I read about the Soul Asylum on Twitter. They did an unplugged show (in Minneapolis, like the record would suggest) and Bandbox was there selling preorders of that night's show on vinyl. More people that got hosed by BB, basically.

Yup. That's why I posted it. I got an email from them, so I'm wondering if they bought Bandbox's email list, too?

The zine is a big part of the appeal for me. That said, I love the album-specific ones and am less interested in the career retrospective ones they do when they issue a few albums by the same artist and use the same zine for all.

Sound of Vinyl is owned by Universal Music Group. The retailer (SOV) is owned by the label

Could it also be a way of avoiding paying royalties since they're "giving away" the records?
