Polyvinyl Records Warehouse Sale (up to 26 preselected cds for $50)

[Arakias]

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattlunsford/help-us-save-our-office

Polyvinyl needs your help! Some of our distributor’s warehouses around the world are being downsized or consolidated and we either need to destroy over 10,000 records or face some high storage costs.

Destroying the records is not an option (it’s too wasteful and besides, these are great records, they’re just overstocked)! Storing the records at our warehouse is not an option (we cannot afford the storage costs). So to keep them from destruction, we’re hoping to have all the records shipped back to our office.

As you can see from the picture, this also creates a new set of problems!

We desperately need your help to clear out space in our backroom for everything to fit. Please help make this a win-win situation for everyone – we clear out space, we don’t have to destroy great records, and you get the opportunity to get some awesome music from the likes of Aloha, of Montreal, Mates of State, Joan of Arc, Mike Kinsella, Rainer Maria, and many more.

NOTE: the way Kickstarter works for shipping addresses--at the end date of the project (July 14) all Backers will receive an individual message asking for your shipping address. All packages will be shipping the week of July 20.
