mattisr1984 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just got this email. We have decided that we are not going to be releasing any more subscription versions this year. To finish it off the 2013 subscription series we will be releasing two more subscription titles (Vol 2) which we will be announcing next week. However we are adding on and extending features to those who have subscribed. All current and future subscribers get: Your 15% discount on accessories and 10% discount on pre orders will be extended until March 31, 2014 You will receive advance pre orders on various pre orders until March 31, 2014 Subscription titles will only be available through subscription packages. They will not be sold individually. Once sold out that is it. wat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicity Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 If I'm reading it correctly, they're sort of (but not fully) acknowledging that the subscription didn't sell well and that they won't be doing any more subscription exclusive variants. To make up for that, they're extending the discount benefits. Sucks for those who were looking forward to the exclusives. Don't know how they ever expected to sell 250 subscriptions with such a wildly varied selection of albums though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadamhudsonx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 "We have decided that we are not going to be releasing any more subscription versions this year.

So they are not going to release any more subscription versions, but will be releasing two more subcription titles? Are those different things?

cwhitmuzik Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yeah, that was probably the most scattered email I've ever read from a company, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So the two releases that will be announced next week for Vol. 2 won't be available separately? The whole "once sold out" line makes no sense. Hopefully they won't be albums I want if that's the case, or that the subscription won't be absurdly over-priced.

cannonball Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm assuming it's the Copland & Alkaline Trio Lps. Aren't they the only two left on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oterecords Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I really liked the ideas they had with their packages. Just not the actual albums or the pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how they ever expected to sell 250 subscriptions with such a wildly varied selection of albums though. We are not killing the subscription. We are just not doing another series after we release Vol. 2 until 2014. Does that make more sense? It has nothing to do with it selling well or not. It is almost sold out. The issues is plants are VERY slow and have been over the last 12 months so its hard to do a subscription where we bundle releases such as we did. The main point was to notify subscribers that we are extending the discount and advance pre ordering until 2014 as a thank you for being loyal. nothingnatural and Royce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
