copelandkid Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I do think its telling that less than 200 copies of Twin have moved. i wouldn't have picked that up for $10; has always struck me as a gimmick how many of Ixora have sold?

deafening Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 knowing how much y'all are willing to drop on a Harry Potter soundtrack LP or Deja Entendu or whatever it is. My copy of Deja came to $27.96ppd in 2015. wishing to be compensated for their reputation of 10+ quality years of work as a band is pretty, well, entitled. Yes, it is. edit: I know these are your words, and not the band's outlook, but it's still the silliest argument I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafening Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I typed a lot, but this is hardly worth a wall of text. tl;dr: No one deserves compensation for having a reputation. That is the epitome of entitlement, hence the way I chose to quote your sentence. Copeland, and any other artist, clearly have the right to charge whatever they feel is right for them for a product, that does not mean that the people who are interested in the product do not have a right to their opinion of the price. I checked my purchases the past couple of years. Out of all the records I have purchased in 2014 and 2015, ONE out of approximately 50 releases came out to $30+ before shipping, and that is because it was an overseas release. This includes all 2xLP. Fridge Fox, dreamover and Tommy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotfactory Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I ultimately sympathize with you, mr. dreamover... would much rather have paid $20 for the record instead; but, when most people are willing and able to pay a bit extra (relative to, say, your boutique label), saying "they don't have to sell it for that much" is really just complaining. $20 for a single LP is still bullshit. Anyone who feels this way likely didn't buy their Crosley or first LP until after 2010 at the earliest. Most people I know (myself included) began buying records because they were far less expensive than their CD counterpart. Couple that with much larger/more awesome artwork, the decision was a no brainer. Back in the late 90's early 2000's I was listening to a lot of punk and hardcore and most of the records in that genre were still being pressed (unlike pop music or mainstream rock for example, where nearly no vinyl records exist for most of those artists during that time period). Now you can buy CDs for a fraction of the price of their LP counterparts. The record industry loves to cannibalize itself. I guess my point is, fuck your $20 single LP bullshit. PS, I am seeing Copeland tonight and pretty stoked about it. dreamover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 well, they've sold a whopping 235 copies of twin which is almost 25% of the pressing. I have no doubts that this would've sold out super fast if it was priced fairly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

((for the second time in this thread: i'm not sure who'd buy a record like twin unless it was, like, a series of bonus tracks appended to ixora.))
