thespungo Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 For a while I'd had this idea in my head for a vinyl reissue of the Gamits first LP, Endorsed By You, so I threw this mockup together to put in my portfolio, but figured some of you nerds might get as much of a kick out of it as I do. PLEASE NOTE BEFORE GETTING EXCITED -- This is most certainly not getting repressed. I did this all on my own just for fun, if you can even believe it.

TooManyHumans..... Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I wish this was happening. One of my favorite records. Awesome job, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofocus Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Holyshit! Would def buy this, if someone press this.. I'll share this with Chris Fogal on facebook. See what he thinks abt this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnybrook Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Nice work, I'm a big Gamits fan as well. Endorsed By You does pop up on ebay now and again so it's not impossible to find. I'd love to see some of their other releases get the vinyl treatment before this gets a repress like "This Is My Boomstick" and "Small Price To Pay".

dynamitekid Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I tried to buy one from the label directly because they said they still have some but they emailed back and said that they were warped. sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I agree, definitely would prefer the rest of their catalog gets pressed before this ever would. A Small Price to Pay is my favorite release, personally.

Save an eBay search for it,then you'll be notified when one is up for bidding. Like someone said up above, these can be found on eBay once every blue moon.

"Reset" is one of their best (if not THE best) Gamits song. They're one of the few bands that I can honestly say I enjoy every single solitary song they've written. Would love to help facilitate a pressing of their back catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember when this happened to a couple people on the board including myself. I wound up getting a blue copy on ebay for a pretty good price shortly after that.

Seriously, "Reset" is a fucking perfect pop-punk song. I also consider "Sorry Song," "Open Window" and "Last Of The Mullets" to be in the top-tier of this band's catalog.

thespungo Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Well thanks a lot, guys, glad to see some Gamits fans come outta the woodwork. Here's the last one I made, for Antidote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yeah, I'd pledge the shit out of a Kickstarter for Antidote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yeah, I'd pledge the shit out of a Kickstarter for Antidote. They can have whatever amount they want from me, too. Does Suburban Home still own the rights to this? If this were to ever be released on vinyl, that would seem like a big hurdle to overcome considering the state of the label now.

donnybrook Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 An "Antidote" pressing needs to happen!!!! I'd even been willing to organize and fund the pressing. As much as I hate to say it though I'd be a little concerned about recouping my expenses in a timely manor? Are there enough vinyl collectors, who are Gamits fans, to turn around a short run pressing in say 6 months? I have no idea!? Thoughts?

I asked him about it right before he started up VC and he wanted to but knew it wouldn't sell. Obviously, the vinyl boom didn't change his mind. But later, as I recall, he was actually planning to press it before he went under. But at that point, it was obvious that it was pretty unlikely.

thespungo Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Figured I might as well mock up my favorite release while I'm thinking about it... If anyone's at all interested in making these a reality, contact me -- I'll gladly be your art director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
