American Laundromat Records Launches 7” Vinyl & Digital Split Singles Program

STONINGTON, CT – NOVEMBER 21, 2006; indie-rock label AMERICAN LAUNDROMAT RECORDS has announced plans to release 7” vinyl split singles featuring new and previously unreleased tracks by their roster of artists and well-regarded indie-rockers.

Marrying old-school with new-school, American Laundromat will release 7” vinyl split singles for their fans and true audiophiles who wish to receive an actual record & prefer the warm sound of vinyl, but also make the tracks available on iTunes (exclusively) for those who prefer digital releases.

All singles (45 rpm) will be pressed on the highest quality vinyl for excellent sound reproduction, have a small hole, and feature original sleeve art designs. All singles will have a very limited pressing (only 500 hand-numbered copies worldwide) so these are sure to become prized possessions in any collection.
