2006 OCTOBER 1
*** Book finished! ***
No turning back now!
Printing of the first run begins next week, and copies should reach the market
in 5-6 weeks, assuming no snafu:s.
Distribution in the US is handled by Forced
Exposure, and worldwide distribution is by Subliminal
Sounds. Expected retail price is $29.98. The interest in the book seems to
be substantial, judging by pre-orders that are clearly in excess of what we
had expected. Copies will be available in a lot of hip places, and it should
be fairly easy to find. Here's a promo
sheet with facts.
I will post an update here when
distribution is in progress. We are not taking any direct retail orders at
this point. Please do NOT contact me about buying single copies, check with
your regular dealer in a few weeks.
Thanks!

*** Book in progress! ***
The work on the printed book version of the Acid Archives is
progressing well, and the book will be available to order this coming Fall.
We are working round the clock to put
together the first ever comprehensive guide to the musical underground of the
1960s-1970s.
100s of new entries and reviews are being assembled, all of which will be
unique to the book. Every single entry is being scrutinized, corrected or
expanded. We are also giving the value ratings a total overhaul with brand new
data.
There will also be a buyer's guide, a glossary,
dozens of fun and informative top lists, previously unseen photos, a history
of the private press collector field, and much more.
Additions and corrections of this website will continue as time permits, but
as of 2006, the main archive will be the book version.
The Attic section has now grown
enough to become a website of its own. Take a look up there for cool and weird
olde curiosities.
