flood Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 http://asbestosrecords.bigcartel.com/product/asbestos-2012-subscription http://asbestosrecords.bigcartel.com/product/asbestos-2012-subscription toying with the idea of offering a subscription series for upcoming asbestos releases, since we have so many things coming up... wanted to see if you guys would be down for something along the lines of this: $100 + $40 shipping. you get the next 20 points worth of records we release, and are gauranteed the rarest color available... so no sweating preorders 2xlps = 4 points LP/10" = 2 points 7" = 1 point It would be US only (since we have some shipping restrictions on licensed stuff) and would include everything we release except the ska is dead club (just out of the risk of it overlapping a subscription and having the person miss out on one or two) but it would offer a significant savings on per unit prices over the long haul... what do you guys think?

catalinacaper Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't see how this is anything like SH4L.. he has probably more than 20 points worth of releases already in the works between the ska reissues and everything else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Possibly if you can promise that you will no longer release anymore Sum41 albums. haha i can't promise they'll never be another one... but theres a ton of stuff on the agenda before another one would get done, all of which would be more pleasing to the board.

hickey Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The concept is great, but once there's a delay or something doesn't go quite as planned people will head for the hills and demand refunds, etc...And if you fuck up with the shipping or some people don't get their records, etc...you're doomed. I don't think it's worth it. It's like a massive pre-order and you don't know what you're getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 if i didnt have so much stuff at the plants already i wouldn't offer it.. but if you subscribed at this point you'd have all of your records by july Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrc Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 i like the points system but it seems like there should be more of a price break per record for putting down $100+shipping at once. I know you get the rarest color which is nice, however 1 point = $5 so 7"s and 2xLPs are the same costs as your store now, so there is absolutely no cost savings on those (not to mention the 2xLPs that are priced at $16-$18). LPs marked at 2 points can save $4-5 bucks a piece which is nice, but for me saving $4-$10 over the next 3 months (seeing you use all your points by July) is not enough to savings to plunk down $140 up front. Seems like it would be easier to cherry pick the releases you want. Just my thoughts, not that they matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 http://asbestosrecords.bigcartel.com/product/asbestos-2012-subscription this is up if anyone is interested... its obviously not a perfect system, and we'll be throwing in shit for subscribers now and again as a thanks for the support.. as we have tons of weird shit laying around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntoutat22 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 http://asbestosrecords.bigcartel.com/product/asbestos-2012-subscriptionthis is up if anyone is interested... its obviously not a perfect system, and we'll be throwing in shit for subscribers now and again as a thanks for the support.. as we have tons of weird shit laying around here I'm one of the few that actually want that Sum 41 record. If I purchase the subscription, would I be guaranteed that? Cause out of all the stuff ya'll are releasing, AKNF is #1 on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'd only consider doing this if it included an Asbestos shotgunator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 So basically you get all the above release plus an unknown 7" later on? Assuming I added the points together correctly? Or is it a pick and choose points system? Like you said you have tons of other things lined up what if I don't want one of those records you have listed can I save the points for another. If not, there doesn't seem to be any point to the points system. Just call it a subscription for the next 10 releases. That being said I am interested.
