My label, Fat Sandiwch is releasing You Should Be Living on vinyl. We've started a Kickstarter page to help raise the funds to make this happen. We offer amazing pledge packages ranging from $15-$60. We even have 2 test press packages left. Within the first week, we've already raised 43% of our goal. We are covering the rest of the costs out of our own pockets. Pledge and support great music from an amazing band!
