    Pre-Order Thread

    Hey guys! :) I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to see this... 5 hours left to pre-order and then it's officially out of print. First ever (and likely only) pressing of Arms and Sleepers - The Organ Hearts - a trip-hop/downtempo classic that I'd put up there with the likes of the best...

    Pre-Order Thread

    If anyone is a fan of Vampire Weekend, I'm pressing a cover album of Contra that is an extremely beautiful stripped down version with lots of guest vocalists. Needs 100 copies to press, and we are already at 75 in just a few hours :) 100% of the profit is going to The National Alliance To End...

    Pre-Order Thread

    I'm talking across the internet, brother. Just about every small label I follow had their own versions. This whole argument reeks of you just simply don't like me. Which is FINE. But this argument is exhausting and cluttering up the thread so if you have more issues, feel free to DM me. I said...

    I had mine set to 100 copies, though. I assure you, the cut qrates takes plus the cost of all the factors of the pressing leaves very little profit unless there's a huge oversell. Either way though, this argument doesn't make a lot of sense to me still. There were like six thousand King Gizzard...

    I encourage you to sign up for their site and create a project with similar specs. You don't need to publish anything. It might be eye opening once you see all the fees and costs. I set it at 100 copies to guarantee it got made, and $32 was the MINIMUM I could charge at that quantity level. Like...

    But... this is a bootlegger thing that KG did. They gave everyone the material and told them to go nuts, do whatever they wanted with it. There were literally no rules other than "send us a few copies" which all of my profit from the release went to.

    Pre-Order Thread

    I asked the above user to show me where I have been saying "limited to 100" on releases after the Supasonic one. I remembered that feedback and took it to heart. For example: "The 7th vinyl record on the Too Many Records label is up for pre-order TODAY. We need 100 copies to make it happen. "...

    Pre-Order Thread

    Thank you!! There aren't many copies left so I wouldn't dally TOO long (not marketing, just being honest!) I've been a fan of Marcus D for years and years, and when I saw MH was never on vinyl, I reached out to him. We had a ZOOM call and I pitched him on the release, my ideas for it, and my...

    Pre-Order Thread

    I appreciate the feedback. I don't appreciate you calling me a label in quotes, because I have released two records traditionally through Gotta Groove at this point, so I am indeed a label whether you like it or not. Condescension is not a kind look. I did the King Gizzard release mostly for...

    Pre-Order Thread

    From what I can tell, people took issue with me saying there were 100 copies when it could go over. I've tried to be more explicit about how QRATES works since then. TMR-10 is a totally different thing... it's not through QRATES, and it DOES have a finite amount of copies. I'm really not sure...

    Right. And as far as I know I took the advice of everyone for my future releases. You responded to my message as if I was continuing to perpetuate a problem and now you're saying you haven't been following so I'm just confused is all!

    If I'm not mistaken, that's the same release I am getting flak for in this thread. Can you show me where, since then, I've insinuated that things are limited to a specific number and no more?

    Pre-Order Thread

    Hey all. I know this is the pre-order thread but there are some posts talking about my label's releases (and me as a human) and I felt the need to share some thoughts. 1) The Reddit thing. I think the reality of the situation has been a bit distorted. There was a guy who was in two of my...

    Hip Hop

    I'm extremely excited and proud of these two releases that I just put up for pre-order on my label, so I had to share with this thread. TMR-10: Marcus D - Melancholy Hopeful (Basically a Nujabes record, same vibe and same collaborators, a true honor to the man's legacy)...
