Each EP has roughly 8-12 minutes per side, and has material exclusive to the series. Each release is limited to 2000 copies worldwide. One-thousand copies are numbered on black vinyl for distribution in the United States. Five-hundred copies are pressed on colored vinyl for European distribution, and the final five-hundred copies are on clear vinyl, to be sold in a boxed set once the series has run its course. Plans for the boxed set include a poster, all 10-12 of the 10" EPs in the series, and one 10" exclusive to the set. The boxed set is slated to be released in late 2004 or early 2005.
Mark Kozelek's "Duk Koo Kim" was the inaugural release, which has SOLD OUT in the U.S. - blue vinyl copies will be available overseas in mid-September, 2003.
Our second release, Low's "Murderer," will be released worldwide (numbered black vinyl in the U.S., red vinyl in Europe) in mid-September, 2003. Check your local vinyl store and tell them it is distributed by Secretly Canadian so they can order it for you. Online copies can be ordered at www.pastemusic.com in mid-September as well (supplies are extremely limited).
