Zaius Tapes is proud to announce the repress of Jim Shepard's dark, cathartic masterpiece, Picking Through The Wreckage with A Stick LP. Originally released by Siltbreeze in 1995, it seemed no plans were in order to see it in print again, so we took matters into our own hands. And you will all be the better for it! "Wreckage bears little to no resemblance to Shepard's proto metal-prog rock band, Vertical Slit. If anything it follows the trajectory of his debut LP Slit And Pre Slit. Both albums were made in the midst of grievous personal trauma & play out like Burroughsian cutups, interspersing Shepard's gallows wit against his distinctive sense of forbode. Or in the parlance of these dark times, something for everyone. I cannot think of any particular release or artist with which to pigeonhole, but it is certainly in the orbit of other unassailable iconoclasts such as Jandek, Kenji Haino, & Jackson C. Frank. As Shepard himself writes in the liner notes, 'Space is deep, El Fukko.' Edition of 300."—Johan Klepp (For Zaius Tapes).

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
