    A 2x10" pressing is embarrassing. And selling it for $40??

    smailtronic got a reaction from daegor in This fucking guy. (Virgil)   
    He still maintains the SH webstore, and toward the beginning of the pandemic, I got the idea to cheaply buy a bunch of records from one of the acts he dicked over, and then give the records to those guys so they could make some money selling them whenever they were able to tour again. The whole ordering process was a classic cluster. He claimed he didn't have the inventory, and could only fulfill part of it (but never updated his online inventory to reflect his claims). He issued me a partial refund, but still ended up stiffing me for a 7" or two when it finally showed up.

    Nostalgia for classic  records is the driver….man, they really have their fingers on the pulse 😒
    Colorado alone bought 6 million copies of “Time In A Bottle” in 2020 I’m sure.

    Yeah, RTI is in suburban LA, and they put out a really nice product! Oh, and if you have a guy cut a lacquer for you, you can't use Pirates. DMM doesn't use lacquer, it cuts on a different material disc

    Good luck, Ross (ETR dude) has always been a sketchy businessman, but I'd guess he licensed it through the company that put out the movie.

    Catchy fucking song, congrats!
     
    Pirates presses through GZ Vinyl which some people don't like because they use Direct Metal Mastering. But honestly, most people can't and won't be able to tell the difference. They're probably a good option for you because they're an all in one, and you're doing a small, first pressing. You mentioned United in Nashville; they're notorious for their questionable quality and I wouldn't recommend them. Geographically, where are you located? If costs are a concern, you could save on shipping by pressing at a plant where you could go pick them up.
     
    Frankly, I'd take whoever will accept your project. Most plants are so backed up, they're not taking new orders. Or they're only taking orders from established clients.

    I hope you mean fall of 2023 because you certainly are not getting that pressed anytime soon.
     
    As you have no experience and a plant that is overworked isn't going to bother with a one off project  I would use a broker like pirate press to handle all your needs from lacquer cutting to test press to actual press to jackets. You need a one-stop shop.

    That link doesn't say anything about Doom Patrol (it's possible they changed it.) But get in line, we've been waiting over two years since they announced they'd be pressing That Thing You Do.

    The show was so amazing! I noticed at Riot and Furnace Fests last year, that Thrice and The Get Up Kids are still playing lots of new stuff live. And I get it, they're still putting out records, but c'mon. You know damn well why we're all at a Vagrant showcase, and it's not to hear the new songs.

    FEDERICO ALBANESE · THE HOUSEBOAT AND THE MOON  CD | 2x12’’ | DIGITAL

    | www.denovali.com/store/images/large/19198_1.jpg |

    Reissue of the Federico Albanese debut album from 2014. Federico Albanese is a composer born in Milan, Italy in 1982, and currently based in Berlin. His musical versatility is a natural gift that pushes him to explore music in all its facets. Albanese's compositions are airy and cinematic, blending classical music, electronics and psychedelia. Federico started studying piano and clarinet as a child before becoming fascinated by rock music. As a teenager he studied bass and became a self-taught guitarist and soon became one of the leading figures of Milan's underground scene, performing in several bands. Influenced by black music, folk, electronic, modern and contemporary classical music his skills as a composer soon emerged, He worked for 5 years as prop man in several film sets. This experience made him understand the power of the connection between music and images and helped him to develop his personal musical path.
    In 2007 Albanese met singer and songwriter Jessica Einaudi and together they founded the avant-garde duo "La Blanche Alchimie". Composing songs with Jessica he rediscovered his love for the piano, which from that moment on, became his main instrument. Since then Federico has scored several films, short films and documentaries, including a documentary on a project commissioned by Ermenegildo Zegna in the National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome.
    In February 2014 Federico Albanese released his debut album entitled "The Houseboat and the Moon". He found a place, an imaginary place, where, whenever he wanted to, he could jump on and just float away. On this moving shelter, traveling across memories and imagination, lulled by water and led by the moon, Federico wrote the 13 compositions of his debut. He recorded all of the piano parts with a 1969 German tape recorder, the Uher Royal Deluxe, which allowed him to catch all of the tiny hidden shades, the imperfections, the noises of the piano and its surrounding space. Federico melts this rarefied sound with electronics, live recordings, strings, and homemade instruments. The result is a combination of contrasts and colors with a variety of atmospheres that wonderfully represents Federico's musical universe.
    “The Houseboat and the Moon” has been described as pure gold and one of the most beautiful modern classical albums of the past years. For fans of Philipp Glass, Yann Tiersen, Clint Mansell or Max Richter.

    Anyone nab an extra Taylor Swift?
     
    I had the last one in the store in my hands but ended up giving it to this girl who was inconsolably in tears when the shop owner told her they were all gone. I overheard the conversation & just broke my heart. The girl is the same age as my niece & reminded me immensely of her. It was obvious she’s more hardcore Swiftie than I & not a flipper. She started crying even more when I gave her the 7”. 
     
    I believe in karma. So there’s my good deed for the year. 😉
