Reinventing the pressing plant?
mindovermatter replied to Mars's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
There is certainly a bit of a bottleneck in the process when it comes to plating, but I assure you that the problem is still at the plant in terms of production. For instance, you can get tests for a release in a few weeks, but then it still takes 6+ months to get the finished product. It is the same plates that they had to use for the tests, so the delay happens at the plant. Also, lack of communication/customer service, etc. The plant has you by the balls, so they don't care to make you happy. -
I posted this and then someone somewhere bought a copy. Lol - if that's all it takes! ;-) I'm down to about 5-6 copies on black before it is OOP for anyone on the fence.

Help me sell out of these splits and I'll look into other TAAS represses! I still have about 100 copies to go! ;-)

For best results, email me at least 3 times a day. The more emails, the better. It's about consistently bothering someone, not developing a rapport via support.

Sure thing, friend. I look forward to all of your posts in the test press threads boasting about how you scored them by randomly soliciting someone from a label having never talked to them before. Cheers!

I assure you that - while it may not have been difficult or time consuming - Erin hated having to even delete those emails. If a company doesn't offer to sell something, then it's generally not for sale! You wouldn't email the VP of Operations of fucking Lowes because you wanted to buy a rake that wasn't on the website because that is 100% absurd. I am not intending to shit on anyone because even Juan reached out (and I <3 Juan immensely), but like someone else said: if 5 people posted it, 20 people emailed her. I am also an anal retentive bastard who keeps his inbox completely empty/organized and between work, label and personal emails I field an insane amount of messages each day, so the thought of 20 useless ones bums me out.

Pressing plants don't actually tell you WHY they're fucking you. They just say "LOLOLOLOL you already paid us at least 75% of the pressing costs, so just wait it out." We only sort of knew about the Beatles messing everything up, I doubt someone emailed Deathwish to specifically say so. That being said, it's just not cool for labels to do preorders anymore. Those days are gone and there needs to be a better model about gauging consumer response, ordering appropriate quantities and then - in turn - getting the item out in a timely manner. THAT being said, I don't have any solutions here. Just whining. Ha!

Post Your Record Storage Area
mindovermatter replied to impact's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
For what it is worth, I move about every 12 months and I have two of the 5x5 expedits which are both at 100% max capacity as well as about 6-7 other expedits of various sizes. I've taken mine apart and put them back together about 6 times and they are just fine. Not wobbly, not even a little concerning. If you're careful, it's a non-issue. -
Small Talk Revival Thread
mindovermatter replied to One Hundred Fifty-Two's topic in Everything Else Message Board
^ yeah, what Juan said! Thanks guys! We are a diverse label, for sure, but each release has something truly fun and unique in regards to the packaging, so it's a little adventure with each record we press. Also, all of our digital properties are 100% free, so go wild.- 169,220 replies

I would gladly press both s/t and O:S, but DDW didn't do especially well, sadly. Maybe if I could somehow get away with only doing like 100 of each...but that's still a stretch. Regardless - incredible band and every release was perfect in its own special way.
