For 2011, native Columbus Ohio rapper, and CD101 fave Tony Envelope releases his 4th set- a 6 song EP with Jacoti Sommes, titled This Could Go Either Way.This is the first release on his own Palais Du Pomeroi label, and his first 12" vinyl release.
To kick off the album, Envelope performed at 8 local indie shops Oct 15th, ending up at my fave- Spoonful, where I recently picked up my copy (and got Envelope's 2012 calendar as a bonus!).
I emailed Tony to get some details about the record to post, he replied:"There were 450 copies of the record in black vinyl and 50 copies in clear glow in the dark. We recorded and mixed all analog. Adam Smith (Columbus Discount Recordings) was the engineer and Adam also works Musicol. He cut the lacquer direct from tape and the record was pressed in town at Musicol. So this project never left Columbus and stayed analog....
Also the covers were hand screened by Adam and I."
