There was a bit of a hiccup with our first release, specifically that 70 records went missing en route to us, but this is a positive story. We sometimes discussed whether or not they would ever turn up, and a few months ago, the process began.
Mark Baker and his dad Alan found a dusty box, full of records, underneath a desk in an office in Birmingham, which they were clearing. There wasn't much in the way of clues, especially as they initially appeared to be blanks after Mark opened the unstamped side. Mark noticed the pressing on the A side and retraced the catalogue number, evntually locating us on Bandcamp, where he found the links to our Facebook
page.
He got in touch with us and that same day sent the missing 70 NP001 back to us free of charge....a unbelievably selfless gesture.
As we screen print all the records ourselves, I'd always said that if they turned up, I'd want them to be labelled as the missing 70, to distinguish them from the rest. We decided that it would also be a nice gesture to have a picture of Mark and Alan on the label, seeing as they had found them and got them back to us.
NP001 never really hit the shops in the UK as the majority went to Europe, so not many people got the chance to grab a copy. There are only 70 of these, so be quick, now is your chance.
Includes unlimited streaming of NP001
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
