Depends on what you mean by 'limited', but yes. Further Out and Jar are definitely happening.

They still are a cheaper, quicker turn-around item, but what we're selling is not usually priced at $1-$5. Maybe I am wrong, and there are people out there losing money on every cassette they sell in the name of DIY, but those people are probably not getting cassettes professionally duplicated / printed in the first place. Tape labels that people on this messageboard follow or even own charge $6-$7.50 for 4-6 song EPs on cassettes. $11 or whatever our full length cassettes end up being after shipping is essentially a dollar two at most more than what it costs to download it from iTunes. AND it comes with a download. Also keep in mind we have tons of other expenses to recoup, like the cost of advances, recording costs, radio campaigns, publicists (sometimes multiple per record) pressing 5,000+ LPs, in store marketing, etc. You could say "well the tapes cost you $3 a copy, why can't you sell them for $6 and profit $3." Because after all of our costs, the tapes don't cost $3 anymore. Either way I am going to see if we can get them priced down a bit.

It's funny how people call it flipping when they want it. If you went to goodwill, found some jazz albums, came home and realized one was worth alot and sold it...everyone would tell you what an amazing score and sell it was

oh come on. people keep saying shit like "good thing I don't listen to these bands" or "these bands suck anyways" but this isn't about avoiding something. It's not about you. That dude still sexually assaulted a girl and a bunch of other bands and influential people in the scene denied that it ever happened. This is about not supporting bands and labels filled with rape apologists and offenders. It's not about "oh thank god i don't like this music anyways, so I"m off the hook". You don't need to like the bands to understand why this is horrible and people need to stop making this about themselves by ignoring the situation and just commenting on their musical tastes. this isn't directed at you - a lot of people have been doing this and it's been irking me.

Not sure if this breaks the rules since it's not technically a band/full label collection but it was tough to get regardless. Dino DNA variant came in today so I have all 4 versions now.

That point is silly because before they were a "cheap, fun item for bands to quickly get made" cassettes were the standard music format for twenty years, and in the 90's were costing upwards of $11 SRP in stores. Things change. We are charging $5-$7 for full lengths. Those are the same prices as every other label is selling for EPs, and 9/10 of those labels we're talking about do not have those expenses. Please stop looking for things to argue about and trying to make us the bad guy as if we're trying to do anything but give people another way to affordably buy music.

Yea this should be up online next week. I got a copy of the HT exclusive the other day and the package is awesome. Die cut cover, double insert and the white w/ black splatter vinyl looks great. Really nice package overall.

Calling it That PhotoShop took me an obscene amount of time to make...

Then how are we supposed to listen to the B side? *rimshot* *gets booed out of thread*

the only flipping I'm doing Is flipping on the grammar switch... You mean capital; capitol is a building, i.e.: State capitol. That's all I have to add to this thread. Laterz

You gotta love all these records they pull out of their "closet."

Is the dog 5, 10, or 15?

Same.

I really want that Turnover but $8+shipping for a cassette is poo

I'm just saying that if desperate times call for desperate measures, I'm not selling my Underoath TOCS for the $15 I paid. Fuck that.

I'm hoping they'll surprise us with a David Bowie pic disc single.

Nothing special. Probably gonna replace those A5's with Wharfedale Dentons with some stands, have a couple stacks of LPs hiding throughout the room I could put in those two cubes where the speakers are.

I think it's 10.50 but still

PRAISE NORMA

Got my first listen in today, this will be a strong AOTY contender.

I'll take Links Awakening if you're willing to send to Canada. Should be cheap in a tiny bubble mailer.

This is like 99% of people in the world's opinion. It's obviously a pretty niche thing no matter how you slice it.

Personally, I think tapes are dumb. They sound flat with no dynamic and don't personally see the appeal as far as releases go. Maybe i'm old school when DEMO TAPES were appropriate which is essentially what HVR is doing. But lets face it. I don't see Sony or anyone going back into the Walkman business. Just my two cents. Not saying anyone is right or wrong. Just an opinion and the reason i ALWAYS pass on tapes.

