Shitty Rambo Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I wish this had never happened because I'd be so down to do something like this again. Technically someone could do it again. Although I imagine the buy in would have to be more than $60. Some crowdfunding platform would be involved. The word 'curate' would be thrown around a lot... Actually, you're right, probably couldn't happen again. travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Actually, you're right, probably couldn't happen again. I agree with this. I wasn't a part of these boards then, and I would probably contribute now, but I think it's a little impossible with all the weird #trndy #hpstr #vbz this HOBBY has started secreting. That is, there would be too much $ involved and too many little whiny babies not getting their <insert trendy hipster band here> as opposed to <other trendy hipster band>.

Bladewillisisdead Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, the original clusterfuck would probably end up looking tame in comparison if we tried again. Guess I'll just buy more weed. shawnayala90, Billich0986, DrownTheRiver and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that ronniethebear's real name was Jonathan Davis? Every time he posted, all I saw was the Korn guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacredheart Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Stoked I got copies of the COOP released without dropping the $60 into it.....I do miss old VC...less crosleys and shitty 90's alt-bands and sound tracks. Craft Brew > Shitty 90's radio-rock and soundtracks all damn day. You know, at the time it was pretty annoying, if only I knew it would get worse.

birdwell Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 You know, at the time it was pretty annoying, if only I knew it would get worse. I'll take beer coozies and pint glass bundles over a $25 press/repress of a record that sounds horrid on my turntable all damn day as well man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riegler Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'd be in if there would be another coop forming. However, never got my money back and also didn't get the last records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I joined (or lurked rather) right around the ass end of the whole coop going under, I would love to see some of the people on here get it up and going again! I feel that there are still plenty of good guys/gals around here that would do a great job with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Joined in 2010 but I remember reading the threads about the Co-OP. There are probably five posters on the boards that I would put a significant amount of money in with to press a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably five posters on the boards that I would put a significant amount of money in with to press a record. Yeah, that's the way to go. Way back I had teamed up with Brent from Broken Circles and Jeremy (Mr Showbread) on the boards here to press a Blindside album. The band ended up turning us down, but it seems to me that model makes more sense. Pick a specific release, find a small label that's interested, come up with the funds between a few users and then knock on some doors to get it licensed. It's more doable than it seems. I'd think most small labels would be willing to pay back the "investors" after covering costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm pretty sure that all the shitty represses we're seeing now can be directly linked back to the beginnings of the Co-Op. I haven't read all three pages here but I presume Whiskey Colored vinyl was referenced at least four times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I do like the idea, and my "background" would probably benefit it, but I don't think I would have the time to try to pull something off like this. If I ever wanted to, that is. But I would def support the right person/peoples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidal Wave Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Spoiler - whiskey color was actually just brown. I bought someone's place in the coop I think after the second release. I then contacted all the labels the Virgil was supposed to and that got the ball rolling for the this charming man release. I got a refund right after he offered them up. It took a bunch of emails to get that accomplished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Spoiler - whiskey color was actually just brown. Transparent brown! Don't drink opaque jack and cokes. Still stoked on my whiskey and coke Acrophobe record /100 haha. It's the only releases I own all the variants of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I still get pumped about that whiskey and coke Acrophobe too. Say all the shit about the whiskey/coke records you want, that /100 Acrophobe is pure boner material. Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
