  1. Thanks for all the advice and wisdom. The band and I decided to do to a run of 50 tapes using duplication.ca. We have access to professional mastering and will get a good mixdown for a mastertape. Again, thanks for all the advice. When it drops I'll link to the bandcamp.
  2. totally, I already do a ton of ebay and discogs sales so the bubble wrapped living room is a struggle I already know. in all seriousness, realizing 50 is too maby is solid advice.
  3. I couldn't agree more. I'm very DIY and want to do as much of in house with the band as I can.
  4. Thanks for your response it has given me some more stuff to consider and map out. I have a Sony CCP-130 duplicator that is in good working order along with a collection of decks for creating a solid master tape. The EQ is something I hadn’t thought a ton about but the more I talk with people her locally, with people nationally at labels I respect and here, I’m seeing how important it is. what is that program? In regard to sales, I was planning on having mirrored sales of the cassette on BOTH the label bandcamp and the band's bandcamp. Thoughts on this model? I also currently sell records locally in a shop as part of a CO-OP (double nickels collective in Tempe AZ) and have good relationship with all of the other local record shops so i'll have some opportunities to sell the tapes in a brick and mortar retail space as well as online.
  5. Thanks so to everyone for the info. I do plan to start really small. I plan to give the bands involved the choice of a professional dub form either National or duplication.ca. I really want to put band I work with in the driver seat on the quality and quantity as long as they are reasonable. The plan is for everything to be limited runs under a 100, hand numbered and when they are gone they are gone in that variation. If we repress the casing or art or both will be different. Because many of the bands I'm working with already have stuff up or will have it up on bandcamp, doing a download will be easy and I plan to include it. A question: where is the best place to buy tapes if I want to dup them myself? what else am i missing?
  6. I'm thinking of starting a cassette label to help some friends put out some stuff they currently only have on bandcamp. I've collected tapes for a long time and I have no illusions about making any kind of money on this. I am viewing more as i like this music and want to support it and I could have some fun and learn a lot. I'd love to hear from any of you who have run or are currently running a label that does cassette releases. I'd also love to hear from any bands who have put out a cassette release. I own a working tape duplicator and have contacts with a number shops locally and in the region to get the tapes out. I also plan to do small runs that 100 or fewer. Any advice would be much appreciated.
  7. Double Nickels Collective in Tempe, Arizona is the best shop in the Phoenix Metro area. It was named on of the top 21 record stores in the country by Thrillist.com What makes this shop so cool is the fact that it is a Co-op. There are over 15 sellers under one roof. the store is anchored by the guys behind Eastside Records, which was one of Arizona's best shops for decades. I love that I can dig what amounts to five shops under one roof. They also sell some vintages clothing and tons of record players and other audio gear. 45 W Southern AVE, Tempe AZ 85282 11am-6pm monday-wednesday 11am-9pm Thursday-Saturday Noon to 6pm sunday Here are some links on the shop: facebook page- this were they post all the new arrivals Instagram account for one of the sellers Vinyl Hub Yelp News article
  8. Big thanks for posting I grabbed 35 albums and my shipping was only $12.95! Again, thanks for posting, I knew I was going to blow all the xmas cash on records somehow. You provided the somehow Absolutely no self-control
  9. Scored tons and tons of the bluenote 75 pressings! Thanks a ton for posting!
  10. Little Axe Records sells Mississippi Records releases online for them. Here Is the link: http://www.littleaxerecords.com Shipping is usually cheap.
  11. Merge records- Fantastic! Quick shipping and really well packed boxes.
  12. Both super wash and one are great as long as you follow the directions. But for light cleaning ( non VPI, nitty gritty) I would really encourage you to research the "homebrew" option. Its the best value. Distilled water is all you need about 90% of the time.
  13. keep in mind that there is no auto return feature. This meas you need to be around and with it enough to get up and manually remove the needle at the end of each side. This sounds small, but trust me auto return is amazing. also I echo the comments above about this table having a built in preamp. Also I second saving a buying a better table used.
  14. Having ordered from them in the past, I've been impressed with their shipping of multiple items. Its when they only ship a single album that sometimes things go south. Also depending on which Hastings location is shipping will determine the care your stuff gets. The Denver store packs things really well. Austin, not so much.
  15. The limited press has a list of Black Friday deals: http://thelimitedpress.com/black-friday-2015-deals-roundup/ Some are repeats of what has already been posted here but most of it isn't.
