A plan. A rough plan. A very rough plan…

In December last year we filmed three or four songs by eight or nine bands at our practice room in Highfield Studio's in Liverpool. the backdrop was of a massive wall of amps and speakers.

As the months and these shows pass by we’re hoping to have all of these performances edited and available to watch here: http://www.youtube.com/user/RekordmeisterMusic/videos

We’re aiming to have one ready every week, at the start of the week (Let’s say Monday) for everyone to watch. At the moment Sam’s editing the video and I’m editing the audio to the tracks Puzzle recorded. The first of which you can see here:

There will inevitably be the odd gap (Some bands recorded 3 songs others a few more) so in the place of a video we’ll make a track from the current album/EP available to stream. This is nothing more than a cheap trick to build suspense.

On the day of each release (Always a Friday) all videos should be available to watch and all tracks available to either download or stream. The following week we’ll announce the next release and start all over again.

Limited edition CD&Used Vinyl records

For each release this year we’ll be producing 100 Limited edition CD&Used Vinyl records.

 

The records will be available at: Each of the Used Vinyl Club shows, to order from our Bandcamp page with (hopefully) a few copies in Probe.

They will contain:

• A CD of the month’s record release
• A used 7” vinyl record. This could be anything from Shakin’ Stevens to Guided by Voices, or Milli Vanilli to Bob Dylan (From 2^nd March - the second release and show – we’ll have a used vinyl swap ‘stall’).
• Two limited edition badges (Only 100 of each design made)
• Unique contribution from the band. I don’t know what this is...
• Separate sleeve notes, including the first announcement of the next release
• Something to keep it all in.

It should look something like this:

Probably more like this:

Puzzle – Everything You Ever Made

We asked Puzzle to write us a few words for our blog:

We were friends first and decided to be in a band later and we've been writing songs and playing them for 5 years now. We are Lucy, David and Mounsey and we've released our songs by ourselves, but also with Cloudberry Records, Lightning Heart Records and a split 7" with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin on Polyvinyl.

'Everything You Ever Made' EP with Used Vinyl Club is our 5th release. The four songs were recorded by Robert Whiteley in Whitewood Recording Studio in November 2011. We have used one of Katey Harvey's lovely pictures on the front cover of the CD.

We love all those amazing bands we've ever seen play and played with, and we definitely love sitting around Liverpool talking about the footie, house parties with singstar and long discussions about that pub we'll open some day... and whilst our songs always reflect just a hint of nostalgic sadness for days you can never get back, it's important to remember to keep your feet tapping.

"All the little things, they mean everything"

Used Vinyl Club is:

Nine records, nine shows, ten bands.

One record released each month (on the first Friday of each month) from 3rd Feb – 5th October 2012.

A record release show at 8pm at Mello Mello (40 - 42 Slater Street, Liverpool, L1 4BX) on the day of each release.



100 limited edition CD&Used Vinyl records.

Puzzle, Voo, Married to the Sea, Elle s’appelle, Meow Meow, 28 Costumes, DoubleDoublePlusGood, Guild of Defiants, Hallo… I love you! and House that Jack Built.

A free downloadable music archive which will build up over the 9 months. EP’s, split EP’s, full length albums, rarities collections and an anthology – of sorts.


An idea conceived by friends seeking something to do, something to do with their music, decent beer and refuge from unremarkableness.

In form – and in the loosest sense of the term – a ‘record label’.

In function, an archive, a something to do, a place to go and a ‘photograph’ of what some friends in Liverpool did (Or will do) between 2011 and 2012.
