The last 15 copies of The Fourth Old Life Compilation were dropped off at Ditch Records a few days ago. I think they are $3. The comp is probably the last Old Life release. For your Victoria music needs please see Fan Club Music Club, Bruised Recordings, or Bold Life. Andrea and I are also starting something new! UPDATE: DITCH HAS 7 MORE COPIES (as of October 11)
