Vinyl release

Hi folks - Dave from Brotherhood of the Machine here. 

Contingent on demand, we're thinking of releasing a limited edition 12" vinyl record - this will be a limited run of 100 copies. This will NOT be released in any other format. Ever. 

The cost will be 20 GBP / 30 USD, pre order. When we receive 50 orders, payment is taken and the albums are printed and sent out - this covers costs, just ! We'd throw in VIP membership to our site as well, which means you get all our prior releases. That normally costs 20 GBP alone.

"Tempting" is not much use, Tom. ;-)

234 views.... no, forget it. Risk a grand ? No chance. ;-)

Just a thought...post this on our Vinyl thread.....might get more responses/feedback. I will take a listen to the music as I am not familiar with it. But if Tom likes it, good bet I will too.....

Maybe there's not as much demand for vinyl as people think? Personally I haven't played any for years.

^ I saw this thread, but I told him once I would prefer CD, it's a genre I generally prefer on CD over vinyl.

I did have a listen, Dave.
Sorry, it's not something I would normally listen too. I like the sax on Meditation of the Blue Serpent though.

I've seen your other posts on the difficulty of making anything at all out of music, and I do sympathise. I thought the idea might have been good to get people involved up front, but obviously it's not easy to get people to sign up.

To tell the truth though, I don't want vinyl these days. I've actually been listening to a lot of vinyl lately, but mainly connected with my "project" to digitise them all so I can get rid of them all. They take up too much room (according to my wife, at least). I only buy downloads now, I've got past the need for a physical copy. Sad but true...

In any case, I'm not impressed with the quality - even with a good turntable and a new cartridge. Probably most of what I bought was the cheap stuff, back when I was a student, but it's quite crackly even after cleaning carefully (I bought a Knosti cleaning machine specially for the project.

It's been quite an adventure though, rediscovering ELP after at least 20 years. I'm up to G now, just completed Gabriel
With a bit of luck I can spin the project out another year and keep my collection a while longer

Thanks for the replies, folks. Project canned, of course. ;-)

Format means nothing to me when I think of good music.....All a format does is give me choices on how to enjoy the music. Sure some formats are more engaging than others, vinyl being the main one.....But if all we are talking about is music then does not matter. Look at how many people listen to music on youtube at very low bit rates, terrible sound quality, but they listen.
