Cats Are Cool

Punctuation is your friend.

Ross has had some serious issues from the beginning that have only been compounded by the recent influx of information that this thread has provided. Here's a list of more-than-questionable business decisions/screw-ups that have occurred:
 
- First release - a picture disc that he tried to justify by saying it was the only way to make a 'gold' record
 + Awful shipping job on these - often resulting in damaged records
- Starting Line - poorly packaged, almost all seam splits.
- RXBandits - No band approval. No remorse. (You will find this to be a recurring theme)
- Early November - Blown up CD artwork. Huge barcode on back because of this. (I know this is technically Patrick's doing, but Ross is the label owner)
 + Hidden /50 variant that he told people not to reveal because the label didn't even know about it.
- Fall of Troy - typo on track listing.
- Cartel - He purposely made this a 'surprise' release as he didn't have the band approval and knew there would be issues. However, ETR sold out before the band could get word out.
- NK - Basement Tapes - Have you seen the 'packaging' for this? He reasoned it was because it was a 'demo' release and purposefully minimal packaging.
- Dream Theater - He claimed it was CD-sourced because no digital files exist anymore. Music on Vinyl used HQ digital files from the label for their release of this.
- Cute Is What We Aim For - Wrong center labels.
- Kevin Devine Live - Misspelling on spine. Pixellated interior images. Wrong center labels. Wrong track lengths.
- Doug 7" - Re-recorded covers of the 'original' songs by he and his friends. Makes it completely ambiguous in all postings. Thanks himself on the back of the record.
- Lightning bolt shirt - Supposed to be bolt from Skeeter's shirt. Looks nothing like it.
 
Extra-curricular activities - 
- Charges >$5 for shipping media mail - and claimed it was because pricing had gone up.
- Sells grab bag - often putting in records that would be cheaper if you bought normally on this site.
- Uses eBay to flip his own releases
- Gives extra variants to his business partner to flip for even more on his own eBay account
- Said business partner (and owner of Paper Books) comes in to lie and cover-up for Ross
- Said business partner (and best friend and 'musician' on Doug 7") tells board member "I will be sure to give you a rag to wipe off my cum after you are under my desk choking on my dick," among other things.
- More lies from ETR
 
It's known I've never been a fan of Ross, but coming in and apologizing just doesn't fly for me (even though he hasn't even done this). He constantly makes excuses, has poor business tactics, is known to lie over and over to cover himself, and has shown almost zero regard for the bands he works with. 

I am more excited about how awesome the cover for the pokemon release is going to turn out.

That guy is a smart seller, he knows what the people want and is willing to take a 250$ hit, what a guy.

With all this hooplah going on, if he does manage to get the next couple releases out, he really should go with the mailing list to keep it as low key as possible until he can manage to get the licensing he's been working on.

Holy shit, the debate going on there is fucking incredible.

Except that when I initially told people about what this guy was doing and linked it here, i did it because for the most part the people on these boards are cool and I saw a lot of people in this thread specifically wanting a Zelda release. Figured it would not only help these people out but help the dude sell more copies. The people coming to this thread aren't the entitled asshole type that are trying to ruin a good thing because they weren't fast enough to get a copy, unlike the people on Reddit apparently.

Ugh, Silverstein can do no wrong by me. This song makes me so excited for the album.

All of them

Apparently the Zelda vinyl is now sold out as far as getting them online, kudos to all of those who purchased one.

I feel like if Mondo got their hands on this it would be a complete shit show. I am all for you being able to legitimately license them, but i also enjoy being able to secure a copy with no hassle,  everyone getting mostly the same thing with some cool small variations like with the Megaman covers, and not having to worry about people buying them and droves and flipping the randomly inserted variants for insane prices. Just my thoughts on it though. I don't know how you would handle it.

I still play old school Runescape to this day so i would totally nerd out to some music on vinyl.

Man i really hope these get a US release, but god dam i might have to buy a couple

And that Dark Side Of The Moon based cover is pretty sick

For all you goons that have been talking about a Zelda release

I'd hop on it ASAP, may seem sketchy but dudes legit, already got the Megaman soundtrack he did before this and its really awesome stuff.

But it's got all the Ocarina of Time songs, that alone is worth it for me.
