hickey Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Oh, it's definitely stupid. I'm just not that concerned about it, because I don't have to participate if I don't want to. This conversation raises an interesting question, though: what percentage of indie vinyl is sold in physical stores versus online? For smaller labels, is it even worth it to be in stores anymore?

birdwell Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Oh, it's definitely stupid. I'm just not that concerned about it, because I don't have to participate if I don't want to. This conversation raises an interesting question, though: what percentage of indie vinyl is sold in physical stores versus online? For smaller labels, is it even worth it to be in stores anymore? From my perspective it makes sense to still have a portion in Brick and Morter stores. There are times when shopping online for certain items is easier.....but clicking through page after page of releases in a website isn't the same experience as going to your store and sifting through the bins. In addition to that the size of the label could actually benefit from selling through stores, even if it's all done by way of consignment....not having to rent a larger space to hold unsold stock could keep a tiny label afloat for a little while longer. Clearly there are pluses and minuses to both sides of this...but for instance Suburban Home (original owner/creater of this board), among many other issues, was spending waaaaay too much on storage facilities for their Distro and releases...one of many factors that resulted in their closure. Had he kept it a small label/Distro at his house and just sent all product to other distros and independent Brick and Morter stores maybe he'd still be in business and the Co-Op would still be going ect.

just a normal guy kevin Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Speaking of RSD, this 40+ year old record shop in my area said that the White Stripes release was never made available to them via any of the distributor lists, yet a video rental store across town with a small vinyl wall (that has been there three years max) got copies of Elephant- one of which was still there a week ago when I visited and found out they stocked vinyl. Is the system for fulfillment random? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just a normal guy kevin Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Was it the RSD Elephant or the wide release? RSD version. Had the lenticular cover and was $41.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just a normal guy kevin Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 My error...Gbms not Elephant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 I have one. Had a sale thread for it a while ago too. PM me an offer on it. I will for sure if you've still got it in a month or two. I recently got a new phone, so I'm limiting my record budget. I thought bake saw one being sold at a store, so I assumed it would be sold at the original price (something I'd jump at considering its current online prices). But yeah, I'll totally keep you in mind after I get a few more paychecks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not desperate to let it go, but I'll cut you a better deal than the $116 I see on discogs right now for sure. That's ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Much appreciated, Macho Man! No prob, brotherrrrr. I picked it up at RSD whatever year that was not really being a huge WS fan and trying to see what the appeal was, but I just can't get into them, so it's been sitting on my shelf since its first listen. ::shrug:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If the macho man ends up giving you a flying elbow on the deal, PM Me and I'll sell it to you for the price of some Gnome trousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one that sounded so shitty I couldn't even listen to it. When Jack White was playing those distorted lead things that go high like in Black Math it hurt my ears.
