VIETNAM - LIMITED EDITION VINYL EP #1 (NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 EP)

Vietnam EP #1 on Limited Edition LP

The Social Registry are pleased to present the first of three limited edition 12" EPs from VietNam. Each of the three features a track from the band's forthcoming self-titled full-length (soon to be released on Kemado), along with tracks recorded recently at the band's Freedom School Compound, a store-front apartment/studio that the band shares with producer Matt Boyton in Brooklyn, NY. These recordings capture the band cutting loose, writing and recording at their will, and form a perfect counterpoint to their professionally recorded full-length.

This first 12" features Te Quiero which is written and sung by local neighborhood Puerto Rican guitar maestro Johnny Torres with VietNam as back up. Johnny Torres has been playing since the late-50s and is a regular fixture at VietNam's notorious store front home. He dropped by during one of the band's photo shoots and stuck around long enough to perform and record this song. "It's Not Me" has been a live standard of the band's for some time, although this is the first time that it has been officially released. The record closes with "Dorothy, Devil & the Lawyer," a reprise of the first track, "Priest, Poet & the Pig" in a marching jug-band style, that even features the sound of the band marching.

Each of these three EPs are pressed in a thousand copies a piece on 140 gram vinyl, packaged in two color silk screened matching jackets, with hand-pulled silk-screened dust jackets/labels and are all hand numbered. They perfectly compliment each other providing a multi-faceted vision of the band as they currently stand, and capturing the full spectrum of VietNam's sonic palette.
