gravitylovesdrunks Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 i have no idea of any of the logistics, but i would be willing to put up some money in order for this to get pressed. does anyone know the steps i should take and how likely this is of actually working?

jaggedthoughts Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 test presses already exists for this. too bad it was never officially released. Contact The Jazz June and/or Mike Wessel from Work Shop records and see if they could help in any way and/or possibly back you on it.

gravitylovesdrunks Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 i'm faithful that this album could move 500 copies, especially with a bit of help via limited color variants. i'd be down to put up some money to back this release if i thought there was a good chance i could make it back. i'm just not entirely sure of the logistics, and obviously i'd need to get the go-ahead from wessel and the band.

gravitylovesdrunks Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 i haven't checked the running time on the record- would a double LP be necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericxthexred Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 the test presses are 2xLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylovesdrunks Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 i've mesaaged the band and received a response, to which i explained my proposition a bit more. i'm not looking to profit off of this release, just to break even and own a copy of this on vinyl. is there anyone that would consider backing this financially with me? i'm sure that if a few people went in on this together, we could make it happen for sure (given premission being granted from all of the necessary parties). we could double/triple/quad etc. team this thing and make this a reality perhaps. i'm waiting to hear back from the band at the moment.

gravitylovesdrunks Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 the test presses are 2xLP i know, and i'm definitely not looking to pay less and sacrifice sound quality- i want this thing to be done up proper ideally. but i'm wondering if it could still be a solid single LP if funding doesn't permit a double LP.

xjustinxschwierx Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 email me if you have a problem with Initial, the label manager for the last few years is a friend of mine and I can talk with him about it...i seriously would doubt there would be a problem.

hairgrowth2001 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 the cd runs just over 56 minutes. I would also love to have this on vinyl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalcycle Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 the thing i hate most about getting in touch with bands about pressing their vinyl is that the majority of bands i've talked to don't fucking reply. hopefully this works out for you! i love this album.

LowEndAutomatic Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 the test presses are 2xLP Never ever gonna let yours go, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylovesdrunks Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 thanks for all of the support so far guys, this is still only in the baby conception stages. many logistics to be figured out. and 56:16= definitely has to be 2xLP, or a single LP + 10". i'm not sure if i'll have the funds alone for this one. anyone know how much 500 2xLPs is gonna run? also, is there anyone so far who would be down to back this financially? many details still have to be figured out, but there would obviously be added perks to people that financially back it.
