Johndelve Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Will be interesting to see how this one sells; great music of course, bu it strikes me as wildly overpriced. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Come-Go-Me-Collection-VINYL/dp/B07Y4KVKSH/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=staple+singers&qid=1575989660&s=music&sr=1-1
Guest Shufflin Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 prices vary on this one but can't se why anyone would spend
Mal C Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Well at twenty pound a throw Per 12” disc, that’s still 20 quid over priced... dunno, great way to get it all, it would be fun! but that’s allot of dosh...
Johndelve Posted December 10, 2019 Author Posted December 10, 2019 It is, especially as one could get most of the original albums at £3 or £4 quid without having to look very hard, and only Soul Folk In Action or We'll Get Over originals would set you back around the £20 mark...and even the 1 disc of 'rarities' is hardly thrilling...and I LOVE the Staples...so if I'm underwhelmed.....
John Reed Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Who is the target market for this release? I would have thought it was people like us, but as many have said, its too expensive for what it is.

Guest Shufflin Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 the new Gerri Granger record posted above is really good, Richard S was very enthusiastic about it on one of his recent Solar Radio shows, mine shipped yesterday
Guest Shufflin Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) another new 7" to be aware of is No Laggin' and Draggin', by Renaldo Domino, Colemine Records, cracking tune, a couple of dealers already have it listed on discogs for £30 it's a rough trade out there Edited January 21, 2020 by Shufflin added label
Rick Scott Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Record selling / buying new releases has changed so much these days its a bloody Nite Mare, coloured this splattered that, this mix that mix, Ltd this Ltd that, big hole, little hole, there definitely will be no re-press (Yea Right!), anyone else get a bit frustrated with all this or do most people not give a "Daffy Duck".

I get annoyed by the 'strictly limited edition no re-press' then it gets a re-press coloured vinyl can have play back issues I prefer to play the black vinyl copy but might get the cloured too if it's interesting I'm a bit more discerning with what I buy new now (and fewer of 'em) compared to the past

I got that fed up I’ve almost stopped buying many new releases, just a few labels I can trust will be quality, the odd other release I come across. The culture of creating a rarity before it is released , I just don’t see the point. Its supposed to be about sharing the music and not ripping off customers. Rarely pay over £12 now. 6

The culture of creating a rarity before it is released , I just don’t see the point. Its supposed to be about sharing the music and not ripping off customers. Rarely pay over £12 now. I'm with you on that one. I contacted Kimberlite last year to ask if they had plans to repress (and highlighted that their releases were selling for ridiculous amounts on the resale market). Understandably they are a small company and can only afford to press approx 250 of each release and have no plans to press more or repress ... as I guess they make more money from mp3s. It's not the company that's ripping off customers - they can't afford to press too many in case they don't sell. I can't see them making much profit from a 250 run 'even' at 50% profit on £12 record its only a £1,500 - I suspect they barely break even on the vinyl! It's the resellers making the profits. I know some who specifically buy 2 copies (or more if they can) of each new release specifically to make money on them. Surely this shouldn't be what it's about ... making money and preventing others buying at face value. ... this is fed by the sometimes ridiculous OVO policy (hard hat ready and waiting!) ensuring that many new and recent releases can never be played if not released on vinyl - the hypocrisy is that some buy CD/mp3 and then get carvers cut ... but somehow that's 'acceptable'? I've recently seen OFO what does that mean original File/Format only? P.S. I'm referring to brand new releases here not reissues. Edited January 22, 2020 by Soulstrutter 2

Are these artists no longer interested in selling music? One reason I no longer bother with many of these releases, especially with average ballads you hear every day. 1

Richard Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Digital age has killed any chance of making a living as a singer/musician. Even mega stars like Peter Frampton complaining about receiving only 0.001 cent from every play on Spotify etc.

Forget trying to make a rarity, make them accessible to all, they might get more attention.

Seano Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Ah - succumbed to the clear vinyl eh? It's all good. Not sure how often I'll put the instrumental on though - it's the vocal that does it for me.

Not sure, but didnt Record Shack put out the original 2014 release on 45 as an edit of the Leeway Lp track ? As this ones also from Record Shack perhaps its a test press of the same ?
