Black Editions Records have been a mainstay at Birdman Sound since their first release 11 years ago pertaining to the legendary Japanese PSF records catalogue. Their issues are flawless, super high quality presentation and never cheap. IMHO they raised the bar on LP releases in every way right from the get go! I've moved easily 150 + LPs combined artists since their lift off on obscure, rare and wonderful Japanese underground music (for the most part) both old and new. Last week, the label announced a rare jewel in a crown from
White Heaven ❤ and an album entitled "Next To Nothing" originally issued on wax only in Japan and ltd. to 250 copies in 1994 ! Also unique is White Heaven on this record as a 2 guitar outfit numbering as a 5-piece !!! Let's cut to the chase here.... Out physically in May this year and from a Canadian perspective, pulling the trigger through Bandcamp today as a pre-order (extortionist shipping rates), to my postal code, this 2 LP set will get landed at my door for $ 97.50 Canadian. HOLY FUCK ! 💣 Of course given the political shit show currently ongoing everywhere but particularly in the USA and coupled with money hungry gov't shit and post covid claw back, there is guaranteed to be customs charges. By calculation of tax and handling on the figure above, that will likely add another $ 15. at the least. In theory this essential High Rise LP could run you in the vicinity of $ 115. (cough, gasp, choke) Birdman Sound will carry this here in Ottawa and it will run you $ 88. tax included. Best I got eh ! If you even give a fuck, support local and defo support the fucking entity that's striven to give you the deepest dives for decades between records, radio and live shows...just fucking sayin'....at this rate the general record business is on the eve of destruction once again as all external forces are pricing even the hardiest consumers straight outta the racket. Going back to the CD format is fucking weak...White Heaven and Black Editions RULE and so does Birdman Sound...💀
