hyde park chicago, may 2003

mrhyde 002

a 79 minute compilation of current hyde park music.
released on may 13, 2003 to coincide with the third annual hyde park music festival.
limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies.

the cds have handmade linoleum print covers. each comes with three different color photographs (hundreds were submitted by the bands on the comp), so every cd is unique. needless to say, this project took many sleepless nights to complete.
