We were the kind of kids who read alot of comic books. Titles like Marvel Team Up, What If? and Marvel Two In One were our favorites. Titles where the idea of superheroes who lived in the same neighbourhood getting together from time to time to beat up on dudes like Zarrko the Tomorrow Man was completely legit and plausible.
We here at La Ti Da Records like to believe a world like that can exist. To do our bit, we asked Needles//Pins to team up with Felix Fung for a little crimefighting at Little Red Studios this past Saturday. The results are amazing:
A-Side: Getting On Home
B-Side: Picture My Face
Recorded by Felix Fung at Little Red Studios, Vancouver BC, May 12th, 2012
500 copies total: 350 black, 150 color.