Here's my Wilco collection. It's all eight studio albums (AM, Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Sky Blue Sky Wilco The Album, The Whole Love), the three Mermaid Avenue albums, the Speak Into Roses 10", the Alpha Mike Foxtrot b-sides/rarities collection, and the Kicking Television live album boxset.

Mixed Signals on tape please

Maybe I don't - but this attitude is exactly why it has such a bad rep. It's that exclusive, "better-than-you" attitude that turns people like me off to it as a subculture. Seems pretentious. If you were willing to explain what attracts you to it in a positive light rather than being dismissive and vague, maybe there wouldn't be such a negative perception. Actually, I think me being a Bostonian is what makes me more sensitive to the label being thrown around. I've seen it associated with so many bands I consider to be uninspired and lifeless - and I've met countless (we're talking hundreds) of elitist douchebags touting around the label like makes everywhere who ever touched a cigarette to their lips the scum of the earth. I know they aren't all like that, but I have more experience (mostly negative) with the label than most, so it's definitely stained my perception of it. I really appreciate your perspective man and I'm sorry for derailing this thread a bit - I really didn't think it would spur this much of a reaction from everyone - but I do agree that it's awesome to see such positive discussion rather than flaming and stick / stone throwing. I think your positive perception of the lifestyle choice is great, and I wish it's something that more of your peers valued as strongly as you do. However, I think a big part of my point was that your lifestyle choices really has nothing to do with the music itself - it doesn't seem like someone with a tremendous amount of artistic integrity would want to primarily associate their band with their lifestyle OUTSIDE of the music. I completely agree that I hate seeing bands who tout themselves as "druggie" bands or "party" bands who promote lavish lifestyles, but that's more because I think the music should speak for itself. That was the point of my My Bloody Valentine comparison - on the other side, imagine if Radiohead spouted on about being this "drug-experience" band who loved tripping all the time. It just cheapens the music, in a way. Sort of endorses that fetishized, celebrity-worshiping attitude that, to me, couldn't be further removed from the actual art itself. It really shouldn't matter if you drink or if you don't when it comes to advertising your band - the music should be the music. Thanks for the discussion dudes.

Listen. I've flipped a record or two in my day, but if you're going to do it on here...be discrete about it. I knew somebody wanted that Sufjan 7" so I PM'ed them and sold it to them at an inflated price, but still far less than they'd be able to get it elsewhere. Seeing as it was tour only and going for $100+ everywhere else, $60ppd didn't seem that bad to him. Take into account the cost of tickets to the show ($40 + fees here), the cost of the 7" itself ($10), shipping, and that $60 just about let me break even on the night. What I'm saying here is that many of us may have flipped something once or twice, but there are some people who are huge offenders in this category, either doing it so often or asking absurd prices for stuff that they bought specifically to sell. If you want to sell records as a job, open a store. Obviously people on this forum aren't a fan of flipping, so making threads to flip, or mentioning in other threads that you're selling something new at an inflated price isn't smart. Sell stuff on eBay/discogs and don't promote it here, or privately contact people about stuff they want, and less users on here will hate you. Then maybe, just maybe, we can avoid stupid threads like this where everyone is just arguing about the semantics of what flipping a record really means.

For the record I currently only have 1 release with a j-card and it's not spray painted

This album slays Dopesmoker.

Yes some things don't sell out and then sit on shelves for years. Yes other things sell out instantly and are impossible to find. Easy pass equals people too impatient to wait for a full list of releases. Feel free to say pass when the full list comes out, but when just one or two things leak early it's silly to complain that nothing you want is coming out. Finally I don't know what to say to the guy complaining that he wishes it was more like old Black Fridays when indie stuff like the Ty Rex covers came out....he did see that that exact thing is on this years list right?

