ARTISTS
Hello and welcome to Sargent Cherry Records. Please pardon our dust and disorder while we develop our website. In the meantime, we are very proud to announce that our first release will be available soon in our online store. Please note that this release is currently available for purchase locally in metro Detroit at UHF in Royal Oak and Stormy Records in Dearborn.
About the release:
"Born Without A Face Sound Recordings 1984-1986" consists of 23 tracks spread out over two 12-inch LPs on 210-gram vinyl, each in its own hand-silkscreened sleeve enclosed in a handmade 19" x 13" magnetic closure box.
The first LP collects all the tracks from the magnificent Freakshow self-released cassette and puts them on one record, restored and re-mastered from the original studio tapes. Until now, Freakshow has never been available on vinyl or CD. Original copies of the cassette are by now over 26 years old.
The second LP collects songs that were originally released on the two 7" EPs, plus one additional track ("Hostages") that was originally released on the There's a Method to Our Madness compilation. The tracks on this LP are also from the original studio master tapes. Please note that there were two tracks on the Unbecoming 7" EP that were taken from the Freakshow sessions. These two tracks are only on the Freakshow vinyl, not on the second LP.
Also included in this set is a 22-track CD (vinyl includes one bonus track) of the music, three original 11" X 17" screen-printed release posters, and a sticker.
The magnetic-closure portfolio itself is handmade with archival materials, with a screen-printed black-on-black bookcloth cover and white-on-black inner graphics and information. Designed and manufactured by the band, the Born Without A Face Sound Recordings package is being issued in a limited edition of just 300 copies.
