Bones & The Aft Vinyl Update




Work on the vinyl edition of the new Liver & Lights publication,
Liver & Lights No 54. 
Bones & The Aft: The Rafter Habit
is nearly complete with the first fifty covers all hand printed (see image above)
and the books are printed too, what with each copy also 
containing a set of limited edition
signed prints pulled from the original plates 
before they crumble into
oblivion ....

If you paid up front, you can expect one of these to be delivered to 
you in the next few weeks.

If you haven't paid yet and want to get one of the second edition copies
(in another 8 weeks or so) then you have an other  four days before
the book is closed, so to speak....
As I mentioned before..I have to pay for them 
all up front so I cant afford to 'reserve' anyone a copy, or to 
'put one aside' for you. If you want one you will have to fork out!

In the meantime there are a few of the cd in the lovely box left
at £12.00....

Vinyl Lp Second Edition with hand printed cover and book
£25.00 plus £3.00 postage: By cheque  payable to Liver & Lights, 
posted to 229 Railton Road, SE2 40LX
or paypal to hanksoake@gmail.com 
or Bank Transfer (details on request)

Bones & The Aft New Album News

The Rafter Habit

Dear Loyal Friends and Supporters, we are delighted to announce the imminent completion of a brand new Bones and the Aft record!

More musically diverse than our debut album The Ear, The Rafter Habit contains a beguiling and diverse broth of  musical and literary perspectives, a collection of tantalising glimpses into our contemporary lives as we live them, tales from our London heartland via Rochester to the  Forest of Dean and onwards to the Isle of Skye  and beyond. 

Bones and the Aft are and remain John Bently, Moulder of Words, Ian Mckean, Guitars both Ancient and Modern and Lord Biscuit, the Son of Thor, the builder of thunder and rainbows.


The album will be inevitably and eventually be released in digital formats but only after being born in a variety of hand made limited edition ways, the production of  which we hope you will support by your purchase  in advance:


BOOK/CD
A Very Special limited edition printed box containing the cd itself and a book constituting Liver & Lights No 54, containing illustrated lyrics and more, decorated by hand printing and containing other covetable surprises £12.00


VINYL
An extra special extra limited edition bespoke 12 inch vinyl long playing 331/3 rpm record in a hand printed sleeve and containing signed prints and  real drawings of the band.
