Digital download of the album
Thank you! Every little bit helps. This pledge will get you a high-quality digital download of the album in any format you like. [MP3, FLAC, ALAC, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, AIFF] Sorry, but it doesn't include any of the bonus digital tracks available to vinyl pledgers...
Vinyl album + Digital downloads
You get: A 12", 180g, black vinyl record with gatefold sleeve and 12-page colour booklet. + A high-quality digital download of the album itself. + Exclusive bonus digital tracks only available to vinyl purchasers. + Additional digital rare visual Partch material relating to the album. + Shipping is included, no matter where you are in the world!
Vinyl/digital + Guitar lesson
This pledge seems a bit far-fetched, but...if I'm in the same town/city as you are at some point and I've got it with me, I'm happy to show you how Partch's Adapted Guitar 1 works for an hour - you can even have a go at trying to play a bit of 'Barstow' if you like... + You get: the vinyl record, digital version of the album, digital exclusive stuff + worldwide shipping.
