For our next 12" on Thrill Jockey (out in February) we will be doing the same thing as last time (screenprinting on thrifted/y covers)
with one big difference!!! you can send in your own cover to be slathered in beautiful paint-- one thing to keep in mind-- the design will stay the same, only the letters will be inverted... that is the record cover you choose will be painted, letting the letters show through
details below:
Here's how it works:
1) You pick a jacket out and mail it here:
Thrill Jockey Records
P.O. Box 08038
Chicago, IL 60608
2) On the inside of the jacket you need to write your name, address,
and email. This is how we will identify which one is yours when you
place your order.
3) When you place your order with our mail order department, be
sure to include MY JACKET in the order message. We will then match up
your details and send you your unique copy!
4) As an added bonus for our special mail order customers, if
you include $5 and a t-shirt or hoodie, we will have your article of
clothing screenprinted and turned into a piece of unique Javelin merchandise and sent back with your record!
Feel free to send in your jacket as soon as you like - no need to wait
until you've ordered the records. As long as you follow the above
instructions, we'll make sure your 12" comes in the record jacket you
sent.
For more information/instructions, please email: orders@thrilljockey.com
"Number Two" is set for release on February 16th and everyone
who sends in a jacket will be notified in advance of when they can
actually place the order. Of course, if you'd rather cast your lot with
Fate, we'll be printing up a handful of random jackets just like last
time as well.
