Product Description
Bringing together four great modern psych bands from the North of England, “Magnetic North” is the first compilation album on Drone Rock Records. Featuring tracks by Dead Sea Apes from Manchester, Vert:X from Chester, Blown Out from Newcastle and Fleetwood’s finest, Earthling Society, Magnetic North aims to give you a taster of these bands’ phenomenal sounds. This pressing is going to be a total of 300 copies with 100 of these going to the bands involved. Like the last three previous releases on Drone Rock Records, Magnetic North will come in two editions and I will have 100 copies of each for sale. The records are expected to be back with me front the pressing plant at the end of September :-
Blue & red splatter on transparent orange vinyl
100 copies on transparent orange vinyl with red and blue splatters to match the colour scheme of the striking front cover artwork (created by Neil Whitehead from Vert:X). These will be initially offered in a pre-order to previous customer and mailing list subscribers.
