HUGE news in the Outer Battery world, we're releasing a limited edition live LP from OFF! With original artwork from Raymond Pettibon, there are just 1000 copies of this LP, pressed on red, white, blue and yellow vinyl. The official street date is August 6th - these will begin shipping at the end of July - but we're taking pre-orders now to make sure that everybody who wants a copy gets one. Act fast people, these will not last long...

If you did not receive an order confirmation then sorry but we are completely sold out!
