We offer cheap - to free recordings. We don't believe in overcharging for our CD's, and we generally only charge to compensate for materials used, or every now and again so we can afford some of our essential things. $15-$20 for a CD is outrageous, and we don't believe that any label really puts out that kind of quality to justify +1500% profit on their merchandise.
Our goal is to just provide the local area with an affordable alternative to the ridiculous studios in the area. We don't have a soundproof studio, a wide range of studio quality microphones, and thousands of dollars of recording equipment. But we'll bring whatever we can to wherever you want us to be almost any day and try to make the best possible recording we can.

USHOS0699100
Status: Available
A very old recording of a basement show held at my place, bands on the CD - Smoke Less And Eat More Fruit, The Shitts, Broken Saint, and Wino Remission And The Tortoise. The recording quality is godawful (at times barely listenable), but it's a beautiful piece of nostalgia from the beginning of the Rhinelander basement scene. The songs generally include a few seconds before and after the actual song, so if you were in the audience, you can probably hear yourself on the CD.
