Buy A Double Crown CD And We’ll Send $4 To Haiti For Earthquake Relief

Double Crown Records — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 07:22:18 +0000

My wife and I were talking about the earthquake in Haiti and decided we wanted to send a donation to help the people there during what is sure to be a long recovery process. I thought that maybe instead of just sending “x” amount of dollars, I’d tie it in with the record label. So from now through the end of January, we’ll donate $4.00 for every full-length Double Crown CD purchased through our website. This includes any of the following releases:

V/A – Seasonal Favorites: Volume One Reissue + Bonus Tracks CD – DCCD09
Big Ray & The Futuras – Desolation Planet CD – DCCD11
The Footstompin’ Trio – The Foot Stompin’ Trio CD – DCCD14

Burt Rocket – Savage Iceland CD – DCCD36

Click here for a list of Double Crown Records releases.

At the end of the month I’ll do a follow-up post letting you all know how much money we’ll be sending. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for where we should send the money, please post a comment.

Also, if you are shopping at CD Baby, and order one of our releases through them (a CD or a digital download) they will donate $1 per release for a two week period starting on January 25th.

If you want to send a donation, but don’t want to purchase a Double Crown disc at this time, you can donate $10 to the Red Cross by charging it to your cell phone bill – just text “HAITI” to “90999.”

Thanks,

Sean

New Lower Price For Our Acclaimed Frankie & The Poolboys CD

Double Crown Records — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:14:00 +0000

Our first run of Frankie & The Poolboys CD’s sold out rather quickly, so we got on the horn with our manufacturer and had another batch made. Since we now have so many, we’ve decided to lower the price and keep ‘em movin’! Grab this disc for the low, low price of $9.75 from the Double Crown Music Shop.

Double Crown scours the world ceaselessly looking for the finest surf and instrumental rock talent this planet has to offer.
