    PO: Ringo Deathstarr - Colour Trip/Sparkler REPRESS

    in Vinyl Collective Message Board

    Posted · Edited by the industry

    I know he is probably eager to get some good news out there on this, and I would imagine that if he's making a public statement after all this that it is probably true, BUT even so at this point he SHOULD be more careful, since his credibility has been completely destroyed. In the event that anything DID happen during shipping, or say the albums arrived and there was some defect with them that the plant didn't catch, he would have to come back and make some other statement about how now something else has gone wrong and blah blah blah. So basically he's dumb - which we all readily know by now, but still - if the records really are on the way, then he should just sit tight and wait till they arrive, and assuming they do he should QC them and prep them for shipment, and ONLY THEN should he announce that they're actually shipping out.

    http://italiansdoitbetter.bigcartel.com/ - $20 2LPs on the reg.

     

    Also that's proper gatefold, 2lp colored vinyl, with liner notes. PLUS HUGE included newspaper-style posters for future releases and 95% of the time an included CD or 2 of old releases as well.

     

    For $20.

     

     

    Whats the pressing? The bigger the pressing the more you can scale the costs, and get price breaks on all the individual parts, making for a cheaper product. They might even have volume discounts for all the other albums they're pressing this month / year.

     

    The other thing here is that while IDIB is not a massive label by any means, they're still an established, functioning label with steady releases and steady cash flow. This other label is new and this is their FIRST release. 

     

    Basically, a label that has been operating for awhile (and has an established customer base) is going to be able to offer things cheaper than an upstart. That's just economics.

    I can't believe bands that have been around for 5, 10, or more years would not have the funds to record a new album and need these pledges to do so.

     

    Some bands are not smart with money and get taken advantage of, leaving them in a position where they have to do something like this.

    If we are talking about PR specifically, I don't think they HAD to do this. I'm pretty sure they could have funded it themselves, as they still have a fairly healthy touring business, and I'm sure they sell SOME records and get some streaming income… but I think doing it this way is easy, less risk, and less up-front expense out of their own pocket.

    woah newbury going hard on the com truise exclusives:

     

    https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/exclusive-vinyl/products/com_truise-iteration_exclusive_2_lp?variant=36841521548

    https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/exclusive-vinyl/products/com_truise-galactic_melt_exclusive_2_lp?variant=36841519116

     

    Looks like around 300 for each in the store now, so expect pressings of at the very least 750.

     

    The new album is 500 with 300 available online, 200 reserved for in-store. You might assume that the repress is the same, but maybe not.
