Dischord Vinyl Re-issues

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000

This project began when we decided to bring the production of our albums back to the USA after having them made in partnership with Southern Records in Europe for many years. All the albums were then re-cut, either from the Silver Sonya Re-Masters or from the original tapes, at Chicago Mastering Service. Many of these albums feature updated artwork, often from original art pieces and newly found period photos, and some feature bonus tracks.

Holiday Shipping Reminders

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Also be advised that our delivery estimates are based on the date your order is shipped and not the date it is ordered. The vast majority of our packages go out within 48 hours (and in may cases well before that) but once they are out the door a specific delivery date cannot be guaranteed.

Gift Packaging for Vinyl: Please note that Basla routinely removes vinyl albums from their covers before shipping them to prevent the periodic tearing of covers from records moving inside their sleeves. If you're ordering vinyl as a gift and would prefer for the record to remain in its shrink-wrap please include a note and we'll keep it sealed for you.

Daniel Higgs Art Exhibit At Mountian Fold In NYC

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Mountain Fold is pleased to announce the opening of The Hieroglyphic Ideal, a show by Daniel Higgs. In Higgs' paintings and drawings, celestial bodies, plants, internal organs, animals, humans, and other elements from the material realm convene to form a visual symbology. Like hieroglyphs, his art constructs a system that can express emotion and tell stories that are otherwise uncommunicable in extant language. By imbuing the real with the imaginative, he offers a mythological, fantastical interpretation of our present surroundings.

Gallery hours: Wednesday through Saturday 1:00- 7:00pm or by appointment.
