We at Shield Recordings strongly suggest you to check out both amazing artists!
Since the first pressing of the PJ Bond 12 inch “22 April, Vienna, Austria” almost sold out we did a repress in support of the European Tour. We pressed 220 copies on clear vinyl. With a brand new screen print on the B side the records look awesome. Thanks to our friends of Fairtrademerch.com we got 4 different colors of screen print.
This repress will probably sell quite quick as well, se if you want one order it now from our webstore
