Bhemblem Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Now that I think about it, this is more of a 'slightly nod your head to while it plays in the background at the grocery store' type of album for me, not one I would ever sit down and listen to on vinyl more than once.

just a normal guy kevin Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 What you all don't understand is that, the more you criticize ETR or this release, the more Stl Ben has to keep posting that he doesn't care and in fact benefits from it. museummouth, lampwick, AlexH. and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I really think that if this was carried by UO and not books a millions it'd sell fairly well, but that price.... Christ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 How many copies on clear vinyl did he get pressed behind the band's back to trade for test presses and sell on eBay? 100? 500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobannaboc Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yes, I agree the price point is pretty ridiculous. But it happens with every big reissue nowadays. I'll pay 40 for the extra limited variant but if I miss on it then I'll contemplate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giekorock Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 He has to be making 300% profit on these thingsHmm I'm not so sure. Like I'm sure he is making decent money off this. But the rights for this to allow him to only release it in a 4,000 press must have been insane. Again not trying to define that guy, I know he's pretty much Hitler according to everyone here, but I just can't imagine this would have been a cheap pressing to produce.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 He has to be making 300% profit on these things That's like...the minimum goal of any business...so yeah, I'm sure he is. That means he's paying 1/3 of what he's getting back out of these just to make them. 300% profit is barely worth even doing in the business world. I can't stand ETR, but 300% isn't shit. pizza face 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 If I were a business, my minimum goal would be 10000000% because I'm running a business not a freaking 300% lazy ass non-profit.

gmoney Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ross has had some serious issues from the beginning that have only been compounded by the recent influx of information that this thread has provided. Here's a list of more-than-questionable business decisions/screw-ups that have occurred: - First release - a picture disc that he tried to justify by saying it was the only way to make a 'gold' record + Awful shipping job on these - often resulting in damaged records - Starting Line - poorly packaged, almost all seam splits. - RXBandits - No band approval. No remorse. (You will find this to be a recurring theme) - Early November - Blown up CD artwork. Huge barcode on back because of this. (I know this is technically Patrick's doing, but Ross is the label owner) + Hidden /50 variant that he told people not to reveal because the label didn't even know about it. - Fall of Troy - typo on track listing. - Cartel - He purposely made this a 'surprise' release as he didn't have the band approval and knew there would be issues. However, ETR sold out before the band could get word out. - NK - Basement Tapes - Have you seen the 'packaging' for this? He reasoned it was because it was a 'demo' release and purposefully minimal packaging. - Dream Theater - He claimed it was CD-sourced because no digital files exist anymore. Music on Vinyl used HQ digital files from the label for their release of this. - Cute Is What We Aim For - Wrong center labels. - Kevin Devine Live - Misspelling on spine. Pixellated interior images. Wrong center labels. Wrong track lengths. - Doug 7" - Re-recorded covers of the 'original' songs by he and his friends. Makes it completely ambiguous in all postings. Thanks himself on the back of the record. - Lightning bolt shirt - Supposed to be bolt from Skeeter's shirt. Looks nothing like it. Extra-curricular activities - - Charges >$5 for shipping media mail - and claimed it was because pricing had gone up. - Sells grab bag - often putting in records that would be cheaper if you bought normally on this site. - Uses eBay to flip his own releases - Gives extra variants to his business partner to flip for even more on his own eBay account - Said business partner (and owner of Paper Books) comes in to lie and cover-up for Ross - Said business partner (and best friend and 'musician' on Doug 7") tells board member "I will be sure to give you a rag to wipe off my cum after you are under my desk choking on my dick," among other things. - More lies from ETR It's known I've never been a fan of Ross, but coming in and apologizing just doesn't fly for me (even though he hasn't even done this). He constantly makes excuses, has poor business tactics, is known to lie over and over to cover himself, and has shown almost zero regard for the bands he works with. cambionic and nardes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
