In honor of Record Store Day (April 20th) this year, Pirates Press Records, Longshot Music, Contra Records, Randale Records, Oi! The Boat Records, and Rebellion Records have teamed up to launch a year-long, weekly 7″ record subscription called “Under One Flag Series”.
The series will focus on Oi! and Street Punk, releasing one 7″ record each week. Limited to editions of only 350 records per title, this series will be housed in a simple ‘old school’ full color printed paper innersleeve with printed center labels, inserted into a custom-printed shipping envelope.
All six record companies involved are contributing material for between 6-10 weeks. This series aims to highlight great bands that fans of Punk and Oi! will already know, while also introducing the base to new and upcoming bands that are destined to be future favorites of the scene.
The following record stores will be selling a limited number of subscriptions: Subculture for Life (DE), Dirty Mick Records (USA), TKO Records (USA), KB Records (DE), Skele-Tone Records (USA), Randaleshop (DE), and Oi! Oi! The Shop (UK).
Other than those copies and the ones going out to all the bands/labels, the remaining 200 copies will be sold as a subscription only. Subscriptions will be available at http://www.under1flag.com/ three weeks before Record Store Day, on April 1st, 2013 at 9am Pacific Standard Time. The year-long subscription costs $150 plus a shipping plan. A shipping plan is required and costs $50-$150, dependent on shipping location and shipping plan.
Many of the records will be exclusive only to this series while others will be limited versions of upcoming or recent releases.
