With the 15 year anniversary edition of Press On coming out on Friday, we thought we’d mark the occasion with an ultra limited edition run of t-shirts. Up for sale via my web store and Bandcamp, we’ve done a small run of 50 so we don’t expect these to last long. 100% organic cotton featuring a crew neck, short sleeves and side seams - for all you hardcore fans of Press On out there, these are a must have! They're ready to ship & looking sharp, so don’t hang around…

iDJ Magazine certainly were fans of 'Press On', going onto call the record “one of the finest albums of the modern funk era".

Check out this feature from back in the day & then pre-order the vinyl here: https://ffm.to/loa-press-on

“Already being hailed as a future classic…”

15 years after iDJ Magazine ran this feature around the album (I was 25 then, it was my first album and I was wet behind the ears to the industry and all its’ madness), Press On is finally being re-issued on vinyl next month. 🔥

A few months later when it was officially released, iDJ went on to say that it was “one of the finest albums of the modern funk era”. Which was nice of them wasn’t it?

Pre-order your copy now via the link in below and thanks to all who’ve ordered so far! 🙏🏻👊🏻

Pre-order >>> https://ffm.to/loa-press-on

Officially released on 25th March 2022, we've put together a very special package for you. The album comes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with an eight page booklet. The beautiful yellow, heavweight vinyl sits in a printed inner sleeve and for the liner notes, Craig Charles and Damon Minchella have written some words on what the record means to them and Adam (AKA Lack of Afro) also put together an essay on the making of the album, *plus* a track by track run-down of how it all came together.

The 100 limited editions are all signed and numbered by Lack of Afro himself and also come with a signed 10" poster which fits nicely inside the gatefold.

(The regular edition comes unsigned and without the signed poster).
