I agree, that would be pretty unreasonable.
How about you go to your label and say, I want 150-200 vinyls pressed so that the small subculture of vinyl enthusiasts/collectors that still exists will continue to exist can keep up with the new music as it released
If I were a producer, I dont care if I take a $1000 loss on it, my fucking music would be out on vinyl one way or another.
Do you think anyone would give shit about Omar S. in 2010 if he ONLY released digital or CD's? No, they wouldnt. People want Omar S records because he sat there with his .45 by his side individually writing the labels onto each one |
It's still a matter of finances, dude. How do you know that Moshic has $1,000 to throw at it? In addition, it's not just the cost of the blank vinyl he would have to throw at it, it's the money that he'd have to shell out for the machine to press the vinyls "by his side", which would cost FAR more than an arm and a leg. At that point, the label still won't be down to shell out an additional grand if Moshic couldn't do it himself.
Omar-S does it because, not only does he have the passion for it, he has the money for it. Doing shit like this, even out of your bedroom, is extremely costly.
