The recent discussion about whether vinyl is 'better' has a strange synchronicity about it, as Vanity Dog have been discussing 'making a record' for ages. Recently I read that Jack White of the White Stripes has reopened a record pressing plant in Detroit. to great acclaim. I have made an executive judgement that a band with Vanity Dog's fan-base of about three would be barking up the wrong tree by entering into negotiations with the Detroit Plant.
However, the is an alternative, closer to home. You see, a couple of years ago, we discussed making a record and our research unearthed this gentleman.
http://peterkinglathecutrecords.co.nz/history.htm Yes, Peter King literally 'makes' records. Based in Geraldine, which is in the South Island of Otago.
Talking about an upcoming Vanity Dog project, we decided it would be so very cool to have a vinyl pressing of one of our singles. and so we will put together an EP, and then commission Peter King to make it.
We have a couple of tracks already for this puppy: 'SIX' & 'Candlestick Park'

... and we will write two more cracking songs for it to make it one of our our traditional 'four-track' EP.
Right on!
