While the dates below are not necessarily set in stone, if you are able to pull together the necessary parts, we highly recommend trying to place your orders by the suggested order date (or sooner, if possible) to leave enough room to make the delivery date. It’s always better to get your records early than trying to rush them together at the last minute!
Of course, please always call or email us before committing to any specific due date, and we will always do our best to make your date, or suggest alternatives.

Please note - all dates subject to change, so we cannot emphasize enough the need to call us before committing to any date. Also, please check back to this page frequently, as dates are always fluctuating.
Also, just a note to let you know that the record manufacturing process is tremendously slowed when the weather is hot / humid. Coincidentally, this happens during tour season, when a huge amount of records are being sold.
We will always do our best to deliver by that date, or if necessary, suggest alternatives to you. One of the worst things to happen in this biz is to have an event built around a record release, and not have the records in hand. Please keep us informed of your plans so we can do everything in our power to help you.
Feel free to contact us if you have any suggestions on other events we may have missed - we tried to list the dates for which we have received the most record orders in the past, but there are probably many others that we can add to the list.
