  1. THAT IS ALL THAT I AM SAYING. JEEEESUS FUUUUCKING CHRIIIIST. The larger label is making more gross because they have more releases out at the same time. I'm not saying it's better or worse, it is just more profitable at a lower cost per unit to the consumer.

    thats not all you are saying. your original statement and point was that a label putting out a single record cannot afford to sell a record as cheaply as a label that puts out records with more frequency. Which you ultimately proved to be completely false, by showing that a label with even one release can sell a record for cheap and still profit off it (provided the pressing sells out, etc).

    moreover by saying that because the established label will earn more total money, you are insinuating that an upstart label who puts out a single release is entitled to make more money PER RELEASE than a label who put out 5 releases and spent 5 times the work, energy, effort, money up front, etc.

    if anything it should be the opposite, labels with one release should be selling their titles for CHEAPER, because the one release label put in a handful of hours of work in their spare time, and the label churning out those frequent releases quit their job to focus on the label full time.

    Dude, Porchlight may not be laying it down with the right words, but what he is trying to get to (at least what I think he's trying to get to) is 100% correct. He's dead on in the fact that labels that press more are able to amortize fixed costs over a larger production, thus lowering the cost per unit.

    Economies of scale. Get into it.

  2. Conrad - please find any evidence of Neo-Nazi activity. It's just not there, man.

    Also, Martin clearly gets it. His post = totally backed.

    This thread just inspired me to jump over to the MB site and order that gold Manson LP. I was on the fence about it earlier this week just because I didn't have the dough and not because of any moral opposition. Just goes to show how far knowing your audience/customer and providing them solid goods at a solid price can take you.

    Magic Bullet = Backed

  3. Will definitely be in on Saturday. Been looking forward to checking your spot out for a while now. I'm hitting up Easy Street in the morning, follwed by breakfast, then some beer and records at Porchlight! Any chance you are getting the HWM 7" and if so any chance you could hold one aside for me?

  4. So I think the box set is sold out already. I don't know if they are only selling so many per show or what, but at the Seattle show last night they were sold out. That was early in the night too as the opening band was just taking the stage.

    Sorry if I bummed anyone out.

    They were supposed to be allocating a certain amount per show.

    If that's the case I'd suggest getting there early if you want one. Like I said, they were sold out last night before the openers even played. I'm actually glad now that I think about it. That's a stupid price to pay and I probably would have wished I hadn't spent that if I did.

  5. Man, you folks are nuts! How can you listen to this crap and seriously get excited? This album is stright up garbage. Sure, may be better than anything they have done in years, still doesn't make it any good. Straight garbage. The lyrics are stright up laughable. Metallica stopped being a band long ago, they are nothing but a corporation that pumps out awful sounds. No soul, no heart, no thank you.

  6. Singles Going Steady is probably your best bet depending on what you are looking for. They are pretty much the only "punk" store in town and used to have a better selection but it's still decent. There's a place called Zion's Gate if you are into metal or reggae. Easy St. Records carry vinyl at both of their locations and have a pretty wide selection of things both new and used. Jive Time has a couple of locations as well and they just carry used stuff that's mostly classic rock but you can find some gems in there. Those are pretty much the only places in Seattle that carry vinyl that I can think at the moment.

  7. I just looked and kreationrecords.net has a ton of their stuff. Expensive though.

    Expensive is the case for pretty much all balck metal stuff on vinyl. Sucks but it's usually for nice represses on good wax with good art (for the old classic stuff). Luckily I live right by the Kreation Records storefront so I have the advantage of not having to order on line and pay the shipping with the high prices.
