Hi. So a couple things Id like to point out: This company keeps saying this is an "official" release, yet they will not publicly say where it is licensed from. If it is licensed, what danger is there in stating who licensed it? Also licensing out a single, already published cd, does NOT give you rights to original masters, which means this is 100% a cd audio release on vinyl, which defeats the purpose of it being on vinyl in the first place. There is also the fact that this is a kickstarter. If they are such big "fans" of the game, and not just a horror movie soundtrack label trying to cash in on popular game franchise, wouldn't they have the courage of their convictions to fund it themselves as something they want to see made? There is a lot of rhetoric about how its immoral to release something to FANS without giving money to Nintendo or the composers (who again dont own rights to their own music and get zero money from a license anyway), but if this isnt licensed by Nintendo (and it 100% isnt) and they get no money from it and the composers get no money from it, then how is this any more artistically morally sound than a bootleg release, other than giving money to some giant corporation that had no hand whatsoever in the creation of the content other than funding the publishing of it? Also thanks for following me on my mailing list

too late

Ok, um, so thats a weird thing to say, seeing as I could say the EXACT SAME THING to you. First of all, I was not against this release AT ALL (at least I wasnt 3 months ago when it was deceptively announced as the soundtrack to Earthbound Zero and not the 1989 arranged cd) http://www.reddit.com/r/gamemusic/comments/2mievx/we_are_releasing_mother_earthbound_zero_ost/ I LOVE the idea of people making game soundtracks on vinyl, official or unofficial, and like Ive said before, if I wanted to do this for money, I couldve ripped some shitty quality mp3s online and slapped some random official artwork from the game off google images and cranked out a ton of releases and people still wouldve bought them cause this is music people want on vinyl regardless. But I genuinely care about what Im doing and whether they've been official or not, Ive made them with nothing but care and respect for the people buying them as I wanted to make something that I would personally want, even if I wasnt the person doing it. People that get up in arms about not getting licensing, have NO IDEA what the process involved is like and now that I know, I can tell you that it isnt some point A to point B process like regular soundtrack licensing is. Also this company attacked ME. Personally and aggressively. They stole emails from my mailing list. They threatened to sue me over a single 1 minute track that they didnt even own, probably purely cause they thought that, somehow, it would cut into their bottom line. And the funny thing is, even if it was just some arranged cd vinyl album I wasnt personally into, I wouldve done whatever I could to help them with their release, because I think game music on vinyl, is only a positive thing. Also, after they spammed my list, I also had 3 separate people offer to hack their website and facebook but I emphatically told them not to do that because, I am NOT trying to battle these people. I just want to be left alone. I am just trying to do put something into the world, that people can legitimately enjoy, at great personal cost to myself because its something I believe in. Thats all. Oh, and yes 3 composers have received payments and the only reason its not more is because finding contact info for some of these people is extremely difficult, but I will continue to do so with every release, even the licensed ones, as again, they get NO MONEY from a license. Ive also already had people donate over $400 to the charity childsplay for just test pressings (which I couldve easily sold for profit for the same amount or more). And will hopefully raise over 10 times that with the actual records. So if you think you have some moral high ground on this, fine. But dont talk to me like Im some selfish asshole just trying to get a quick buck.

That's a lot of words for a Brand New thread. Can you summarize with a couple cat gifs and a picture of Shaq?

If people get this angry and argumentative about video game music, I would hate to see them play a physical video game.

I'm am amazed that someone could/would buy a lot of 5000 records and have no concept of where to go to determine what records they have or the potential value of the records. Was this your first foray into records? It's like this is the Storage Wars of vinyl. Then you post the question on the INTERNET to find the answer...that was probably available on the INTERNET...by doing a search on the INTERNET. Seriously though, there is no way you just decided to get into listening to records so you thought the best, most economical way to do so would be to buy 5000 of them all at once.

Hey man, i'm really sorry if this sent the wrong message. We have a few "damaged" copies of Guardians that we are going to put in the pop up shop... we are waiting on replacement jackets for the ones that we want to send to customers as mint condition. I promise you we aren't sitting on stuff we aren't sending to customers. Please send me a message if you want to discuss further.

I hate this thread

*throws downvotes and upvotes all over the damn place*

I'm really sorry you still haven't received your GOTG. I promise it's not intentional. We were intentionally vague about shipping times because we were concerned about the problem we are having, which is that some of the screen printed jackets arrived in less than stellar condition. We had some reprinted and we are going to send the final wave of orders out as soon as they arrive from being scored and glued. I'm sorry you've had to wait so long, but I promise it's not because we forgot!

Will this have the Secret World of Alex Mack? She made me feel funny when I was in my younger years.

