jhulud Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I will get them all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aws Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yeah me to probably. i Think they should all be pressed on Black keep it simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yeah, would be nice if it was all on black, or just single colors. That way since there's no subscription, people can still try and build up a full set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 back the one color thing myself or big runs of 500 or 1,000 at a time, that way there isn't /100 variants all over the place. Either way, it will be interesting to see how virgil handles these, just hoping it doesn't turn into a flipping fest making it impossible or expensive to acquire some of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickheitman Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 plz do one color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsleepOnRocks Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm a fan of the "two colors, and that's it" idea. Like, if you're pressing 500 of each one, break it down to /100 of one color, /400 on black, and whatever future represses may or may not happen, are all black.

AlexH. Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I will buy most of these, especially if they're good covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 we are more than likely gonna do 2 colors over a 1,000 piece pressing (300/700) or 3 colors over 2,000 piece pressing (300/700/1000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmorgan Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I might try to keep up with a set on this one, too. It sound like fun. Plus the announced releases for this thing are just too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Mitch Clem posted about these: So Virgil from Vinyl Collective contacted me a while ago and told me about a series of records he's putting out. The series is called "Under the Influence", and will comprise of over a dozen split 7"s, each featuring a different band doing a cover of a band or song they consider influential to their sound. My beautiful fiancee Amanda and I, in turn, are making the covers for each of these, designed as parodies of the original album art. I can never think of how to explain that so it makes sense.So I draw them, Amanda watercolors them, Virgil puts them out, and everyone dances naked in a circle like in the Wicker Man (the original, not that weird Nic Cage abomination from a couple years ago), and good times are had. The bands involved and the songs they're covering are all being kept top secret, for the most part, so I can't tell you about any of them until Vinyl Collective announces them officially. There are some really, REALLY solid records coming up in this series (one in particular I absolutely cannot wait to hear, you'll know it when it comes), plus some art that I am quite proud of. Plus, it's super fun getting to collaborate with Amanda on something finally. My two favorite things in the whole world, drawing and Amanda, all rolled into one! It's a winter wonderland. Stay tuned! Here are the original album covers for comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 oh wow, that's cool, had no idea those were spoofs, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Both songs are streaming on the bands' myspaces http://www.myspace.com/fakeproblems http://www.myspace.com/lookmexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 oh wow, that's cool, had no idea those were spoofs, lol the plan is for mitch to illustrate his own renditions of the original album art that the song originally appeared. Some of the covers have album art that is kind of generic and in those cases, mitch will improvise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
