ErstDist late summer sale

[jon abbey]

in order to raise some funds to pay the constant inflow of bills and keep the busy release schedule going (I am hoping to put out as many as 15-16 more releases by the end of 2013, between Erstwhile, ErstSolo, ErstLive, ErstAEU and Gravity Wave), I'm having an ErstDist sale, starting immediately and running through midnight EST on September 15th.

the way this will work is that you select 7 items, and you pay for 5, with the cheapest two of your choices being free. for every 5 you pay for, you get two free ones. this applies to everything that I stock, including Erstwhile releases, with the only exceptions being any new releases which have arrived since May 1 (as listed on the site), but besides that, everything I have in stock now is part of the sale. Erstwhile single CDs are $12, double CDs are $19. while any May/June/July/August/Sept ErstDist new arrivals are not part of the sale, they can of course be combined with a sale order to save shipping. as far as 2012 Erstwhile releases, 065 can be included in the sale, but 066-2, ES003-2, and EL009-012 cannot be, sorry.

anyone taking advantage of this sale, when you're placing your order, please list your items in order from most expensive to least expensive. that will make it much easier for me to process, and figure out which items are free. thanks a lot!

the full catalog is on the web at:

http://www.erstwhilerecords.com/distro.html

there are explicit ordering instructions on that page, but please e-mail me at this address (erstrecs@aol.com) before sending a check or using PayPal, so that I can put aside your order for you and tell you the precise price including shipping charges, as I only have a few of many of these titles.

==================================================================

thanks a lot for reading and/or ordering. your support, as always, is both essential and deeply appreciated. thanks!

ErstDist sale song:

fully improvised lyrics, also I never picked up a guitar before tonight, and anyone who has talked to me will quickly realize that accent is for the benefit of the song and not my normal voice.

[jon abbey]

[howsthatsound]

jon, do you foresee EL011: Keith Rowe September, and EL012: Radu Malfatti/Taku Unami, being available by the end of the sale period? trying to get as much stuff as possible in one go. thanks.

[jon abbey]

no, not even close. those won't be out until the first week of October, sale ends 9/15 (Saturday).

[howsthatsound]

ah, too bad. thanks

[jon abbey]

yeah, sorry, EL011/012 are my last releases of 2012, and given that I've put out five other discs since early April (and none before that for 4-5 months, and likely now none after that for at least 3-4 months), I'm trying to spread them out at least a bit. it still will be all seven 2012 releases within six months (early April to early October).

[jkudler]

" with the only exceptions being any new releases which have arrived since May 1"

this applies to both distro items and erstwhile releases?

thanks,
jesse

[jon abbey]

yessir, although that's June 6 now on the most recent list.

basically the 2012 Ersts (except the Neumann/Jones) and whatever is explicitly listed with dates at the top of the ErstDist page is off limits, everything else is eligible.

[jon abbey]

and to clarify even more, items which have been stocked before (like the AMM titles) are eligible despite arriving recently, just not titles I'm stocking for the first time.

18 hours left, get those orders in!!

[jon abbey]

thanks very much to everyone who participated!!!
