JC Brooks & Uptown Sound ‘Get It Together’ LIMITED COLORED VINYL CHICAGO PRESSING! 45
After burning through the first pressing of ‘Get It Together’ b/w ‘I Am Trying to Break Your Heart’ over the summer and during the group’s Spanish tour, we decided to press a very limited “Chicago edition” of RF10 to celebrate the hometown of JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound, Wilco and the Rabbit Factory. There are only 250 copies featuring the colors of the Chicago flag — blue and white labels surrounded by beautiful, clear red vinyl. Includes download code & mini poster advert.
The black vinyl will remain in print but when this Chicago edition is gone it’s gone!
The video for ‘I Am Trying to Break Your Heart’ has just hit 100,000 views!
The band recently went on tour to Spain to promote the European release ‘Beat of Our Own Drum’ on Vampisoul. Check out their tour blog
Our friend Chuck Sudo reviewed the 45 for the Chicagoist!
