A compilation of the emieltapes <_http://www.kapotski.be/index.php?/archives/13-Emieltapes.html_> concerts we did at the Vooruit in Ghent. The release will be a 12" vinyl feat. Kapotski ++++++. We're gonna distribute it in a 'shop dropping' style. Which means we'll be putting the record in record stores around the globe. If someone 'finds' one it will be clearly marked that this record is not for sale and belongs to the lucky finder. And it doesn't stop there. Every record will have a unique ID. With that ID you'll be able to log on to a tracking site. On that site you can say where and when you found a record and maybe tell a little about yourself. The site is meant to last at least 20 or 30 years. When a record changes owner you'll be able to follow it on the tracking site... So, if you wanna help distribute this record by secretly placing some in your local record store please get in touch.

It's between 2nd and 3rd, and I think they'd be willing to sell you a bare box if you wanted. On 10/29/07, douglas repetto wrote: > > > There's not much retail in NYC for this sort of thing.
