Octopus Live Vinyl Compilation Kickstarter Update #12

Hello,

We hope you are well.

This project is coming to its end. As we finish this journey it's very important to us that you know how much we appreciate your involvement in the Octopus Live Vinyl Comp. Thank you! Holy crap, we did this together! That's so cool! Too many exclamation points, but there's simply no other way put it.

We'll receive shipment of the records in the next 2 weeks. We'll start printing tees and hoodies next week. Shipping dates and local pick up info is below. Let us know if you have any questions.

Things have gone smoothly, but we did have an unforeseen hiccup. One of the songs on the comp. references a famous, very big, HUGE hit. Not sampled, but played in the middle of a song. The pressing plant informed us that we would have to obtain the rights to this tune. We (OK, Dave) freaked out a little bit.  How much do you think it costs to license a million selling song for one minute for a pressing of 250 records? For fun and for the sake of conversation we'll put that amount at the end of this update.

Important dates:

-Friday December 13. The official release date for the Octopus Live Vinyl Compilation.

-Tuesday December 10. We will ship records/tees/hoodies on this date and they should arrive to backers on or around Dec. 13.

-Friday December 13 4pm. Those choosing local pick up can pick up their records/tees/hoodies at Octopus on or after this date.

-Friday December 13 5pm. Remaining copies of the comp. will go on sale at Octopus and Mohair Pear.

-Friday December 13 8pm. The Record Release Party for the comp. happens at Octopus. Info/details here:https://www.facebook.com/events/478247179572558/

-Any remaining copies of the comp. can also be purchased online at: www.mohairpearshop.com

Again, thanks for your financial and over all support for this project, Octopus and live music. It's been a great ride and we hope to do it again!

Cheers,

Dave & Team Octopus
