Fowty Dollaz Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm all for this repress. 100%. It was "needed." However, it does suck to hear when artists have no involvement with or knowledge of the press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It sucks when artists don't have control, but don't sign contracts that don't retain the rights to your own music then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 so it's official bootleg. like one of the lastest "the devil and god are raging inside of me" presses were called I feel like "official bootleg" describes the opposite scenario, where a band signs off on a release that hasn't been cleared with the actual rights holder. This particular situation is just what they call "the result of signing a contract". Klefki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slushy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The t-shirts are the weirdest part of this. They are definitely bootlegs. Asbestos just seems more like one of those labels that looks for gaps in the market and licences/reissues already popular stuff that they know will sell, with or without the bands blessing. I guess it's all legit and above board, just a bit weird they wouldn't seek out Laura's opinions/approval, as within the context of punk rock that would be the nice thing to do. This was a release on a major though, so maybe that doesn't really matter anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slushy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Also them not sending band copies is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konk Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'd rather have royalties than copies of a record. I'm sure the major paying royalties was part of the deal. Klefki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Zero sympathy for bands/people who set themselves up for this to happen and then complain about it. in 2007 this trend of small labels going around bands to license their releases wasn't really a thing yet, and definitely wasn't what one thought about when signing with a label. majors at the time were in fact known for the opposite: it was too expensive and difficult to try licensing from them. then shit collapsed in music and things changed... but it's silly to say that anyway cause every band who lets a label pay for their recording is technically setting themselves up for this (and i've seen labels big and small cut out the bands when it comes to repressing records). not all bands can or want to self release their shit. and you can't see the future and how someone you trust might do something shitty. it doesn't mean the band has less right to be upset when someone does said shittiness.

On VC these things always ride a thin line between an honest concern for morality and a gross obsession with drama. I'm curious if Laura Jane Grace even approached Asbestos in regards to band copies. I find it extremely hard to believe Flood would tell her to fuck off, especially when this helped support Trans Life, but I digress. This really isn't any of our business. batnoises, THE_James_Champ and monsterrod 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slushy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Band copies are always a given, and they shouldn't really have to ask. Whether you've interviewed a band or reviewed their music in your fanzine, released a compilation with one of their tracks, or reissued one of their albums, you always send through band copies.

konk Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 We'll never agree if this was morally acceptable or not, but I'd put money on Flood bringing copies down to the fest to give to the band or to Var to give to the band.
