Leopold and His Fiction to release new album on vinyl only

Leopold and His Fiction were on our radar earlier this year. They will be back with a new album in 2009. It will be released on vinyl only. This is a risky step right now, but eventually we think (hope) everything will be released either digital or vinyl. We shall wait and see. In the meantime read about LAHF below.
