Because it's sad to put a lot of effort and money into a CD just to see it available for free at P2P nets a few days later and selling just a few hundred copies because everyone interested has downloaded it or got pirated copies available for less at flea markets, or a friend copied it for him or... Besides, a lot of people are turning their ears back to vinyl. It's a much more collectible format and IMHO... just sounds better. We want to make short runs so they sell out quickly and grab the money to make more records in a 2-or-3-per-year basis. — |

We're doing the vinyl thing too, no more CDs in the forseeable future. We have a 4 song ep coming out in Feb 09 on our new label, Reverb Ranch, called Ski School. Hey, we are from the Frozen North. The 4 tracks were recorded live off the floor at an amazing studio, featuring just the 3 of us on drums, bass & baritone guitar. Rev —Canadian Surf |

CDs for us. Not having CDs pressed eliminates a HUGE percentage of buyers. Also, vinyl is much more expensive so you won't net the same return you get from a CD. Sell 100 CDs make your investment back, sell 200 CDs and you can finance a smaller vinyl run or t-shirts. If you only sell a couple hundred CDs there aren't that many people trading it illegally online. Besides, those people aren't going to buy it anyways. If you have a good product people are going to buy it regardless. |

I'll pick up vinyl before I pick up a CD from a band. But Jake's right, if the product is good I'll buy no matter the format. The TomorrowMen are broke mofos. We need a quick scheme to get some money to record. —Science friction burns my fingers. |

T-shirts always made us a bunch of money. And yes, I'm a vinyl before CD guy myself, however, I always end up pickup up for formats. |

A CD vs. vinyl thread has way too many people just making guesses about the differences between the two. And people always get the wrong impression about digital music quality. And what you said about 7" is totally dead on. You can't charge as much. We really wanted to get one pressed. We decided it was more cost effective to get LPs pressed instead. However, we never got any made. We decided to spend a lot more money recording our new album instead. It really shows as well. |

You guys should definitely go for a potty theme this time. After all these years in waiting... you're big kids now. |

Hey man this was suppose to be on the down low :lol:. Will this be a CD/LP release? 
And if so, will the album Art be of an Elmo Toilet seat? 
Hey Kyle do you still have any copies left of that Vampiro Classics CD?
That's good to know, I was hoping you guys would release it on Vinyl also. For the album cover may I suggest this?
you ever wonder how doing #2 on a potty with the kid's favorite fictional character is suppose to make it more appealing?
