throughbeingcruel Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Woot. Would this be an appropriate time to say 'Fuck Victory Records'?Did Victory ever have anything to do with Streetlighy's very first demo? Highly unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad to see any vinyl getting pressed of Streetlight without the Victory label! ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMidna Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 $24 w/ 2 day priority if you get the bundle. So worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyregret Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Would love to get that BOTAR release but not with the shipping cost Duff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylet Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Didn't let me either but my shipping was only like $8 Weird? Maybe it's based on location since it's priority shipping. Hopefully these make it into some stores. I'd love the BOTAR, but can't justify those shipping rates. Duff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyregret Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 has anyone tried contacting them to see if they would allow for a media mail option? Since it now includes tracking I don't see why it would be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it now includes tracking I don't see why it would be an issue I sent them a comment on the site. I'll let you know if I hear back. That's just outrageous. Big D and the Kids Table did a similar thing on their holiday bundles. It was $14 and when I got the records I saw it was shipped Media Mail for $3.22. Felt kinda ripped off, but I like the band so I just took the hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funtitled Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 i gotta get botar but probably not until the shipping price goes down or it hits retail Duff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I bit on both of these hard. Don't mind helping the people behind the music out at all-knowing it's going directly to them- after years and years of them having to fight for their own intellectual property.

birdwell Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Shipping prices are a joke. Love this man's music, but I'm so fucking sick of hearing the sob story of a man who is being held to the contract he willingly signed and bought into. If the Streetlight Manifesto albums hadn't come out on Victory (let it be stated that I'm not a fan of Tony's business practices)....especially since they came out so far after the 3rd wave had died/cooled down....there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that a quarter of the now-fans would've heard the albums or even known Thomas had a new project. Publicity and push from a label that has clout reaches far more people than an artist by themselves....it's why labels exist. I understand the dirty details that I've heard about the situation and legal battles....but if you sign a contract stating X number of albums belong to X label and there's a clause that states the inclusion of anything you put out after the band you're signing with....how can you pitch a fit when you're held to the contract you signed? In closing....stoked that these are getting pressed, and I hope they sound better than the two Streetlight Manifesto LPs I have pressed under Victory kyacrash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemforadoomed Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Considering each of these releases has songs technically "owned" by Victory, there is a possibility that this will get blocked and scrapped like the last Toh Kay album did. I bought both, but for those who are choosing to wait, that's probably not a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That album is on their label, but Victory technically owns the songs "Dear Sergio" and "Here's to Life." Part of the lawsuit between the band and label is that Victory is asserting Tomas has infringed on their copyright of all SM/ Catch-22 songs releasing "Streetlight Lullabies" and The Hand That Thieves" without them getting any of the profits. I doubt this will be under the radar when there's a team of lawyers scrutinizing everything Tomas/ SM is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt this will be under the radar when there's a team of lawyers scrutinizing everything Tomas/ SM is doing. I was under the impression that the copyright infringement part of the lawsuit was that Victory did not consider keasbey nights redux and the covers album to be part of the contract fulfillment. We've seen bands such as reel big fish and unwritten law release new albums made up of re-recorded old songs, in both cases greatest hits. It was done because their respective labels owned the albums the songs appeared on, and they wanted to be able to have ownership of those songs again. Because the Streetlight demo and BOTAR were done before streetlight was on Victory, I'm sure these new vinyl released are fine. The cd versions of both have been in existence for years.
