thoughtsky Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 So I saw this thread right here (http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/94538-petition-to-get-bicycle-music-comp-to-repress-afi-all-hallows/?hl=petition) and was quite delighted! Although this needs a lot more signings, the idea seems to work. I thought about this and I was thinking that there could be some other records for which we could set up such a petition! My first thoughts were about the debut LP by La Dispute named Vancouver. This one reaches prices above 300$ sometimes and I heard a lot of people demanding this but no one ever tried with a petition. What do you think about it? Do you think that labels will answer the requests? I know some guys of the most labels which would be involved (No Sleep and so on) are on here, so your opinion from the side of a label would be interesting too! PS: Contra arguments are totally ok but please don't show up with "I bought this record for 600$! I don't want a repress". EDIT: The petition for repressing Vancouver by La Dispute is now up! Lets make this happen! https://www.change.org/petitions/friction-records-no-sleep-records-repress-vancouver-by-la-dispute-on-vinyl TO-DO: - get contactemail / data from Friction Records - get contactemail / data from No Sleep Records - get contactemail / data from La Dispute (?) - reach the 2000 !! kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'd make a thread after you set up the petition and solicit those of us on here to support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 In general I just wanted to hear some opinions on this first. The petition would be the next step! I want to hear some reactions and want to get sure there is enough interest and support to push this through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Are you creating a petition to create another petition? Just make one, post it around, and see what happens. jtcohenour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 No I wanted feedback in this thread without a petition and THEN a petition for the repress! I will create on though now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoughtsky Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 There is one thing I still need and that is a valid email from Friction Records! I will definitely send this out to No Sleep as well as it may be possible that they can do a repress too but as Friction seems to own this in first place, I'd like to inform them as well! I couldn't find any email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrice55 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Signed and shared, let's make this happen.. Only 495 more needed, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks ! I also shared this through my tumblr! Hope this gets some notes! I set the limit to 500 signings. Do you think this will be enough? I guess I'll have to put this up a bit so the labels see that there is some real big interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Maybe set it to 2000? If it spreads through tumblr I'm pretty sure you'll hit 2000 given their following. Oh, and signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtsky Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah, I'll do that! 2000 also seems to be a number to me, that would impress a label regarding the pressing amount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcohenour Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 2000 seems like enough to warrant some serious attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
