FESTIVAL OF THE DEAD

The new records landed today, really happy with how they came out and I have a lot of people to thank for making that possible. It's out on vinyl and CD and you can get it direct from Blackest Ever Black not to mention all the other great record retailers that there are nowadays.
I do have a handful of each version here as well, let me know if you'd like it signed.
2xLP version including shipping: UK £20 / non-UK $40 (USD)
CD version including shipping: UK £12 / non-UK $20 (USD)
PayPal is the usual susanlawly@freeuk.com
Shipping costs these days are criminally expensive, so apologies for that.
You can hear The Claw at SoundCloud.

DAMBALLAH 58

The new Damballah 58 vinyls gently and safely landed!
BEB have once again done a fabulous job of making them look and sound so great, that attention to detail really makes such a difference. There's a full preview of the A-side at Soundcloud. I do have a few here for sale (US$20 Europe/US$25 ROW shipping included, PayPal to the usual susanlawly@gmail.com), and of course if you'd like a signed one please just feel free to ask.
