Shellac At Action Park is Shellac's first LP. Previously the band released "The Rude Gesture (a pictorial history)", "Uranus" and "The Bird Is The Most Popular Finger", all seven inch 45s. They are all still available.
The album was recorded electrically, and features no overdubs, no guest appearances and no tiny cymbals that go "pish".
The LP format of Shellac At Action Park is an audiophile pressing, manufactured to classical standards. Mastering is all analog, direct-to-metal (DMM), and the records are virgin, dye-blackened vinyl, weighing 177 grams (the nice thick ones that don't bend).
The LP is being released somewhere between six weeks and a really long time before the cassette and compact disc, giving anyone teetering on the LP/CD fence ample time and no excuse not to buy the LP.
The LP and CD packaging were printed by Fireproof Press , a thriving Chicago concern most remembered for printing the Sof'Boy figurine package and the Tortoise LP jackets. The LP is a revival of the Uni-pak style record sleeve so popular with early 70's soul bands, in particular Rasputin's Stash.
Shellac is not promoted or marketed by anyone. Shellac's recordings are manufactured and distributed in Europe by Southern Studios.
