Records Toreism

This album is made in an edition of 900 copies. The artwork on one side is a drawing by Post Typography and the other is a photo silk-screen by Crosshair. The images portray record stores of the future - one if you support the community institutions and the other if you don’t. Yes that is right, the inconvenient truth. The silk-screening and jacket fabrication will be done by Crosshair. Deluxe all hand-made hand-printed loveliness!
