Notes

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve always wanted to release a compilation of unreleased tracks by my favourite bands and finally the dream has come true. Back in 2016 I was contacted by C. Worth because I had been identified as ”an artist/performer/ friend/advocate /patron/connoisseur of Unread Records & Tapes & its mastermind, Mr. Christopher Fischer”. I am indeed a huge fan of Unread records, the proud owner of many of many many of their releases and a friend of Chris, so I was invited to organize a celebratory package, a tribute to Unread 200th release.I had no hesitation and I joined the party. The project was ambitious, the final result is something definitive. Almost every Unread recording artist was contacted, in some cases harassed, and invited to donate a song. But C. Worth, Brantley Fletcher, Nick Dolezal, Joel Huschle and I, the editors, curators of the comp. went further and started to invite people and artists we thought could have fitted, artists we thought were in the chords of Christopher Fischer and Unread records and that have never been on Unread. The compilation grew bigger and bigger, day by day, the bulk of contributions was impressive and the compilation ended to be the monster that it is now: a 3xC90 cassette tapes compilation. And this has happened in the course of a few months. Unbelievebale. I haven’t received negative answers apart from a couple of invitations that were left unseen, unheard. Everyone was happy to contribute a song… and the collection of songs here is terrific.

The compilation titled ”Crock Rot” and features some of my favourite artists, that are for the first time on Almost Halloween Time Records: John Davis, Franklin Bruno, Allen Callaci, Simon Joyner, Wio, Jeff Fuccillo, Plundershop, Caleb Fraid, David Nance, Noah Sterba, Mean Spirit’d Robots and I Am The Lake Of Fire. It features old friends of Almost Halloween Time Records: Charlie McAlister, Space Capsules, Ramon Speed, Monogamy, Nicole Kidman, Math, Restaurnaut, Phil Yates, Autopilot, Will Simmons, Ed Gray, Bingo Trappers, Rake Kash, C. Worth, Furniture Huschle and : 3. It features artists with whom I’ve just started to collaborate: The Debts and Lovers Turn To Monster and artists that I’d like to work with one day.

For this series that is limited to 50 copies, I will draw three unique sleeves per copy (for a total of 150 different sleeves, as if I had not already enough things to draw for the other releases). The drawings will be inspired by the songs.

Released May 26, 2017
