Tooth and Nail Records has officially begun its promotion of The Changing of the Guard. Their page for the album has the single, "Trucker's Son" up for listen and also features some insightful comments from Jason Martin regarding the theme of the album. "Trucker's Son" can also be heard via Sf59's Myspace page.

Lots of vinyl stuff coming up lately. Burnt Toast Vinyl is making plans to re-release the infamous Gold vinyl. Scott Hatch, owner of BTV, recently stopped by the forums and left this message:

Hey Everyone,
I'm prepping the re-issue of Gold on vinyl and trying to track down any sort of memorabilia from the related tours: Starflyer with Mortal in late 1994, Starflyer with Prayer Chain in September 1995, and Starflyer headlining in November 1995. Any photos, posters, ticket stubs, or audio/video recordings would be greatly appreciated. If you happened to promote one of the shows from those tours, would love to talk to you, as well.

Vinyl news! For those who haven't heard, Crossroads of America will be releasing the Old LP within the next month or two. Old was originally supposed to be released back in 2003 as a set of 10" vinyls in a gatefold jacket from Burnt Toast Vinyl. However, things never completely fell into place for it to happen. So we here at Sf59fans.com are very excited about the release of this long anticipated vinyl. There are a few ongoing discussions on the forum that you can check out here and here.

News from BurntToastVinyl.com

Test pressings for Starflyer 59’s The Changing of the Guard album will go on sale this Wednesday, 16 June at 9pm EDT. This will be limited to the first 25 purchasers and will cost $30.59. The Changing of the Guard will be an LP and a 7″ with two bonus tracks in a deluxe, thick gatefold jacket, similar to those used for Unwed Sailor’s Little Wars, Bosque Brown’s Baby, and mewithoutyou’s It’s All Crazy. The vinyl will likely ship prior to the artwork. Additionally, final production copies of The Changing of the Guard will be on colored vinyl and the test pressings are anticipated to be on the same colored vinyl if everything goes properly at the factory. The official release date of the album is Tuesday, 10 August, so test pressing purchasers will be able to hear the album in advance of the official release.

Pre-orders of the actual release will also begin this Wednesday. Additionally, two 7″ in the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future 7″ box set series were incorrectly pressed on white vinyl. We have a bunch of them. We’ll sell them to you as a $6.59 pair until they’re gone (without artwork since the excellent folks at HYMY Industries did not press enough extras to cover the mis-pressing).
