Finally finsihed my AC/DC Japanese pressing collection when Who Made Who arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, it's not a complete discography since no albums were pressed after Blow Up Your Video. One of the Highway To Hell and Blow Up Your Video dupes are white label promo's.
Elvis Costello and the Attractions. LPs on the left (that's everything from '77-'89), 12" singles on the right (far from complete), picture sleeve 7"s in the middle (even farther from being complete) and promo sleeve 7"s on the bottom (the farthest from being complete). I've got a long way to go.
Yeesh. Didn't realize how many wannabe Gordon Gekko types frequented this board.
Clearly if a band takes issue with someone they don't know putting out their music it's because they want to make money (whereas a guy who puts out a disparate range of nostalgia-rooted releases is just doing it for the love, man). Clearly if you establish communication with a band about putting out their album and they stop responding, you should go ahead anyway provided you really want to do it and it's something a lot of people want. Clearly it's stupid to side with a band vs. the reissue label just because the band made the music that you apparently neeeed on vinyl. I mean, the ETR version is on splatter, it's scary to think what boring color the band would've picked themselves. This should be in the hands of professionals.
I know nothing about Cartel other than the fact that Dr. Pepper paid to put them in a bubble, but it's disheartening to see people buy into the "it's a music BUSINESS" mindset just so it guarantees them big versions of their CD collection. There are thousands of bands, labels, communities, etc. that have built their art & livelihood on personal connections and do just fine without the corporate mindset of "cover your legal bases and after that, it's on them for being tooooo slowwww".
And of course Ross is a good dude backed hard to his customers. You don't get a medal for being nice to the people who give you money. It really has no bearing on this scenario.
