No foolin'. If you, like me, still love vinyl LPs, then you are going to want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get a hold of the vinyl version of the critically acclaimed album "From Atop This Hill" by Christus and the Cosmonaughts. The CD has been out for some time, but I'll confess that this album was conceived and produced for vinyl. From the artwork to the track listing, I always envisioned "From Atop This Hill" as an LP and I am thrilled to know that it will, at long last, be released in its intended format.

Our vaunted label, Beta-lactam Ring Records has just announced that it is taking pre-orders for a very small number of copies, which will ship out late next month. The great majority of these records have been earmarked for inclusion in the sold-out Records Are Not For Baking subscription series, but sixty remaining copies of the LP are up for grabs. You'll get the vinyl LP in its glorious full-color sleeve (my own painting) and a signed, numbered hand-printed illustrated insert as well. This is cool stuff! These copies will sell fast, so don't hesitate to reserve yours. Just make sure you have your headphones ready when it arrives.
