MEXICAN SUMMER

No, this isn’t about my past summer….. Do you want to belong to a record club? This deal reminds me of the old days when you would order those CD’s from Columbia House and get 12 CD’s for the price of one. The only downfall was that they kept on sending you that C&C Music Factory CD over and over.

Mexican Summer

In the spirit of the record club resurgence, Mexican Summer finds a cozy spot at the forefront alongside fellow labels Sub Pop and Merge (talk about great company!) Launched in September of 2008, Mexican Summer releases will all be pressed in very limited quantities and will also be available for download, bringing a musical and visual experience to music lovers and collectors that want more than just a tune to consume.

One of the exciting aspects of the club is that it gives fans an opportunity to receive vinyl on a subscription basis (at a discount to purchasing at retail) and at a select group of exclusive indie retailers across the country. 2-3 albums will be released every other month in various formats (12″, 7″, Picture Disc, etc) and all records will be beautifully packaged, hand numbered, pressed on high quality virgin vinyl and include a download card. There will also be bonus gifts available only to members which include slip mats, tote bags, and many more stylish treats.

Subscriptions are available via the Mexican Summer website at www.mexicansummer.com