This may be the funniest post I've ever seen from you, and that's really saying something. 10/10

I think the new RSD pricing guide is about $2 per inch of vinyl.

birdtapes v2.0

Idk, tl;dr, stfu lol rly?

Ribeye is the only way to go. If it's not at least 20 ounces and 2 inches thick, you're doing it wrong.

In 2016 a thread will appear in the cassette collective board "a discussion about cassette flippers."

Sadly yeah... Shipped our first package to Canada last week and I had it listed as $10 but it ended up costing $13.45. Factor in paypal taking their chunk, the mailer, tape, etc and $15 covers everything. I hate how much it is... it's literally twice as much as the actual LP costs to ship it anywhere overseas and that's just an LP by itself. Yeah he was the assistant engineer attached to our 1 day at Q-Division. Great dude, awesome engineer, and all around fun person to hang out with in the studio! I believe it is /300 for the red and /250 for the black! And last but not least, a few brief words to chime in on this little discussion some people are having (by the way... I'm pretty glad to see that everyone who has chimed in are acting totally cool and actually discussing this as opposed to just trolling one another on the internet and acting like dicks!). Simply stated, we are a straight edge hardcore band. As has been mentioned, it is a pretty long running sub-sect of the hardcore scene and it in no way, shape, or form indicates that we feel we are better than anyone or that we want to belong to some popular, elitist subculture. @mellowtooth - You said this: "I tend to define myself (and my band) by the things we actually do, not the things we don't." and I get where you're coming from... but I'd implore you to switch your thinking on this in the following way. The viewpoint from which you're choosing to analyze 'straight edge' is coming from a negative spot. I am straight edge because I do choose to live a clean life, I do abstain from drinking and drugs, and I do try to have a positive impact on this world... note the "do" before each of those three things. They are all things I and my band mates do which, by your statement, is something we should have no problem defining our band by. From looking at it where you're standing and implying negative connotations and focusing on the things we "don't" do, you're completely missing where I'm coming from. (This is basically what user Fowty Dollaz pointed out already) I can totally understand why it's an easy thing to see it that way, because so much of the subculture IS that way. All of my best friends (other than the people in this band and a handful of other close friends around the country) all drink and choose to do whatever they want with their lives. That's their prerogative, not mine. Whatever floats your boat then go with that. I realize that being straight edge isn't for everyone and that's fine with me, but as it stands, it is an important aspect of my life and for the members of this band. Hopefully that makes sense? And last but not least to kind of return the question full circle, does it turn you off when bands tout themselves (and sing song after song about) as a full fledged, lets get hammered and never stop drinking kind of band? What about the numerous bands in the punk scene that fall into that category and specifically brand themselves, their merch, and their band image as being 100% in support of drinking alcohol or something similar (this is pretty prevalent in Boston, I believe)? Again, I'm not intending for this to come across as being some middle finger snarky retort but to continue the discussion. Thanks for everyone checking out the record and giving it a listen, we really appreciate it! Y'all rule and keep supporting music like you already do! <3

(Except leg day. Jesus skips leg day.)

Update .. The complete singles series

ANYONE WHO HAS PLAYED BOTH THE A AND THE B SIDES OF AN ALBUM HAS FLIPPED A RECORD

Great seller and a really nice guy! Help him out!!

I like how clean that all looks with all of the white. That being said, that's probably the worst possible location for your sub...

The dude with the glasses doing the talking is really annoying. Leave him out of the movie.

Pretty much. I would rather not give my money to Spacelab/Hot Topic/Travis anyway.

You could listen to it on Youtube at the same quality.

I will never understand why they don't have safer barriers around every wall of every track. I thought Gordon's crash where he tore the front off the car off was enough. Not a Busch fan but man I hope he's OK. And I get why these young Cup guys race every chance they get but I have no clue why sponsors don't have rules against it. Seems like every pro sport has a clause against it. It's not like the Cup sponsors for drivers are the same when they race other events.

you shouldn't keep your record on their sides ps you have a cool gravity defying room
