Mean Jeans – On Mars black vinyl LP and CD out now!

Red vinyl has not been pressed yet. Will probably be in late next week at the soonest.

If you would like an email notification when the red vinyl is available, take a moment to register an account at www.greennoiserecords.com, if you haven’t already.

On the My Account Information screen, go down to Email Notifications, and make sure the Subscribe Or Unsubscribe To Newsletters box is checked. This is the only way you’ll receive email updates from Dirtnap, even if you were on the old email list.

The good news: Mean Jeans On Mars black vinyl, CD, and digital will come out on Tuesday afternoon as scheduled.

The bad news: The color vinyl (both the red mailorder version and the clear vinyl retail edition) has run into production delays, and will not be in till late the following week.

For a variety of reasons, we are no longer going to be using our old email list. To continue to receive email newsletters from Dirtnap, you need to do the following:

Log into your Green Noise Records account. The first screen should say “My Account Information”. Go down to “Email Notifications” and hit “Subscribe Or Unsubscribe To Newsletters”, and then check the box that comes up.
