The Anthill Mob - Penelope's Theme - Presale (Sunday 22nd June)
Hello Everyone,
Its been a while since I did a blog, but it seemed to me a blog would be the best way to explain a few things about the much vaunted Anthill Mob release on Kniteforce. Obviously we are thrilled and excited to be bringing this absolute classic to you!
So, lets do the important details!
1. The Pre Sale opens at 7pm on Sunday Night on the Kniteforce site.
2. There will be two versions available, a limited editition Pink vinyl, and a black vinyl.
3. All the tracks have been lovingly remastered and sound gorgeous!
Here is a little image for you to enjoy...
And now to address the obvious questions!
When will the presale end?
When the record arrives. If we sell all of the stock we have currently ordered, the presale will continue. But if you are purchasing after that point, it will say on the item page that we are now into a second run when you go to order.
When is it going to arrive and be shipped?
I expect the first batch, the color and the black, to arrive within the next 4 weeks. The color will not be repressed.
Why are you doing a presale?
Ok, so I know a lot of peole want this EP - but how many is a lot? Its always difficult to guess, and with this one its bscially impossible. I have already placed the order for the records, but...if I do a presale, it means that I can up the order if needed and peop[le will not have to wiat so long to have the record in their hands.
Why are you doing the presale on its on a Sunday, when you release non KF music, instead of the usual Thursday with other KF releases?
Well, one of the downsides of a presale is that if someone orders a presale record and a bunch of other records in the same order, the entire order has to wait until the presold record arrives and is shipped.
Thats not ideal for anyone really. But it is what it is.
So I decided to release it on a Sunday so that other KF releases don't get stalled in our warehouse wating for Anthill Mob to arrive. I know many of you will order this presale and some other things, and thats fine - obviously, we understand wanting to save on postage, but I also thought this way might just be...cleaner. Having said that, we do have the massive repress of Gappa G & Hyper Hypa - "The Information Center" original and remixes coming next week (26th June), alongside some new Nookie EPs and the long awaited "Dreams" EP from Koncept...so we totally understand if you want to hang back and pick up the Anthill Presale when you grab those as well.
Will the site crash?
Haha...right, okay, this is another reason I wanted to write this blog. We did move the site to a new server, and then last night with the epic 2-X-Treme Remixes EP the site kinda failed again. Believe it or not, this was a different fail to previous issues, which is why we were able to fix it swiftly.
Previously, our website was on a single server, and once it was overwhelmed, that was that.
This time, our website was spread on a few servers, and when it failed, we were able to add other servers to cope with it, and after they came online, it was smooth sailing.
We are keeping those servers up for Sunday and for the forseeable future.
The reason the site failed last night was simply that we misjudged what we would need. Previously, all we knew was "thats too many people" but now we know what we need. So....the site wont crash.
I hope lol.
So anyway, thats all the info for today - thank you for reading my blog, and I will see you on the Sunday video. or...you will see me! Thats more accurate. Unless you don't watch it, and thats fair enough lol.
Nice one,
Chris
