I recently came across the blog Project Thirty-Three, a treasure chest of vintage album art. All of the records were collected and scanned in by Jive Time Records. Do yourself a favor and take a peek at all the great colors, shapes, and typography.
Forest Family Records is a new label project founded by the righteous dudes at Gorilla vs. Bear and Weekly Tape Deck. Their first release is a 7″ yellow vinyl single of Cults – “Go Outside”. To send this to the next level 10% of profits will be donated to charity benefiting animals. This specific release will go towards the Humane Society.
