flatlinemole Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'd subscribe to the whole shebang...One helluva way to check out new bands and music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I do not know if you remember when Tree Records did there 7" series but they did a sub. and w/ the sub. you got a 7" that was only for the sub. members. I can not remember the price. That set ruled. I collected both public and the sub. and it was put together really nice. Hand made shit rocks. Tree was a great label.

ronniethebear Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think you should do a "Bands that user:ronniethebear thinks are badass" series. I'd buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, that's probably the best 7" subscription series that's ever been done, in terms of sheer amount of elbow grease that went into it.

mcm1610 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I gotta put money aside for this... there's no way I'm missing it. I'll do the whole shebang for the new music I'll find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelifeline Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Virgil, Since obviously the issue is having the money for the pressing plants and how expensive vinyl is.... Why not have it be a certain fee to join the club, this entitles the person to some special bonus items, but press the record on a specific color for the club, but with the option to buy it. Press a regular version of the record as well for the general population. Say $40 a year and this guarentees you the limited color of the record, or special covers, whatever the most limited version is. Give out 1 test press to a club member with every release. But people in the club still have to buy the release. You don't lose anything, record collectors are given the limited color for paying a little bit for it and toss in some other extra cool things every so often. Every year people have to subscribe and re-subscribe, or cap it off it becomes to big and follow Pushead's foot steps and have a fan club you had to join 15 years ago, haha! Just an idea....

corbet Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm really excited for this. I've never bought into the whole 7" of the month club but I'm very interested. I can never have enough 7"s, let alone limited ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Having done the Sub Pop Singles Club and the Victory one...this is kinda exciting...I'm into it as I said before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i'm down for whatever, virgil -- i'd wait if you wanted to ship more than one at a time to cut costs. i'm down to do a subscription for rare colours. down for anything. anything.

seafoamgreen Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 That Tree club was the bomb not only because it was well-organized (the boxset of the overstock was brilliant) but also because it was chock full of legitimately awesome bands that absolutely defined that era. Shai Hulud and Rainer Maria on the same record?! Fuck yeah. The Get Up Kids and Braid? I'd probably struggle to think of combinations that are comparable in today's "scene" (since I'm all old and shit, probably). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Shai Hulud and Rainer Maria on the same record?! Fuck yeah. Did I seriously miss something?!?!? Please explain this Shai Hulud release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subscript Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 EDIT: After looking through some old posts from no-eff-eks I've found the actual pricing for the NOFX 7" of the month club was $60 plus $20 north american shipping and $40 else took me too long to find that. way too many bullshit posts in the single club thread.

adamlikesmusic Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The actual pricing for the NOFX 7" of the month club was$60 - US $80 - International I believe that's right. I have a FAT flyer that clearly says $60, so I know that's right. It does not specify Int'l, though.

I don't like the idea of multiple colors. Also, doesn't that just add to the expenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgoodcore Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The actual pricing for the NOFX 7" of the month club was$60 - US $80 - International That seems like a good place to be. $5/each would rule and even less than $7 for the world wouldn't be bad. The Chuck Ragan 7" club was cool. That was the first one I did and I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Admin Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 so you guys don't think that $60 for 12 7"s plus shipping isn't too expensive? I was thinking that if I did a subscription series, that might be a good place to be. I am leaning towards doing the subscription and will just make sure I have a handful of the records on the way to the pressing plants before hand. thanks for all the feedback.

adamlikesmusic Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sounds fairly reasonable. As long as shipping doesn't end up like $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 so you guys don't think that $60 for 12 7"s plus shipping isn't too expensive? i think we all have faith that you'll provide a quality product -- so i personally have no issue with that pricing.
