We have the unfortunate duty to inform those of you who have pre-ordered the new VINYL version Menahan Street Band's, The Crossing , that it will not ship on October 30th. We are sorry for any grief this may cause, but due to unavoidable circumstances, the records will not be delivered in time for street date. On the bright side NO ONE will have these LPs before you do. That goes for any record shop, hop, one-stop, depot, outlet, flea market, fair, or exchange. Anyone who pre-ordered, or orders this LP from our webstore right now, will be the first to enjoy this wonderful new record on the vinyl Long Player format. This is a disappointment for all of us, but we can guarantee we will get these LPs out to you as soon as humanly possible. Those of you who pre-ordered the LP will receive an email confirming the shipping date. Stay tuned for an updated LP release date! PLEASE NOTE: This does not affect CD orders and all CD orders are being shipped on October 30th with no delay. Rest assured, keeping our family satisfied with SOUL excitement is out #1 priority.
In addition to their role as the official house band for Brooklyn-based Dunham Records, Menahan Street Band has received critical praise for their oft-sampled 2008 debut album Make The Road By Walking (sampled by Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Kid Cudi, Curren$y and more) and for backing breakout soul singer Charles Bradley on his 2011 debut album No Time For Dreaming (co-written and produced by MSB co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Brenneck).
