Sun City Girls
Beginnings Dark

Single US 2007 on Enterruption label
Rock (Experimental)

Limited edition of 320 copies packaged in copper foil stamped and die cut slip cover and with 21 inserts, 2 of which are stickers. This single sided white vinyl LP plays from the inside out and features a silk screen on the non-music side. The following information comes from the label regarding the variations of this release: "Column" refers to the Bacon Up That Sausage insert: a column being made up of 3x panels, top to bottom. there are 4 columns, left to right. Column all = 57x (28x copper, 29x gold): includes all 4x columns of Bacon Up That Sausage inserts Column all/Reverse b-side screen-print = 43x (22x holograph foil, 1x black non-foiled, 10x copper, 10x gold) Column 1 = 55x (28x copper, 27x gold) Column 2 = 55x (27x copper, 28x gold) Column 3 = 55x (28x copper, 27x gold) Column 4 = 55x (27x copper, 28x gold) non-foil stamped = 1x Holographic foil = 22x Gold foil = 149x Copper foil = 148x The column all/Reverse: 10x gold = 7x of the 10x the screen-print is off under the foil-stamp giving it a very distinct and cool drop-shadow effect. 3x of those have a secondary ghost image offset from that, even cooler. All the Reverse LPs are signed by Santos on the paper sleeve. There's 4x or 5x colored inserts that are signed by Bonnie Banks. All the vinyl is white (small stains here and there) except for one that is marbled generously with black. this is with the non-foil stamped sleeve. there was actually only 319x LP jackets. thus: 1x w/ extra BonBan inserts serving as it's de facto cover. it contains the marbled LP. 3x of the red sleeves have Sun City Girls (mis)printed multiple times on the inside. I think they were register prints that slipped into the stacks and ended up being foil stamped.... 23x foil-stamped "Obi" strips (remaining extra sleeves cut to foil-stamp strip) the column all + reverse screen'd went mostly to band and artists, then pre-orders while they lasted (somewhere around 30-40 went to pre-orders). the reverse b-side screenprint was an accident. it was the first burning of the screen. the screen was used until the emulsion fell apart (wrong emulsion for job) under use of gnarly chems to clean vinyl ink....... the second screen burned, the image was righted and the proper emulsion was used. "Beginnings Dark" is the backwards version of "The Venerable Song (The Meaning Which Is No Longer Known)" from the LP "Bright Surroundings Dark Beginnings" [majora, 1993] .
