dnl Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) It's kinda weird to see this getting a reissue. Geoff is squeezing all he can out of his old band. Edited June 27, 2017 by dnl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 So, um, I guess Geoff didn't have AFI's permission to repress these. Who knows what will happen now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yeah all of those Atom Age Industries releases weren't approved by the band. I think the FITO reissues might have been though. It's funny because now that they've commented on the reissues, they've now brought more attention to them. Some fans didn't even know about the Dork reissue until now.

kylet Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 As you can see in early posts, I've been very grumpy about these since the beginning. Something seemed very shiesty about charging $15 bucks for a 7" with ads saying things like "with originals valued at hundreds of dollars?!?!" Glad to see the band I still love and support also thinks that's a douche move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Two sides to every story. Here's Geoff's statement: Quote Dear AFI fans, friends, and family: It’s unfortunate that the band has decided to not participate in this part of their history and in turn, make incorrect and untrue remarks about why these records exist. To set the record straight, we HAVE indeed accounted to AFI for sales of these records, whilst the band is reporting otherwise, is unfortunate and untrue. Additionally, the DORK release is at a pre-order stage and no royalties would be due at this point. ... Additionally, Key Lime Pie Records is not a joint venture, partnership or otherwise anything but a business entity solely owned by Geoff Kresge. Geoff paid for these records to be released originally, and is choosing to re-issue them, and he is completely within his rights to do so, contrary to the band’s erroneous statements. Since the band are choosing to make incorrect and defamatory remarks about Mr. Kresge, the choice to own these records is up to you (the fans). We appreciate all the business that you have given us, and we will continue to offer you quality products in the future.

kyacrash Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Sucks when this stuff happens between band members or record labels, but as a fan, I really don't give a shit. I just want the music on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
