We signed Westkust last month, we will definitely have our own variants and there will be way more than 300. 

any timeline on the US pre-orders?

I love new members.

I found this today at the flea market.  It is the cover art of George Carlin's Take-Offs and Put-Ons, including the print on the spine, on what appears to be a piece of celluloid.  What is this?
 
 

This is really cool, thanks.

It's not like there were any lyrics to the Brand New lullaby renditions. Are there even any lyrics for any of the lullaby albums?
So who gives a shit. If it sounds cool and puts your kid to sleep, then it did its job.

Don't know why people are freaking out about the standard. Every record store will have them come May/June. 

this thread and the Video Game OST thread should be merged and everyone can complain together.

Oh, I know all about his uncouth practices.  But it's more about the product he's selling then the person selling them.  Otherwise, Kanye West, Kings of Leon, Liam Gallagher, Tom DeLonge, Ryan Adams, Morrissey (not the poster here), Metallica, Guns N Roses, Weeknd, Neil Young, Queens of the Stone Age, Sonic Youth... I could go on... wouldn't have careers if their discourteous fan-hatred and bastard attitudes overshadowed the product they were selling.
 
As for the Nickelodeon record (not the Doug one, which I'm not buying), they're all the original songs. These aren't covers.  This was a album that was previously released in 1998 through Kid Rhino. He just managed to grab up the rights for this one album and pressed it up.  We'll find out how well mastered these VHS ripped tracks can be on vinyl, but owning it is more a testament to nostalgia than a record that you'd play over and over again.  
 
I'm sure every single one of you own a record that you bought simply to own, because vinyl is a physical format that extends so much beyond the music contained in the grooves.  It's an aesthetic, an emotional, and a tangible exemplification of our interests.  Or else you wouldn't pay extra for "limited edition numbered colored" Mondo releases.

U guys are judging us who want to spend $18 to hear Silly Ross play tribute versions of our favorite songs from Doig. But it's u who are the ones who have to pay the largest cost, as your soul can not be healthy with this hate in yor heart. You tell us what to do but u are the ones who are afraid to look in the mirror...because you know you want to buy these but you are afraid to be who u are.

ftfy

i bought this because i wanted it lol... and i will not be giving up on vinyl because ive collecting since i was 5

Yup, totally me.  I just collect vinyl to look cool - once the fad passes, I'm selling them all for 1/4 of what I bought them for! 
 
 
 
So much hate geared toward some nostalgia cashgrab, but people fanboying about the nth press of Blink 182 or a reissue of Deja Entendu.
If this wasn't released by a douchebag, would people think this was a cool thing to own? Is it only the fact that a universally despised flipper is monetizing our childhoods that makes people hate this record?  It's a legitimate question.
There's so much unabashed elitism in this thread, yet half of you are still buying it anyways.

It's up now. It says "Out of Stock" but the other day it had nothing so this is basically the pre-order. I think maybe because it's a rerelease they are doing it this way. Either way, I am in there!

Until I can get a copy for $20 there aren't enough copies. More market saturation please. I want flippers to be begging people to pay anything just to get their 10 extra copies out of their house.

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)

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.

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

Also want to give this guy a vote of confidence. Waiting for a record to come in that was unfortunately delayed, but was very nice to work with.
