ARTHUR LABEL OF THE YEAR, 2005: THE NUMERO GROUP.

$88.00: A one year subscription to the Numero Group.

“Get all six 2006 records for one low price. Next year’s schedule is shaping up to be our deepest dig yet, with three Eccentric Soul releases, representing Miami, Detroit and Chicago, an incredible hippie-folk collection of Joni Mitchell’s unheralded competitors, a treasury of funky gospel, and a disco-rap bomb from Brooklyn that you might as well glue to your CD player. This offer is good only until January 31st 2006. You’ll regret passing it up in June.”
