Pre-Order Thread

$73 shipped to the US. Ouch.

Yes. But the music is good. FWIW my orders to US have always been packed well. Also, Years ago Naxatras sent me a complete new replacement (including vinyl) for a severely damaged sold out trifold cover at no cost bought off their bandcamp.

And they usually rec analog…. “LP edition is mastered in a pure analog chain from tape to cut (AAA)”

Put this in the category of vinyl that I'll listen to once but I'm a sucker for anything REM so take my goddamn $31.

The annoying part is that they just released the original Hib Tone single of Radio Free Europe and Sitting Still on 7" a few years ago.

Same. I also got a teeeeeeee shirt so I can finally stop running around shirtless.

Also it’s a charity thing for the actual Radio Free Europe so that’s a thing.

Didn't think I'd ever see this day. Looks like the full track listing too.
 

 
Soul Step Records Announces SSR-103!
(If you want to learn more about our label, come find our thread in the Vinyl Clubs section!)

Soul Step Records is proud to announce the latest release from one of Country’s best new voices, Sterling Drake. His latest release, “The Shape I’m In” is another classic set of Country & Western tunes.

Sterling Drake’s debut full-length album ‘The Shape I’m In” is a lively jaunt through the landscapes of roots music. Produced by Grammy-winning Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Thorleifur Davidsson (Sierra Ferrell, Laufey), the 14-track record subverts expectations and reimagines the familiar sounds that have shaped the country genre.

Recorded at the Bomb Shelter in East Nashville, ‘The Shape I’m In’ unfolds as a nearly autobiographical telling of Sterling’s adventures as an artist. The album stands out for its innovative approach, marking Sterling’s transition from interpreting the styles of his musical heroes to establishing his own unique voice. Inspired by legends like Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, and Don Williams, Sterling has developed a sound that reflects the depth and breadth of these influences while exploring new ideas.

The record features a cast of highly acclaimed musicians including Jeff Taylor, Dennis Crouch, Russ Pahl, Billy Contreras, Aksel Coe, and Davidsson, among others. Tracks range from introspective to raucous, marrying the Nashville sound of the 1960s with Delta blues and intricate Celtic traditional melodies, delivering a musical arc that is diverse yet cohesive.

This album is a significant milestone for the award-winning musician, highlighting his growth from a young honky tonk singer to a seasoned artist. ‘The Shape I’m In” promises to connect with fans of country music and newcomers alike.

Pre-orders for the LTD/100 Silver Dollar Vinyl are available now, Wax Mage variants will go online to Soul Step Subscribers on 5/2 at 1PM EST.
