Hobbledehoy Record Co

 

Long before joining A Death In The Family or playing solo, Jamie Hay fronted Newcastle influential hardcore act Conation whom decided to call it a day many moons ago. Sparked by their reunion show with Propagandhi earlier this year, Conation have been in and out of the studio putting in time where they can to finish what is now their final posthumous CDep entitled “The Clouds Are Gathering“.

The record will be out very shortly through our good buddies Poison City Records. In the meantime, you can hear one of the tracks over at the Poison City myspace page.

Shortly after The Age Hobbledehoy feature "How Labels Are Cashing In On Music Piracy" was published, my district local-paper decided to also interview & photograph me at the state-of-the-art facility that is Hobble HQ (click here for a video tour).

After a 30 minute interview and a very awkward photo-shoot, the end result is now published. Once again it's chock-full of mis-quotes, but the editor/interviewer was a Blueline Medic fan which made for an enjoyable conversation.

While some testosterone-overladen boy playing gridiron who likes Nike a lot beat me to the front page, it's still a win for this obscure little label. I think my mum has bragging rights around the supermarket now too.

Mail-ordering records is great. On occasion, a small freebie or two might arrive along with the package which is really exciting... it makes mail-order a very enjoyable way to buy music. Since the release of the Blueline Medic 42:19 LP I've had many requests from people to buy the test pressing (pictured), but have decided the best way to let this ultra-rarity go is through a mysterious giveaway with mail-orders!

"'Ultra-rarity' you say?" Correct, there are only 2 test pressings in existence, both hand-numbered. This record is pressed on beautiful 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl, with the 1st pressing limited to a ridiculous 164 copies (I am downright amazed this is still in print - pictured below).

How can I win?
Order anything before Friday 13th (oooh spooky!) of November from our E-Store; vinyl, CDs, shirts... it doesn't matter. One customer will then win the glorious Blueline Medic 42:19 LP test-press hand numbered #2/2. The very lucky, randomly selected customer will be notified by email.
