📦 Shipping Update + Bandcamp Friday Exclusives (May 2025)
First off, thank you to everyone who’s supported our pre-sale releases. We know we're running behind schedule and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.
📦 Shipping Update
Electric Music Volume 3 is currently about 2 months behind our earliest estimated shipping date. However, we’re now in the final stages and expect to ship in the second half of May.
As I mentioned during the EMV3 pre-sale, we might have needed to extend the pre-sale across two Bandcamp Friday events to ensure we had the necessary funds for manufacturing. This turned out to be the case after increases in manufacturing, packaging, and shipping costs hit us at the end of 2024. This delayed the start of production by a few weeks. We do everything possible to avoid delays, but some things are outside of our control. Shipping costs are currently fluctuating, but we’ve so far managed to keep our shipping rates the same.
All our vinyl releases so far were made possible only because of your support. We rely on your word-of-mouth and a relatively small group of genuine fans on Facebook and Bandcamp. We believe in this thing staying organic and honest. The nature of these projects, the reliance on pre-sales and uncertainty in costs and expenses over extended periods means delays are somewhat inevitable. BUT even if we are late, we always deliver!
As a little thank you to all pre-sale supporters, we’re including an exclusive “Supporter Edition” sticker with all qualifying orders. These will only be included in orders placed before shipping begins.
✨ The Space Between the Stars (Vinyl Redux)
This release has experienced even longer delays, but it’s finally in production and on track to ship in May. To manage costs, we have limited the first vinyl pressing to 500 copies. While this helps keep things financially viable, it also makes this first edition pressing that bit more special and rare.
🚀 Electric Music: Transmissions Volume 1
Our earliest ETA for this was early June, but unfortunately, this will slip a few weeks. This is the largest project we have undertaken so far, with more licensing obligations, greater upfront costs, and a few technical challenges that increase manufacturing costs.
We are deliberately moving slowly to ensure this amazing collection of tracks gets the attention to detail it deserves. This short delay will also allow us to sell a few more copies (can you believe it didn't sell out?) to help cover some unexpected extra costs. (Glow-in-the-dark vinyl isn't simple or cheap!)
To answer a common question: Yes, ALL tracks on Transmissions Vol.1 are original length. We are currently awaiting stamper production and test pressings, and aim to ship in late June.
As with any of our pre-sale releases, we rely entirely on your upfront purchases to fund them. We understand that delays can be frustrating, and we will always refund your order if you no longer wish to wait. But we’re incredibly grateful to all of you for putting your faith in us. You know we’ll deliver, and you know it will be worth it!
🛍️ Bandcamp Friday Offers (May 2nd)
This may be the last Bandcamp Friday until winter, maybe ever, so it’s the perfect time to support us directly. Bandcamp waives their fees, meaning more of your money goes directly to us. This really helps us continue, grow, and reinvest into the label.
And if you're in the US, these offers can even help offset the 20% import tariff on EU goods that you're now likely to pay! Sales completed before the tariff implementation date should be protected.

These same offers will also be running on our webshop. If you're in the UK or EU, please consider ordering directly as it's not only slightly cheaper for you but helps us even more:
- Bandcamp prices are shown exclusive of VAT
- toneplayrecords.com prices are shown inclusive of VAT
- When you order direct from us we pay less in fees and we, not Bandcamp, receive the VAT tax break. This costs you nothing extra but really helps us keep prices down and invest in the label.
