A second run of Motion Carries ordered
January 28, 2024
From the Emerald City Council social media pages:
Can’t believe we are making this post, but the album has been out for a week and two days, and we just had to order a second run of CDs!!!! Due to bulk orders from retailers, they are going quickly. Thanks to everyone that has ordered so far.
We still have a limited supply in stock, so if you want one, order now!! Otherwise, it will be a few weeks before the 2nd run arrives.
The green vinyl is also selling pretty steadily. We still have plenty at the moment, but as they are limited edition, when they are gone, they are gone!!
