Back to the action.
Unless you’ve been hiding in cave with Osama for the last 6 months, you know Bane released a new EP. Not only did they release a new EP, but it was released on 400 different labels all over the world. Here are all the EPs I’ve received so far.
Here’s what you see. Left to Right, Top to Bottom.

That’s some vinyl haul! Still waiting on the second round of vinyl from Hurry Up Records.
CDs were also released in Tokyo, South America and Australia. This is the 7:58 Tokyo cd package. It came with stickers, a pin, and a tee. I ordered 4 packages. I ended up with 4 tees and 2 cds. Funny story: my tees smell like gasoline. Real weird. Real, real weird.
Along with the X:58 EP, Bane also contributed to Stephen Fallis’ zine, At Both Ends. This EP is a comp of 4 bands. Bane, Unrestrained, Grade & Between Earth And Sky. No idea who Between Earth And Sky is, but Unrestrained is this chill band. You may recognize one or two of these characters from the xStuck In The Pastx blog. Great blog, chill band.
Group shot of my 3 sets. Here are the individual pics too.
If I find out what the pressing info is, I’ll make sure to share it.
I like how you're missing the 2nd Hurry Up 7" and I'm missing the 6131 record. And now it hit me that I never ordered the 2×7" with the zine. I guess we're like the Gatekeeper and the Keymaster – put us together and we're pretty dangerous.
I blame the packaging on those gross chips. ew so gross.
but thanks RW – now we just need that food processor to show up so I can make some salsa.
this is a response from Steve who does at both ends on the pressing
There are an incredible amount of colours for this release. The pressing plant decided to use up all their leftover colours from other jobs to press my records in order to keep on the time line I set for them. It’s a mess and NOT how I intended it when I started the project. The sets of three colours that goes as a package is a set of the three rarest colours that I have on hand until those colours are sold out. I originally offered a three colour set (six colours total, three for each 7″) at the start for collectors and when I found out what happened the orders had already started to come in so I let the people with preorders know, sent them the rarest colours I had at the time and decided to keep the set for sale. I hope this all makes sense.
Yeah, Steve told me the whole story when it dropped. Such a boondoggle. Oh well. Thanks for the extra info.
