SINKING SHIPS 7" TREASURE HUNT

THE HUNT IS FINISHED.

Here's the deal:
We hid 10 copies of the Excursion SINKING SHIPS 7" at various locations around Seattle. These copies of the record have special TREASURE HUNT covers that identify each individual record by location, and the vinyl is a little different from the regular press as well. All you have to do to get one of these records is figure out one of the 10 clues below and go find the record before anyone else does.

Just to give you an idea what you are looking for, the photo on the right shows the packages of records that were to possibly be hidden out in the elements.

All of the clues that we are going to give are below. There is one for each record. If you do find one of these records, send an e-mail to Excursiongame@aol.com and tell us what exactly was printed on the back cover and we will list you here as the successful hunter.

HAPPY HUNTING!
