Just announced this one today. Relaunched my old label to release a 7" I recorded by my mates' garage band The Dreads. These lads have been trying to get a record out for years and kept getting screwed over - so I took it on proper DIY style.
Tracked it earlier this year in my rehearsal space... Will Carruthers (of Spacemen 3, Spiritualised, BJM et al) and myself designed the logo, Will designed some psychedelic silver/ white moiré artwork, carved the lino and we went back down to the rehearsal space a couple of weekends ago and printed all 300 sleeves and some posters with the band in the back room.
7"s were printed by my45 in Germany and they turned out great... Cheaper and a lot quicker than any of the GZ resellers could do... would recommend. The only pain in the ass was having to prove the members weren't members of a licensing organisation (to get through Germanys strict piracy laws and have the records shipped).
