Carthage Vs Rome Records

Welcome to the new page. As always, it's not fancy, but it gets the job done. The job? To lose vast quantities of money pressing vinyl no one will ever listen to. So enjoy.

Anyway, enough with the spiel. There's stuff for sale, sure. If you're interested, CarthageVsRome 001-003 were cassette tapes put out about 6-7 years ago and no longer in print (though collected on the Failure Records 'Punic Wars' collections).

All the First Punic War stuff, you can listen to for free at the First Punic War website.

007 has been held up (what else is new, we're all liars) However, CarthageVsRome008 is out, and hopefully you will be delighted. It is a split 7" featuring Teen Pussy and Family Unit, each band doing 3 songs. 6 songs, 7 inches, 33 1/3 rpm, 2 colour art on the front, 4 colour on the back, 6 bucks including shipping. Does it get better than that? Probably...

CVS #7 still coming, 8&9 are/were secrets, but CarthageVsRome #10 is officially here.

10 song 7" available on orange or gray vinyl. 6$. Too much? You can just download the thing (in flac, mp3, or ogg format!) at archive.org. Don't say we didn't do anything for you.

We still have copies of the Teen Pussy/Family Unit split:

CarthageVsRome 007 - Vanessa 12" - The Third Punic War - coming summer '06, I promise

CarthageVsRome 006 - Canada Day 7" - available for pre-order only, this special record is mailorder only, and will be mailed only on July 1st, Canada Day. Vinyl will be purple, the cover will be a full colour insert, and there will be various treats inside for the geeky record collector. Maximum sent out will be 100, and any not sold will be destroyed on the last day of June, meaning they will be numbered x/y, with y being actual amount sold. 5$ to U.S. and Canada. OBVIOUSLY SOLD OUT

CarthageVsRome005 - Unicorn 7" - 3 song 7" (Unicorn, Punk Rock, Simon The Sailor). Available on candy yellow or pink swirl vinyl. Not hand numbered or anything, but there's only a couple hundred left...

CarthageVsRome 004 - Candle EP - 7 song 7", shat on by critics worldwide. Folk music for those who hate things like production values or people who practice their instruments. On orange vinyl, hand numbered edition of 325. $5.00 for 15 minutes of music, you can't go wrong.

Yes, all links are PayPal...you can pay with a credit card, bank account, or PayPal account. I don't like it too much either.
