    "i imagine this will rehash the controversy of charging a lot for a vinyl release"b, 21b, 21Yeah, especially for the Juice Crew. It's not like super random obscure rap, we're talking about the Juice Crew! That said, I'd consider copping but man.

    I've copped some dwg's in the past. If I've got money sitting in the paypal account it's kind of a no-brainer. b, 21The price is steep, but from what I understand, or at least I assume, it's high so that they can actually give the artists some money. b, 21b, 21This one does sound good too.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. b, 21b, 21The price isn't for the feint of heart, but it's not because we're making money. As Controller suggested, the majority of the loot goes straight to the artist(s) we work with. We'd have it no other way. What little is left goes toward keeping the forum up and things like that. We all have day jobs and do this because... (and I know this sounds corny)... we love it.b, 21b, 21We'd like to think some of these songs *may* have never seen the light of day had we not pressed them up. Sure, someone may have come and put them out after us, but they haven't for the last 20 years. Who's to say it wouldn't have been another 20, by which point we'd all be wearing suspenders and listening to Neil Sedaka on our wireless iPods (no dis)?b, 21b, 21Again, thanks for the feedback. These releases aren't for everyone, but hopefully those that dig them feel their money has been well spent.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21I'm just curious how you guys decide on the the number of pressings? 350 is higher than it was for the Unique EP if I recall but you probably could have gone up to 500 if you had wanted.
  • SureshotSureshot 134 Posts
    It really boils down to the time, energy, and resources we have to do it. Part of it is feel as well though. Say we doubled the press on the Godfather Don and cut the price in half. Could we have sold out? Maybe... I don't know. But none of us are financially well off enough to risk finding out.b, 21b, 21We started with 100 on the Phill which took 2 to 4 weeks to sell out, I think? 150 on the Godfather Don sold out in a little shorter time. We went 175 on Unique and that blew up, selling out in four days.b, 21b, 21So taking what we can put into this into account and laying all that over our existing customer base and ability to handle risk, 350 seemed like the right number to go with on the Marley. Marley agreed.b, 21b, 21I will say that after we've sold out on all of our previous projects, we've always wished we had pressed a few more. This may end up being the same. But we've found that just about everyone who has wanted to buy a copy has had the opportunity in the past.

    if anybody bought dooblays and they want to trade for a phill most ep or the tiplove lp let me know. I've got doubles of those and would be willing to trade a spare.

    it's hard to believe that some of this Juice Crew stuff didn't come out back when it was 1st recorded
  • DelayDelay 4,530 Posts
    i'm guessing 'i declare war' ran into problems with that survivor sample.
  • SIRUSSIRUS 2,554 Posts
    what would be the reason for shelving this stuff.sample clearence wasn't that tuff back then right?pre-turtles/biz lawsuit schitt was wideopen no?
