THE SPECTACLE VINYL OUT NOW IN THE U.S.



This have been an exciting week. Both "Rope or Guillotine" and "I, Fail" got released on vinyl in the U.S.A.



The Spectacle was a DIY punk band from Norway. They put out two full-length CDs on CrimethInc and toured the US once and Europe several times. Last year they broke up, but the saga continues. Phil Elverum (The Microphones/Mt. Eerie) refused to let The Spectacle rest in peace and became quite obsessed with their first full-length "Rope or Guillotine" and wanted to re-press it on his own label P.W. Elverum & Sun. The Spectacle was not completely satisfied with how the recording sounded on the Crimethinc CD (and the european LP-version) so they went back into the studio in august and september 2006 and re-mixed the whole thing. Phil then mastered it in the USA. Now it is out with 100% new artwork (screen printed and letter pressed sleeves by Phil himself) + a new booklet. pressed in only 492 copies.

The Iowa label Scenester Credentials did also put out "I, Fail" as a 2xLP this week. It is quite similar to the europan vinyl-pressing, but the cover got a new color-scheme that looks amazing. It comes with a huge poster insert. 100 copies on colored vinyl and 400 copies on black vinyl.

thanks for reading!



refuse. resist.



2007 will be an exciting year; Since most The Spectacle vinyl are out-of-print at this point our friends at Scene Credentials in Iowa are doing a re-press of the "I, Fail" 2xLP complete with a new color-scheme. By coincidence P.W. Elverum & Sun are doing their own version of the "Rope or Guillotine" LP with new handscreened artwork, re-mixed, re-mastered.



Also check out BEYOND THE FENCES, , they just released a smashing 10" and includes Kjetil from The Spectacle on vocal. A very good band.
