We’re happy to be a part of the Bandcamp campaign to produce José James‘ new album “On & On: José James Sings Erykah Badu” on vinyl. 4.590$ were needed and in the end, 248% of that total were funded. Vinyl is now being produced and will be sent out in July.

In the meantime, José has added a few dates to his current itinerary.
