PO: Chris Staples - American Soft (Twothirtyeight, Discover America)


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

I would love to do a BHBE run of 100 records, but I'd have to do a stripped down version...  Probably one of the Gotta Groove DIY packages. Originally, Chris, Daniel and I were going to put this out but it sorta died when Barsuk picked up American Soft and they asked us not to release it right away to give American Soft another bump.

 

If we did a Kickstarter and it was fully funded to cover the cost of the production, I would do it in a heartbeat. Not interested in making any money on the project, just want to find 100 hardcore fans who also want it and will split the per unit cost evenly between everyone. 

 

100 records at $1350 (not including stamping the center labels, shipping from the factory, shipping from me to you). Media mail alone would be $400. Shipping from the plant would (total guess) $150. Plus getting a handmade stamp for the A/B sides of the labels. 

 

I think it'd be right around $2,000 total. So $20 per unit? Does all of that math seem right to everyone?

Don't swap it. Check this for RTC: http://recessionrecords.bigcartel.com/product/twothirtyeight-regulate-the-chemicals

But shoot them an email first to see if they're still in business.

 

 

Also, SUPER down for a /100 BHBE. Even two if I have to get it done. You could have the kickstarter pledge options as 1 record, 2 records, 3 records, 4 records... People might want more than one, like me. Also, don't forget an "add X dollars for int'l shipping", if you don't wanna lose money (but make it reasonable).

^ The label owner Jesse Barnes never responded to my order, my follow up emails, Big Cartel's notice, or the PayPal claim.

I actually got a copy of RTC from Recession not too long ago.

I also have a test pressing of BHBE that I might be willing to trade. Not 100% sure but it's a possibility I could let it go.

 

Can you please PM me how you were able to order from them (what store/email you used to order, when, any other tips)?  Thanks!!!
