CD preorders started today on Bandcamp and here on the Erstwhile site. 
​(to be released on October 1, 2023)

Graham Lambkin/James Rushford - Gondolas (Erstwhile 095-2)
Moniek Darge/Vanessa Rossetto - Dream Soundies (Erstwhile 096)
​

hello, hope you're all relatively well...

in order to hopefully raise money and clear space, we have lowered the prices for all the Gravity Wave stock CDs (except Continuum Unbound, as that one is close to OOP):

GW 005-010, 014, 015:  previously $14, now $11
GW 001-004:  previously $14, now $12
Nature Denatured and Found Again (5CD box set):  previously $60, now $50
(*On this Erstwhile site, it is $54 since the shipping fee is cheaper than on Bandcamp.)

the single CDs may be reprinted at some point if they run out, the box set ‘Nature Denatured’ will almost certainly not be, so don’t wait too long to grab that if you want one.

Also, we added a full digital album of Michael Pisaro - Continuum Unbound (disc 1-3) on Bandcamp, including a PDF of a 12-page full-color booklet with photographs by Michael Pisaro and Greg Stuart, and the liner notes by Michael Pisaro, a PDF of a 4-page paper folder of each disc, and a JPEG of the box cover. ($30)

​

​*The individual discs (011, 012, 013) which have already been on Bandcamp are the same contents as the three discs in this box set.

thanks very much for your interest and support,
Michael/Yuko/Jon

​hi, hope everyone is doing relatively ok in these crazy times...
 
we have not done a sale of any kind since last summer and we badly need to raise money and clear space, so we are going to do six simultaneous sales, so that people can bundle if they want. you can combine any of these which is why we are doing them all at the same time, please write directly to us at erstrecs(at)gmail.com if you have any questions about your total or shipping charges or are confused about combining orders and we will figure it out. all of the below sales will run through August 28 at midnight EST, any and all support is very welcome!
 
1) Bandcamp: 20 percent off everything (Erstwhile, elsewhere, Gravity Wave), coupon code for each is 'summer22', but if you want to bundle orders, you need to contact us directly (erstrecs(at)gmail.com)   
 
2) our web site here (erstwhilerecords.com): same as Bandcamp, coupon code is 'summer22' and you get 20 percent off everything there, all three of our labels are included. 
 
3) the 70 Erstwhile single CDs listed below (and pictured above) are part of a 10 for $70 (plus shipping) sale, you need to select at least 10 and they are $7 each (so you could get 12 for $84 for 16 for $112, for instance), but only from this list. also if you are interested in buying all 70 discs listed here, you can get a further discount, 70 discs for $400 (plus shipping).

5) we have a special deal for the 2022 elsewhere releases. if you buy all three (two double CDs and one triple CD, 021-2, 022-3, 023-2), it is $65 instead of the normal $70, and you can select  one additional single CD from the elsewhere catalog for free. This deal is only accepted via direct email order at: elsewheremusicnet(at)gmail.com.

6)  ErstDist/Erst sale: buy 5, get 2 free

the way this one works is that you select 7 items, and you pay for 5, with the cheapest two of your choices being free. for every 5 you pay for, you get two free ones. this applies to everything that I stock, including Erstwhile/elsewhere/Gravity Wave releases. Erstwhile/elsewhere/Gravity Wave single CDs are $14, double CDs are $21. everything I have at ErstDist currently is listed here:
 
https://www.erstwhilerecords.com/erstdist.html
 
anyone taking advantage of this last part of the sale, when you're placing your order, please list your items in order from most expensive to least expensive. that will make it much easier for me to process, and figure out which items are free. thanks a lot!

excited to announce that the first Erst of 2021 is now available on Bandcamp and this site, shipping now. 

CD release date: March 22, 2021. 

We redesigned the Erstwhile website after many years. On this new site, you can buy not only Erstwhile titles (CD/digital) but also elsewhere and Gravity Wave CDs together to save extra shipping charges. Both credit cards and PayPal are available. (However, as for ErstDist items, you can place an order only via email.)

On the LIVE page, we listed all the major festivals and related events that have happened over the past 20 years, with the programs, reviews, and links to the photo albums. 

The TEXT page has the related essays, interviews, and recent reviews of our CDs. 

Hope you will enjoy our new web site! ​
