Vinyl Call

Our Bristol rendezvous with the good people from the BLOC Weekend at the Bristol InMotion skatepark is fast approaching, and to celebrate we have teamed up with the Bristol InMotion crew for a special giveaway of Border Community rarities. As you may have already heard, our entire stock of back catalogue was destroyed in the Sony warehouse fire which was started during the London riots back in August. All that remains is a small – and rather random – assortment of records that were held here in our office, and it is these archives that we have raided to put together a very special prize package for the occasion of the Bristol InMotion giveaway, to include such rarities as: long out-of-print vinyl of Mr Holden‘s The Idiots Are Winning and Nathan Fake‘s Hard Islands albums as well as Mr Fake’s infamous The Sky Was Pink; Fairmont‘s Velora EP and Luke Abbott‘s Trans Forest Alignment, which both became limited editions of around 400 when the final remaining vinyl copies were destroyed in the fire; and CDs of Fairmont’s Coloured In Memory album (unfortunately unlikely to be repressed any time soon) and the still very much active Holkham Drones by Luke Abbott. With a T-shirt, badges and non-BC CDs from Martyn and Jamie Woon also thrown in, this is shaping up to be quite the goodie bag:

To enter, all you need to do is buy a ticket to the forthcoming BLOC / Bristol InMotion / Border Community threeway which takes place on 25th November at Bristol’s Motion club-come-skatepark, with the four man dream team of James Holden, Nathan Fake, Fairmont and Luke Abbott representing the Border Community in our own area, and luminaries like Martyn, Joker, Luke Vibert, Illum Sphere and 2562 popping up elsewhere across the complex. Tickets are available now here priced at just £16.50, and the lucky winner will be selected from the ticket list on the evening of the event. For further information about the competition see the Bristol InMotion blog; check the flyer below for the full massive event line-up.

Good luck! But even if you don’t win, treasure whatever Border Community vinyl collection you have: there is no more where that came from, because sadly in most cases we won’t be able to repress.
