New Release Schedule...
Hi Everyone,
So I have been banging on about all the deliveries and releases we have coming, and thought I should do a blog that gets into specifics a little bit...And this is that blog. All your questions are answered below!
But before we go any further, I want to emphasise this is very much a schedule of releases based on unreliable information lol. I mean, we have been given delivery dates for a HUGE number of releases. We have been told FOURTEEN releases are arriving at the end of March, and a week later, on the 4th of April, another FIFTY are apparently going to be delivered, and then another TWELVE in May.
We have also been told of releases in February, and to be fair, so far they have been pressed and shipped correctly, only slowed by customs shenanigans. So there is a good chance the below schedule will work out. But even then, it has HUGE gaps in it, and things may need to move around. Plus some things just arent on there because of a change in the pressing plants systems - so there is no mention of Dj Solo for example, but that was due this month and could come at any time. Take this all with a pinch of salt, is what I am saying. It is a guideline at best...
So let me break it down for you. First up, we are expecting ALL the pre-sale items to arrive by early April. That is The Baraka Bundle, The Ray Keith Box Set, The House Crew Box Set, The Liquid Lethal Bundle and the long awaited Jonny L Remixes. All of these will get absolute priority. Indeed, we are splitting the work so that Lee will be entirely focussed on those. As soon as they come in, they will be packed and shipped.
We are also waiting on the final repress of Champion Sound (Alliance Remix). Again, top priority will be getting those to the people still waiting. We did have a few arrive - just under 100 in total. I dont know why they did it that way, but what we have we have sent.
Meanwhile, I will be dealing with the new releases directly, along with my wife Cindy and The Lowercase. Between us, we are getting everything we can ready, every element in place from storage space to packaging suppplies to...you name it. We intend to get as many of these records out to you as humanly possible and are prepared to be all hands on deck for the next 2-5 months lol.
But of course, we cannot sell all those releases at once. No one can afford it, and it would be impossible to do even if they could. And we don't know what is actually going to arrive and be sellable at any one time or on any one date. So what we have had to do is to try and spread out the biggest releases - that is the box sets - and then fill in the blanks based on what we suspect will happen. This means the only real CERTAIN release dates on this list are the two box sets - Dj Force & The Evolution and Daddy Armshouse. Because they are box sets, and more expensive, they need space between them, and because we have a rough idea of when they will come, we will put them up for sale on these dates even if they haven’t arrived just yet (unless they are obviously going to be late). As a side note, we intend to do as mentioned - cheaper price for the first week where can, and bring down box set prices a little where we can as well :)
Everything else on this list depends on the records arriving and being good to go. So anyway…this is what the roll out is looking like:
March 3rd:
TEST PRESSES - KF230/KF231/KF232/KF233 Moondance Set (We only have about 30 of these as test presses, with labels and KF Promo sleeves! And can I add - the tracklisting on this is incredible!!! I am not sure it can get bigger than this...)
TEST PRESSES - PTDUB06 & PTDUB07 - Dj Rap - Spiritual Aura (We only have 8 of each of these, and the Blame remix is so good that it is already the stuff of legends...)
March 10th:

KJAL11 - Just Another Artist & Sunshine Productions - Billy Bunter & J.D.S. Remixes

* We may well put this up even if its not here yet, because its a weird one, with unusual circumstances. Those who had to wait a long time for the box set will get offered it first, and will pay postage costs only. Those who bought the Box Set but did not have to wait will be offered it at a cheaper than usual price. Customers will be contacted directly via email about this one. Whatever is left will be sold on the store at the normal price.

All of the above will come in when it does, and be moved to wherever suits. I like to keep things together where I can. So all the Hectics will go up the same day, likewise all the KJALs and etc. And i will spread things out as best i can over the next 2-5 months. But this blog is more to serve as a general idea of what is coming, and to keep you on your toes lol. The only truly reliable things are the March 3rd release date, and the two Box Sets in April. The KJAL bundle on the 10th of march is also very likely. All the rest are probable, but you know, anything could happen...
Lastly, yes, we are still planning to add the layaway option. We are hoping to test that this week (offline) and assuming it works, bring it in AFTER the March 3rd tps are sold.
Nice one,
Chris
