| As part of today’s Bandcamp COVID-19 fundraiser, Alcopop! Records are pleased to reveal the Alcopop! ‘Pay What You Want’ store on their official Bandcamp store. The store will be open from 10am—midnight, on Friday 20th March 2020 at: https://alcopop.bandcamp.com/merch Commenting on the idea, label boss Jack Clothier says: “Today, however skint people are, they can get themselves a new LP, CD, or shirt, for nothing more than the price of postage. The reason being; we all need a bit of cheering up right now, and asking for folks to support us as a label in these difficult times is all very well, but when people don’t have a safe job to support them, they need some love as well.” “All orders will be shipped out with a personal note telling people how great they are and wishing ’em all well, and hopefully we’ll spread a bit of cheer, however locked down we are.” The sale will include tonnes of amazing physical record stock and merch from the likes of Alcopop! Records favourites johnny foreigner, Happy Accidents, and Tellison, with Hellogoodbye shirts and a few super cool rarities including: a signed Bo Ningen 7″, the legendary crushed meteorite Emperor Yes 12″ (average sale price on discogs £152.26!), a Tubelord test pressing, and more super special stuff only announced through the store. “A lot of the bands on the label have offered to give up their albums for free digitally as well until midnight,” says Clothier, “so there’ll be plenty of choice there, even if the physical runs out. All we’re asking is for people not to get silly with it. Max 2 items per person. But we hope we can spread a little cheer and do something nice for everyone who’s stuck at home xxx” When life gives you lemons, make Alcopop! |
