Have you heard our planned releases ????????
So basically what is being said is that any label which releases
above or beyond a certain threshold of releases is making a huge
mistake.
Are you aware of what concepts/contents our new releases have ?????
Markant made the huge mistake of releasing record after record which
sounded exactly the same. V/Vm is not MARKANT.
Just ask yourself if Privileged Frames sounds like Chart Runners or
if either of them sound like Pigeon or how about comparing the Fat
Cat 12" to Turkey and Stuffing -------and then try comparing
everything previously released to the PIG or MACHINEs.
Come up with any anwers yet ????
It would be easy for us to keep churning out the same material and we
see many labels attempting this (No we won't name names). We TRUST
that the people who have previously bought and still buy VVM releases
would expect more from us anyway. We are not ripping people off by
increasing our output and we feel disgusted that you feel this way.
Maybe you would like to come over and visit us to actually see what
work we put into our releases. Hand etched vinyl(pigeon), Hand
written covers(machine), Individual Christmas cards, Special
pressings for the US/Canada etc.
We are also aware that many VVM releases have been costing far more
to buy than we would like. Efforts are being made to supply shops
etc. direct thus keeping costs down-------------

This is your opinion and we are glad you have an opinion----- but it
is not founded on anything at all. If in 12 months after our records
are released you feel like this then that is fair enough. Of course
not all our releases will appeal to everybody on this list. There
will be so many styles of music covered as we continue to diversify
into new areas where we feel challenged.
As for burning out you don't know us very well or are giving us
little credit. There will be many artists burning out long before we
do and this is a promise.

Isn't it about the music and not the format ????
At least with our relaxed policy you can copy our newly designed
tracks as many times as you wish on whatever format you want. The
machines have been designed for manipulation and with full permission
for people to release their outputs. What other labels offer this
policy ?????
+ the promised MP3 files will appear soon as well----/////
What hope for is that people will take each release at FACE value
and judge it on content before deciding whether or not to buy.
THE DAY COMPLACENCY EXISTS WITHIN OUR MUSIC AND
RELEASES IS THE DAY WE STOP.
EVOLUTION MUST OCCUR FOR US TO CONTINUE.
Thanks for the opportunity to respond.
