Darnoc Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 1 hour ago, spoon said: I think the only other album this year with microtonal instruments was Sketches (the track D-Day if I’m recalling correctly). MotU credits on the back of the jacket listed the instruments of each band member on the LP down to the brand and model, pretty cool stuff. Also Shuga have a pressing on clear wax supposedly shipping mid-December https://www.shugarecords.com/products/kinggizzardthelizardwizard-polygondwanaland-newvinyl2017shugaexclusiveclearvinylwithglow-in-the-darkslipmatandpostersticker-psychgarageinsanity The shuga one has a slip Matt and poster, interestingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.SteveZissou Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It still could happen if they get the proper licensing they need. Just as of this morning they didn’t have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if can't be done? Will all the buyers get their money back? Also, regarding the microtonal instruments used on Gizz's album.....I presume at some point, that there will be a FMB Vol. 2? I'm really loving this new album..it's superb! Inner cell is a great track! We're working on it as we speak. There will be no world where this pressing doesn't materialize and isn't fucking awesome. If there are any changes, backers will know and have the opportunity to alter or remove their pledge if need be. I promise there won't be any drastic scenario though.

jeromium Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Dammit I forgot to download this and put it on my phone last night. Means I can't play it in the car this afternoon when running errands! Ugh. Could download it to my work computer but won't have much of an opportunity to listen at work today. Really great to hear people are loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I would like to see what some of those die hard anti-flippers out there think of this release whats worse people buying the record from the band and then flipping it for profit or labels freely taking the record from the band and selling them for a profit?

The band said "We want you to do this" Pressing an album requires thousands of dollars. Not $20 so you can turn around and sell it for 2-10x that so...uh...not really seeing a point here. jeromium, Shelby and OneThreeOneTwo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time because they invest in the band. Either through advertising, funding recording, fronting money, and giving them a percentage. This band said "Fuck it, here's everything. Anyone can sell this." It still requires an investment, it's just that band is foregoing any involvement I'm not seeing how that's the same as buying a record for $20 and selling it for $200 OneThreeOneTwo and Shelby 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no comparison to labels 'taking' the music (which was freely given) and pressing records and making profit, to flippers. The way things are playing out is almost exactly what King Gizzard wanted - 'giving' the album to the public to do with as they will. I'm also not seeing the connection to flippers. And you bet your ass this release will do NOTHING to stop or ward off flippers. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeCeCe Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Most of the labels are also doing the releases at cost, or profits to charity & to the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's not like one dude pressed 200 and is selling them for $100+ each or something. People are investing their money and selling these at a normal retail price. That's not flipping. jeromium and OneThreeOneTwo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After combing through all the sites I would say at least half are either doing charity, giving some profits to the band themselves or selling at/below cost. Just that first site that was selling copies for 1 euro is gonna supply 2000 people with this way below cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the ones have seen have been a normal/reasonable retail prices. This helps small labels and it's something fun for some people to do as a one off.
