Happy Tidings from Current 93

I and we had expected that the 2LP reissue of SOFT BLACK STARS and THE STARS ON THEIR HORSIES would be available at the C93/NWW London Channelling in October, along with the Steven Stapleton & David Tibet single LP, Dead Memory, and the Steven Stapleton & David Tibet 5CD box-set, The Threat Of Memory. As it happened, neither of the 2 C93 items turned up, and the Stapleton-Tibet releases are still not here, although the Steven-Tibet 2LP, The Threats Of Memories did arrive. We now expect the Stapleton-Tibet 1LP and 5CD releases to arrive in January, when we will add them to the shop along with the 2LP.

There were also a huge number of problems with pressing plants and printing plants. THE STARS ON THEIR HORSIES arrived with a printing flaw on every single cover. So all of those had to be returned to the factory to be reprinted, and then have the vinyl re-sleeved. We then received the reprinted sleeves; a huge number were unusable due to another printing flaw. We then had to return 50% of the sleeves for reprinting… AGAIN.

This resulted in huge delays. This was totally out of our hands, and we apologise. It is as frustrating for us as it is for you.

As a result of all these problems, we will no longer be offering any items for pre-order. We will only add items to the shop when we have them in stock.

I am sorry that I haven’t yet finished the NATURE UNVEILED 2LP lathe-cut special edition. I will be working on these over the coming holidays, and everything will be sent out in January 2019. I do have all the parts with me, but deadlines connecting to my LA art exhibition are bearing down ferociously on me, and I have scores of items to finish by the end of this year. I hope all of those who have ordered this item will forgive this further delay. Nature UnVeiled will, thus, be finally UnVeiled as the New Year is UnVeiled. There are a very small number of copies remaining, which will be added back to the shop as soon as I have finished painting all of them. Thank you again for your patience, and kindness, and understanding.

We have added the remaining copies of the new C93 Bella t-shirt and red enamel Bella badges to the shop, along with a very small number of totes of THE LIGHT IS LEAVING US ALL. The image, and text, on the t-shirt is luminous. As usual, the t-shirts and totes are FairWear.

I signed a small number of copies of the new 2LP reissue of Soft Black Stars, as well as the reissue of The Stars On Their Horsies, in white ink for the Berlin Channelling. A small number of copies remain; visit the shop to acquire them.

I have a small number of the 2LP TPs of the albums Soft Black Stars and Thunder Perfect Mind; as usual, they come with labels hand-written by me, and in a screen-printed sleeve with the album title, and “Current 93” also hand-written by me; I also initial the sleeve with “DT”. These 2LP albums are £45 each plus P&P.
