new goodies on the website, plus live gigs and our round up of 2001.
We're planning new albums this year by SUSUMU YOKOTA, MANITOBA,
GORODISCH, A SMALL GOOD THING and more, including three exciting new
signings. Keep 'em peeled!
1. FREE LEAF CD OFFER
FREE Leaf sampler CD with all purchases over 20 UKP at
http://posteverything.com/leaf
The more alert among you will have noticed that The Leaf Label gave away a
free CD (entitled WATCH FOR TSUNAMI WHEN YOU FEEL EARTH QUAKE)
at their recent London party, stuffed full of Leafy exclusives. The
remaining CDs are here, and we will be giving them away with all purchases
of 20 UKP (excluding Postage & Packing) or more, while stocks last.
Just place an order as normal, and we'll throw in the CD - that's all
you
need to do.
The promo only CD was created to mark the occasion of the label's major
London event on 10 December 2001 (featuring live appearances from Eardrum,
Manitoba and Gorodisch, plus DJs Graham Sutton, Rob Ellis, Tony Morley and
Four Tet). Copies of the CD were given to all ticket holders.
The CD includes a number of exclusive tracks that will not be available on
official Leaf releases, plus previews of new Leaf releases from 2002,
including new signings Murcof and Boom Bip & Doseone.
Here's the tracklist:
A Small Good Thing : 'A Mighty Stillness (remix)'
Manitoba : 'Pat Benatar's Hairdresser'
Murcof : 'Maiz'
Boom Bip & Doseone : 'The Birdcatcher's Return'
Rob Ellis : 'Triminufaykinsymph'
310 : 'Firing Line (live at Smallfish)'

2. NEW LEAF T-SHIRTS
LIMITED EDITION MALE & FEMALE DESIGNS
Designed by Non-Format, responsible for most of The Leaf Label's
consistently excellent sleeve design, and printed on high quality, British
made, 100% cotton, these T-shirts are an extension of the label's latest
design aethetic, mirrored by a new website frontend (coming soon!), new club
visuals and the 'Watch For Tsunami When You Feel Earth Quake' CD.
Printed black and green on charcoal cotton, with subtley different male and
female designs, the shirt feartures a large print on the front with a
discreet Leaf logo, and a further print inside the back of the neck.
Available in Medium and Large (Male) and Small and Medium (Female), and
strictly limited edition - once this batch has gone, we won't be printing
more in these colours, so snap them up quick.
Beware of the dog!
