 Package3:  

  BOOK & 7IN $30 SOLD OUT

  BOOK $25

 

This book compiles every issue's entire contents, including interviews, reviews, columns, tour diaries, etc. All issues were scanned from the originals, with the exception of issue #6(where the original was lost). Also included is an issue of Straight to the Point (A zine the TOH author did in the late 80's), a bonus interview, the original TOH 7" layout, TOH adds and whatever else TOH related we could fit in there. Over 300 pages!!

 

As if the book wasn't enough, we are including a 7" with 500 copies of the book. This 7" features unreleased live tracks from Fucked Up at CBGB's and Think I Care at Sound & Fury 06'. We also are offering a package which includes a Town of Hardcore shirt. These shirts will be limited to preorders only. Speaking of preorders, there will be 200 copies of the book that come with an additional cover. A "dust cover" if you will, these 200 will be hand stamped and numbered. So preorder this now. This project cost us thousands, and these preorders are helping pay off the rest of the debt. Not ideal we know but I didn't have a couple extra grand just lying around. The more we sell the faster the book is shipped, so spread the word and help us out. Rest assured though, you will be in possession of this book asap. We want it to be shipped out before Christmas.

 

The total cost of the book to you, was a bit more than what we wanted to charge, but we opted for better paper to print it on, and shipping costs are way up now.

We know a lot of people have been looking forward to this, with good reason and we appreciate all the patience, and thanks to all the bands and people who have helped out along the way.

 

 In other Eating Rats news, this is probably it. 99.7% sure this the last release we do. Instead of doing the label I'm just going to shovel all my money into the woods or make a jacket out of shredded 20 dollar bills. So nothing released by ERR will be repressed, so while you're ordering the book pick up some of our other merch.

03/6/05 Whatup? Anyone that pre-ordered the THINK I CARE Mongrel 10” is probably wondering if it is ever going to come.

The record is finally all set to go and will be out shortly as a split release between Walk All Night and EATING RATS RECORDS. We have all been frustrated by label problems and haven’t played many shows… but look out for us to be playing your town soon….get in touch if you want to book shows and look for a new TIC page on eatingrats.com. Peace.
