About a month ago, Avail’s Tim Barry stopped by Munford Elementary to perform some songs. Virgil from Surburban Home Records has decided to put the songs out onto a limited 7-inch release. The first run will include 300 on white vinyl and 700 on brown. It will most likely come out around the middle of September. Read below the jump for Tim’s official statement, along with pressing info.

This recording was never intended to be released. Ms, Kiesler asked me to play for her class and I agreed. Josh Small jumped on board soon after. I asked Dave Watkins to do an audio recording to give to the kids and teacher as a keepsake. A week later I uploaded the songs on my website and the response was impressive. I was offered the opportunity to release the songs and considered it for a couple weeks. My concern was that something as simple and fun as playing for kids could become a commodity. I settled on the fact that music is supposed to be shared, and that’s why I play it. With that said, feel good knowing that every single bit of profit from this release will go directly back into the classrooms at Mary Munford Elementary School. Thank you. -Tim Barry
