Mothraband vinyl fundraising campaign.
Here is our fundraising campaign to get our album pressed on vinyl. This is effectively a ‘pre-order’ for the album on vinyl, rather than a general fundraiser with a whole lot of funding options.
Up until now we have funded everything ourselves, including the recording, mixing, production, and mastering of the album. The pressing costs to produce a minimum run of 250 double 12″ LPs, plus shipping costs from the US and duty on top of that isn’t cheap, but with enough pre-orders we can make it happen. Our goal is to get 120 pre-orders, you can also make a small donation to help the cause.
This will be a double 12″ LP, on coloured wax with 8 page colour booklet and gatefold. The cost of each unit is $50 NZ plus shipping, please note the prices are converted to US dollars. The first 20 will be signed and the first 50 will receive a private link to another song off the album while the campaign is underway. Here’s a link to the track we put up a couple of weeks back https://soundcloud.com/mothrasound/escapism Cheers for the support! – Mothra.
