Conversation #3

[mic feedback]

SB: [laughs] Sorry.

GG: Okay, cool. Uh, then... basically what I just wanted to know... I wanted to know how it was coming along, uh... um... I gotta still send you that guy from Germany's address. I'm gonna... I... I've just been so fuckin' busy lately with everything.

SB: Mm-hmm.

GG: Um, but I want to get you that, though. I'm gonna send you... I've got a bunch of shit, but I'm gonna send basically what... the guy I think was the best connection. Instead of sending you... cuz, cuz if you're only pressing 1,500 records, the chances of you getting rid of 'em in this country are probably... they're probably gonna go real quick anyway.

SB: Mm-hmm.

GG: So, uh... but, uh, then if you decide to go into more pressings, you could probably, you know, look into other distributors. I don't know. But is there gonna be a problem with you sending some copies to, uh, the P.O. box?

SB: Uh, of course not. No problems at all.

GG: I want to get a few copies. And if you can, when you get the, uh, the... the completed, uh, version of the cover, just send me a copy of the cover here so I can check it out. And of course I can't get the record, but you can send the... the records to the P.O. box. And, uh...

SB: I'll send you the colored vinyl ones.

GG: Yeah. Yeah, so... yeah. Send the colored vinyl ones to the P.O. box, definitely. Definitely. That should be, uh, cool.

SB: Actually, there's... there are gonna be, uh, probably a total of three different versions of that.

GG: Great!

SB: I used some drawings that... that you sent me on... on one of your letters...

GG: Mm-hmm.

SB: ...I used it as part of the... the label...

GG: Mm-kay.

SB: So you're gonna have 500 red vinyl with... with the label that has your drawings...

GG: Great!

SB: ...uh, 500 black label with... with the same label...

GG: Mm-hmm.

SB: ...and then all the ones printed after that, black vinyl with the regular, standard Mountain Records label.

GG: Cool. You know what I'll do, then, tonight... let me, uh... I sent you the addresses of those people. What I should do is send you a couple addresses of... of some magazines that I know will, uh, review it, too. Like Flipside, and, uh... well, you... you know to send one to Maximum Rocknroll.

SB: Mm-hmm.

GG: Uh, yeah, there's been a lot of, uh... I just got a mention in that magazine, Metal Mania.

SB: Really?

GG: Yeah, one of those glossy fuckin' heavy metal magazines.

SB: I'm surprised.

GG: So there's a lot of, uh... there's a lot of talk going around right now. This is a really good time for this to be coming out.

SB: Yay! [laughs]

GG: So, uh, I don't think you're gonna have any problem getting rid of every one that you press up.

SB: Cool.

GG: And, uh, you know, you might even, if you can make money off it, want to think about going into a second pressing. If you do, I mean, that's, uh, you know, somewhere down the road.

SB: Okay. Um, those, uh, contracts I sent to you.

GG: Okay?

SB: Now, did... did you check 'em out, and everything?

GG: Uh, I don't even think I got it yet. When did you send it?

SB: Oh, last week.

GG: Contr... no, I didn't get it yet. What day did you send it, do you know?

SB: I think it was Thursday.

GG: Okay, I'll probably... I'll get it tomorrow, then. And I'll just mail it back to you the day I get it. And... so I'll wait, then. I'm glad you mentioned that. When I get the contract, that way I can send those addresses back to you at the same time.

SB: Yeah.

GG: Okay, then, I won't keep you any longer. I'll be in touch through the mail. And, uh, you know... whatever, uh, whenever it comes out, just let me know.

SB: Sounds good.

GG: Okay?

SB: Okay.

GG: Talk to you later.

SB: Bye.

GG: Bye.

TELEPHONE OPERATOR: This is AT&T, I have a collect call. Can you answer, please?

GG: [pause] Nah, he's probably not there. I'll try...
