Notes
Limited edition on 140 gram vinyl, housed in a die-cut gatefold sleeve, with a 12x12" insert.
"Some people like special color vinyl" stickers on the wrapping (front).
Barcode sticker (680899109710) on the wrapping (back) different from the one on the sleeve (680899009713).
OK, here’s the story—you, yes you, waited a hell of a long time after you ordered and paid for the Promises album for which we feel inexorably bad about. So, through a series of situations which you can read about below if you care, we have 700 or so of these hand fed, color vinyl versions. If you’d like one, we’d be happy for you to be the ones able to order one. However, unbeknownst to us they did manage to press one days worth of these, which is about 700 copies.
A composition for Saxophone, Strings, Keyboards and Electronics entitled 'Promises' by Sam Shepherd.
Recorded at Sargent Recorders, Los Angeles, California.
London Symphony Orchestra; Recorded at Air Studios, London.
Mixed [...] at ESM4, London.

Reviews

I've had about 3 or 4 copies of this album. All of them were incredibly noisy EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE! If you're looking to buy this incredible album, this is the pressing to get. -
This is an incredible experience. Great pressing, great music. One of my favourite records to play when I have time to sit down and relax. -

For what reason Discogs is blocking an official release?? We have all received it from Luaka Bop the official label. -

-
Beautiful looking record and nice backstory, but unfortunately the pressing is not great. The noise floor is noticeably higher than my standard black pressing, which was already fairly noisy.
-
Received my copy and I can confirm that this is MUCH quieter than my 180g black version and after a single clean its near silent.
-
Just got mine in the mail, can't speak on the sound quality yet, but as of today, these are still available from the Luaka Bop webstore
