Get the green and support this label. It's worth every penny.
x2
record rules, band rules, stoked the label put it out.
-
Green ordered . I can't believe it was still available . Too many people are sleeping on this !
this. we picked up it up same day as pre-orders went up and actually worried the green would be gone... couldn't believe they were still available over a week after we got our copy in
-
I completely misread the e-mail also... luckily Grant steered me straight when I was bugging him about it haha
watching the full set from Baltimore that got posted up
-
not really into A3 but that yellow/black cover is fucking awesome looking!
wish I had a good idea for something upcoming that we might be able to use something like that for they look great!
-
in my opinion, discourse is a son of indecision. worth for own some....
^ I like the assertion
bump for Grant/Bitter Melody

They're really good. Here's pictorial evidence. http://www.soundstagedirect.com/vinyl-record-packaging.shtml
I've also had good experiences with DeepDiscount the few times I ordered from them. People often complain about their customer service, maybe for good reason, but they ship the records well.
those are fucking awesome!
-
I need more LP mailers and the last batch we grabbed were fucking horrible to the point we didn't use them for shipping LPs in they were so useless.
any more info on these mailers? we don't ship a lot of LPs out but I'd like to not have to cut and fashion my own mailer each time I do want to send one and actually protect it properly.
-
I thought this was really damn cool looking, when it got announced/info posted up...
.....until I thought about it -- fuck having it broken down on 45s--I would have easily bought it if it were LPs or if it cost $100 or less
silly release- still think it looks cool though
-
-
just wanted to say I am excited we are getting this put together! go stream/download!
-
"seems like"?!? I've seen a lot of crazy things on this forum (bible ashes in records, blood filled records, brewery bus tours, etc.), but I feel like this takes the cake. like, seriously, how many of these do they need to sell to break even?
my sarcasm didn't translate very well I don't think haha
but yeah ... that is absolutely ridiculous. even if they limited it strictly to 1000 pieces for each record total thats still a fuckload more than I would think reasonable. wish it was an LP box set for $100 or less I'd be on it in a heartbeat
-
178,000 more rancid singles
230,000*
so looks like they are 1000 of each black vinyl individual record also:
color vinyl:
2000 x46 (92,000) boxsets
2000 x46 (92,000) album packs
black vinyl:
1000 x46 (46,000) individual records
total: (230,000)
that seems like .......overkill. I wouldn't mind having 3 of the album packs but fuck them being on 45s
230,000 units of VINYL. Biggest project we've ever been a part of. Pretty badass. Especially badass because it's for Rancid and Pirates Press Records. HONORED, EXCITED and BUSY, BUSY, BUSY... words that don't even sum up what we're feeling right now! #musthave #vinyl #rancid #piratespress #piratespressrecords #hardwork -
my care level for signed records is at about zero, though my copy of codeseven - the rescue came signed.
came to post this actually haha, I don't really care for getting any records signed, definitely wouldn't pay more for any to do so. got into punk/hardcore growing up alongside those guys, the first 100 copies or so of the LP were signed, thought it was funny/cheesy I got one of those, but they hold a special place in my heart for local nostalgia - so still cool regardless. I think that is the only signed record I own (that I'm aware of)
the only other thing I've got signed outside of when I was around 15 (mighty mighty bosstones ticket stub from bosstones/H20 comes to mind haha) was a copy of the Melvins - with yo' heart 7" for my best friend from high school. had originally picked it up for him, and then years went by and we never crossed paths at a time I actually remembered to bring it. so we were both meeting up at a fantomas show - brought it for him there but his car broken down and he didn't make it. ended up getting buzz to sign it for him and then later gave it to him and his wife as a wedding gift. bet it was the only wedding gift they received that had the words "anal satan" on it. looked really nice in a gold paint pen on the yellow covers
-
just finished scoring, cutting them all out and numbering them last night to bring them down to the fest tomorrow!
left = record release right = pre-order both are #/50 and on clear vinyl
headfirst! has roughly 10 copies of the pre-order covers left, bitter melody has 2 or 3 left. I imagine any that aren't claimed by tonight will be sold at the fest this weekend so if you want one of the covers on the right, time is running out! (clear are available in the 2 or 3 record bundles)
-
Thursday couldn't get here fast enough..grrr
getting ready for the fest this weekend!

Also congratulations are in order since Discourse just signed to Mayfly to do a new 7" in early 2013.
These should be on the way to me tomorrow and on to you soon after.

to the top! covers should be here today!

I don't mind the cassette format, but if it's a release that is already available on vinyl or cd it seems pointless.
some people like the aesthetics/nostalgia/format for various reasons - I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way about vinyl and cds if stuff is available digitally these days. different strokes for different folks. those who like them buy them, those that don't don't - not much more or less pointless than collecting things on multiple colors of vinyl
-
the fuck is n and b?
wondered the same thing
-
this, i really want to do do diy packaging but have the cassettes made pro, but the the band we just put out wanted the tapes to look old school and professional, so we did.
i love tapes.
we've done a mix of about everything thus far (all pro duplicated on the CS side)
but:
-screenprinted handcut J-cards/insert / imprint on tape
-hand splattered/double rubberstamped deluxe cardboard boxes, with an 11x17 lyric sheet inside+vinyl sticker imprint on tape
-regular standard laser printed j-card / imprint on tape
-sticker labels with standard laser printed j-card
-offset print covers with hand letterpressed covers
-just offset print covers
working on three new tapes for next month one just a standard j-card/tape the other two I'm still drafting up the cases for them but they are going to be handcut / scored cardboard boxes with a bunch of cool shit.
its fun, I like em
not the best photos but this was my favorite we have ever done - looked awesome - sold for shit (well...made way too many..2nd tape we ever did though. got a bit too ambitious)
-
i like releasing tapes now and again - its a fun cheap medium and you can do some creative things with packaging - for a fraction the cost of vinyl

posted this over on B9/DF figured I'd post it here also since it could be of use for a few people.

not sure if this might help anyone who has the misfortunes of needing to adjust their shipping rates manually, but went ahead and parsed through some of the old prices and new prices to show the new rates -- might help others out there a little who set up prices by type of item instead of weight.
I tried to do most of the areas/weights I could think of that would be relevant for us.
any price listed will be in the format of: new price (+increase from old price) so if the old rate for a 1lb package was $5 to ship and the new rate is $5.30 it would say 5.30 (+.30) 1 lb package
it is a damn shame limitedrun doesn't have a shipping module for shipping by weight. I'd rather deal with adjusting that than the way its setup now (the only thing I hate about it)--if you run a store there drop the developers a line to incorporate it!
