Searching For Heritage was originally released on a cassette tape and sold by John Butler while busking on the streets of Fremantle in 1996. In 2016 for the 20th Anniversary, a virgin tape was used to re-master the audio digitally for a limited edition vinyl release. The vinyl sold out in 36 hours. We are now offering the re-master recording as a 24-bit depth lossless audio download. This is the highest quality we can achieve for this historical recording.

Do you ship internationally?
These pre-orders are intended for Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Asia. Other nations can also order but be aware of taxes and import charges you may incur from your local laws. We do not collect taxes.
U.S.A - All orders to the USA are currently suspended as of 26th August. Tariffs have been introduced on the 28th August for Australia to USA, yet there is no guidance available from the US Gov to Australia Post on who pays, how to collect etc. The situation is up in the air and no one seems to know what is going on yet. We will keep an eye on the situation and update shipping to the USA when guidance has been established. Order from the USA store in the meantime.
