You reached your objective and we’ll take care of the rest for you

*If you reach your pre-order treshold, the production is secured and launched. If you don’t reach this treshold, the project is canceled and everybody is paid back in full. You can also decide to fund the rest of the production yourself. Then, you’ll have to wait 8 weeks for manufacturing, before we ship the records to your contributors.
