We have had a record year in 2012 at Bottlehead, up 25% from our previous best year ever. That was a feat that required not only a lot of production, sales and shipping but also a pretty time consuming revision and refinement of Bottlehead's business structure. Consequently it has really been tough for Eileen and I to fit in all of the obligations we have committed to, including our commitment to the Tape Project. At long last I have finished engraving, assembling, packaging, printing, etc. - all the stuff that has to get done after the tapes are duped - the first half of the orders for this album. Eileen is packing and shipping the first batch out today. The rest should follow over the next week. Thanks for your patience, I think you will dig this one.