Just found one at my local shop hiding in the clearance shoe gaze bin! Stoked! $8.32 with tax

It looks good, which is always a plus. It would be nice if there was a way to give you a list based on stuff you like so that you aren't flooded with a slew of records irrelevant to your tastes, without having to create a list of artists in this standalone app. If you're pulling the info off discogs, perhaps it could read your "already have" records and show you new releases by THOSE artists first?

directly ripped from nsf files and directly mastered into uncompressed 24bit wav files. Being that game music is a essentially a digital format, it may seem retarded to call out things for "audio quality" but I think if youre gonna make something for vinyl, you might as well make it as high quality as is physically possible and not just rip stuff from already sourced media with an already defined bit rate. Also the "original" Mother track on the cd has a bunch of weird post processing on it and an echo filter. So its not the same as ripping it from the game itself. Just saying.

In other news, the Hotline Miami 2 Soundtrack came in on Saturday. The artwork is hella dope! I haven't had a chance to spin it yet, but the vinyl sure looks purdy.

stl_ben and Kermit downvoted me, I will never recover :-(

6 diamond disk Edison test pressings.

I don't know how much of this can be attributed to groovewear, but the copy I briefly owned sounded like absolute garbage - it was misgraded by a Discogs seller who "only played it once", neglected to mention it was on a Crosley though. So there was a moderate amount of persistent surface noise, and underneath that the audio was quite distorted. If that distortion is not inherent in the cut itself, then you will be hard pressed to find a copy of the original without it unless it is sealed. It seems that nearly every person who owns this record owns a Crosley as well, if any tumblr/instagram picture I've ever seen of this record is any indication, or going based on people I know who own it. Unless specific details about the remastering process are given I wouldn't expect this to sound any better or worse. Not that it really could sound much worse. That said, it's easier to take a $40 chance than a $400 chance. I understand your concerns, but this is far from an audiophile recording. If you're expecting to be blown away and amazed by hearing this on wax, don't.

We can, we just can't handle people who go off the handle for no reason. No one cares about your opinion of this record. There is a whole area for complaining about nothing. So go post it there. Your elitist attitude is bummin the vibe, Man.

The price on the normal version of Deja in stores on May 5th will be $28.98. Not limited. On black.

I wanted a simple way to view new vinyl releases/reissues, so I wrote an app: http://fresh-records.com/ Features include: Find record on Discogs (if available) Preview on Spotify (if available) Wish list (when a record in your wish list is released, you'll receive an email notification) Follow artists (when a record for an artist you're following is released, you'll receive an email notification) Suggestions and comments welcomed! Note: The Amazon link has a referral code in it.

just grabbed one. too cool to pass up

I'm Ricky Bobby and if you don't drink Shaq Fu...

It's really amusing that this guy takes the time to constantly bump this thread and grade these records......but then ships them like an absolute idiot.

you can't pay rent with good karma buddy

Since I need to average one per week... inb4

Sure, http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/101710-why-the-fuck-did-i-sell-that/page-3?hl=%2Bselling+%2Bregrets#entry1892953

Maybe Ben can flip a couple copies of the unofficial Mother OST to Kermit

As long as they didn't pause during the commercial breaks, that's fine. I would love to have the Crossfire jingle on wax. You'll get caught up in the Crossfire. Crossfire. Crossfiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Dude, have some sex or something

DAMN, TOASTED! ...?

A few things to ponder Quiet City 1. That is way too much effort put forth for an online forum about records. 2. We don't care about a thread you started in a different part of the internet and how many views/posts or whatever it has. 3. Not everyone has a high quality system like you and others around the globe. 4. Quit being so picky and pick a copy up for yourself and decide whether or not you like it.

The Aeolian 2xLP on white with gold splatter /100 is available again from Pelagic Records for 18.5€. The web store is renewed and now the shipping is cheaper. http://pelagic-records.com/shop/vinyl/the-ocean-aeolian-lp/

Waiting to hear this first on vinyl.

You're literally sitting on a gold mine!

The Ducktails "The Flower Lane" LP I got from UO had three download code cards in it for some reason. Two freebies to the first people who grab em. www.dominorecordco.com/claim code #1 - 6MDWPXKQ code #2 - MB4U86LG

Jon might like you, but I sure as fuck don't.

Here's the tracklisting of the Foo Fighters "Songs From The Laundry Room" 10" Side A: Alone + Easy Target Big Me Side B Kids In America Empty Handed (unknown) It's apparently Dave's Demo from 1992, so yeah, definitely a must have.

I reiterate my point in that we all just need to sit back and relax. This is getting way too out of hand. I do however side with Mr. Daigle and all the cool stuff he is doing.

In a word: Awesome.

Possibly. That said, Can't say I'm the biggest fan of the game as I've never played it, my knowledge of the series goes so far as SSB. Which probably isn't very much. But I definitely support the work that is being done here and I'll be sure to back the kickstarter when it goes up and snag the record.

I live in Canada. When I get shipping for $4.00 dollars it comes by horse drawn carriage and is seriously handled by the hulk, everytime.

Easily one of the better releases in mainstream Hip Hop in a long time. The different voices and his flow throw some people off but I love it.The Blacker The Berry was fantastic I don't pirate music so I don't mind paying whatever the cost is until it's released. Why does that make someone an idiot?
