dear mr constable pickle >>
hope jenny and the kids are well and send our love to uncle pete, and also
while we're on >>>>>>
//___all this talk about $250 for a pair of lego feet really is
beginning to grate like a mild man jan in a frying pan.
i really do feel sorry for the poor soul who purchased his lego feet
for the above price. for my part i really do think everybody has lost
their marbles on this one....
above all else this discussion trancends the collector issue and
enters the realm of the schoolyard "i've got it and you havn't"
attitude. these people who mail the list with prices for vinyl
stating how much can be made by re-pressing are really losing the
point. the point is that from our experience when vvmt1 was pressed
we had over 400 records sitting in a bedroom for over a year. as
people became aware this number dwindled down over a period of 12
months and the last six months has seen our stock disappear. the
total profit on vvmt1 over these two years was a net loss of about
£200. as a result of vvmt2/3/4 and cat flap people have suddenly
want vvmt1. we are in a position where if we re-press any stock
(which co-incidentally our distributors would love) we would be
unable to release new material. vvmt1/2/4 can all be downloaded i'm
informed from mp3's. surely people would prefer to have an mp3 of
vvmt1 and two other new ep's to listen to ? (it's about the music)
sure you get more when you buy an ep, you get the individuality of
the packaging and most importantly vinyl (an mp3 is only a small
compensation)l. the best thing everybody on
this list can do is to get behind and support, not just ourselves, but
all labels who release music in small quantities (because it's all we
can currently afford and unlike some people on the list we look
for no profit).
we are all aware that by re- pressing vvmt1 + skam1 we can make a profit,
but at the end of the day our time don't stick./ we must move on_ ::
too many people build careers by releasing one record and
re-releasing it 77or more times (no we are not going to mention any
names Elton).
instead of searching for a vvmt1 or skam1 why not spend your days
looking for the next V/Vm or Skam label whose records, like ours once
were, are sitting in a bedroom somewhere gathering dust.........
and i promise that when we can afford to re-press vvmt1 etc. without
it affecting any future releases we will do so, which will hopefully
stop these ridiculous prices.............
at the end of the day we are grateful and value your support so why
should we want to release small quantities thus making all of you pay
stupid amounts for them, it just doesn't make sense !
please support the guy who suggested starting an idm label. he has got the right idea,
the seed has been planted it now needs cultivating, lets see what can
be grown >>
