danionly Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 From a recent interview: ABS: You guys have gone on the record about your dislike of major labels, with one of your major issues being ownership of Illuminate so that you could get it out on vinyl. I came across a vinyl pre-order for the album – does that mean you got it back?LA: No. ABS: Was the pre-order real?JC: It’s real. It’s just unfortunately not going through us. We are going to be releasing it ourselves shortly. We just haven’t been able to announce it yet because all the packaging isn’t put together. ABS: So where’s that pre-order from?LA: The pre-order is through a completely different company that unfortunately went underneath us and just cut us out of the loop. How it works is - a major label - they don’t care. It’s just money. They sold the rights to a company that has nothing to do with us and then they put the pre-order up for sale because they knew the demand was there. We’re doing our own sale but we just haven’t announced it yet. ABS: Are you going to see any royalties from that?LA: No. Zero. ABS: How’d you find out about it?JC: I found out on Twitter.LA: I found out on Twitter as well. People have been tweeting saying, “I can’t believe it’s on vinyl now!” We’re like, “Ugh.” ABS: Are you planning to set the record straight?LA: We haven’t yet, but we will be. We’re trying not to make a war out of it. We’re trying to be professional about it. ABS: And also releasing it on vinyl yourselves?LA: We’re going to release it on vinyl ourselves. The reason that it’s kind of a bummer to me is because they did it on a substandard version of a disc so it’s not going to sound very good. We’re going to do it on a really high quality version.

kjkenney Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Sucks their label did this. Sucks more that they were so young not knowing what they were signing back when this was put out. Sucks d, but they probably could have covered their bases better when being signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks d, but they probably could have covered their bases better when being signed. wasn't it originally an indie release? the cd was originally released on linc star, the second run on low altitude. are those under a major label umbrella? because i was under the impression they were just indie labels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hold your breath, bands love to bitch about someone else pressing their record, then never making good on their end when they say they were gonna go all out on the pressing. The Mars Volta camp did the same shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own all of the first four, and given anything I've heard the band master their copies would probably sound like ass anyway. would totally hop on a band press of the Lydia though. I randomly saw them last year and it was pretty cool too, they had a whole string section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of a 16 year old who heard Circa Survive the first time they smoked pot and thought they were "transcendent" and that was basically every Volta fan I've ever met in person.
