tomfiend Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Did anyone end up printing out their own copy of that scanned insert? I can't imagine it turning out too good because of the ink from the opposite sides showing up in the scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnstiles Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I got mine today. Haven't spun it yet. Really happy to own it, no dings, doesn't look warped at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyhi Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 so i talked to whomever is listing this on ebay and they changed their listing, acknowledging that it is indeed the repress. I still wish I could tell all the people bidding on this that they're making a big mistake. http://r.ebay.com/WzRt4O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine it turning out too good because of the ink from the opposite sides showing up in the scan. i actually intended on going down to the UPS store this morning and doing this on some red cardstock. i'm more worried about the size of the image that will print out. i can do the rest on the photocopier. either way, this would cost me less than $2, so if it's a failure it's no big deal.

Nah it doesn't I was working on making another one of my own, modelled on the original, with the lyrics for all 10 songs. I've only done the back so far. I was bored hahaha.

dreamover Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 One is 3MB and one is about 600K. The 3MB on is a bit clearer, but lighter. Both are two pages (font and back). They should be okay to print on colored paper like the original. PDF Insert for printing: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_sTgoYIxKXfOU5wYldiUy16ZTA/edit?usp=sharing (3MB, lighter)https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_sTgoYIxKXfdjBheERSTlpUNVU/edit?usp=sharing (600K, darker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crank! Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hey all... I know there is talk about the Mineral repressing so I just wanted to chime in and let you know the latest. We've been getting a *lot* of requests over the years for us to repress a whole bunch of the crank! releases - with all the Mineral albums being at the top of the list (of course that's no surprise on my side, I'm as big of a fan of Mineral as anybody!). We finally decided to do a repress and we made a very small allotment of special blue vinyl copies as well. (Of the many thousands of Mineral albums sold, I think there are a total of 150 colored vinyl available... so they are definitely rare!) To answer a few issues and questions that have come up: * We *really* apologize for some of the mailings that got bent or destroyed. As I hope you can imagine, that was completely unintentional. We have since fixed the issue and are sending replacement jackets to those that were effected. * The band does, in fact, get royalties from all of these records. In fact, one of the reasons we did a repressing is because crank! still owes the band members some royalties for past sales - and this is the type of thing that keeps me up at night. I don't like owing bands money for their music - it goes against the integrity we always have adhered to in running crank! I won't go into the economics here of running a record label, suffice to say, there's little to no money in an indie label these days. By doing a repress, not only will the band get royalties from all these sales, but it gives us a few extra dollars to pay the band back for what we owe already them. Suffice to say, anytime you buy a Mineral record from crank!, it helps the band. (And anytime you buy one on ebay, it doesn't). * The Power of Failing artwork is the original artwork, with a few extra changes that had to be made this time around. For the most part, it's the same thing as the first release. The picture on the front is a couch in the snow. It's a picture that the band members had when we were originally pressing the record. It may or may not have been owned by one of the band members - I don't remember that specific - we all just thought it was pretty cool. As with all Mineral and Gloria Record releases, the band's bass player and graphic design genius, Jeremy Gomez, had a lot to do with the design. In terms of there being a bar code on some records and not a bar code on others... we originally released the album without a barcode. Frankly, we thought it looked a lot cooler that way. Barcodes are ugly. Lo and behold, we soon found out that it was tough to sell the record at retail stores without a barcode, so our distributor forced us to put one on. Barcodes are still ugly, if you ask me. Unless it's made into a Black Flag logo... but that's a different topic altogether. * We would *love* to repress EndSerenading too, and it seems the demand is huge for it. Our big problem is finding the original artwork. Give us a little bit of time on this one and we'll try to get that done for you. I hope this helps answer a few questions. Let me know if you have any others. And, as always, huge enormous heartfelt thanks for everybody's continued support of crank!

scottheisel Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks for chiming in, Jeff. Can you clear up the whole eight songs/10 songs confusion in here, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 that didn't really clear up anything except 1. sorry about mailing records in envelopes 2. crank owes mineral money even though they left the label a decade ago and 3. hopefully the artwork will turn up so endserenading can get a repress.

Oh really? I would've thought saddle creek would've done a repress, they keep most of their stuff in print. Also you don't you have all of the crank! cursive releases? Edit: I emailed saddle creek and the have NO plans to repress sbsfse or soessos. jerks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy plays bass Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Cool, so I guess I have the first, first version. And I'm definitely hoping a repress of Endserenading happens, since I'd rather buy from the label if possible, and I don't really want to spend Ebay prices on it anyway.
