Dear All, Henrik wrote: >MASK 01 = 165$ , MASK 02 = 150$ This is all pretty fucking sick. 165 dollars for four tracks, $165 is about 21 12"s on Modernmusic (average price $8)... I don't blame Henrik or anyone else holding an auction (I myself offered 500 SEK with is about $62, still a lot, but I don't blame anyone for not accepting 500 when he can get 1300 instead), I understand that there are few other ways of doing this (closed auction is one), but I just want to stress that it's a big shame that the one with the most money always grabs things even in this field. I know that this is how things work in this marketbullshitworld of ours but when the DEMAND is SOO MUCH bigger than the SUPPLY and something can be done about it, I think it should be done (which was the original intention with this mail). I know there are a couple of folks from labels on this list and here is my plea: don't limit editions and REISSUE! Although I already had the original CD of Analogue Bubbelbath 3 I went goo goo when Rephlex reissued it, not only did it drive down the prices (I saw it at $80 before the reissue), but it also made a great recording available to people (which is basically the most important thing), I've got the four Joyrexes, but I'd still like em to be re-printed, all on fucking white vinyl! ;) (and I don't have Legofeet, so please, Skam... :). I understand that is costs money to keep everything in print, and if money's lacking that's a good excuse. However, there are really no excuses for labels that make records in 1000 copies with a secondhand value of $60 (Jega, SKA006) to make a 12" in 100 copies. And folks, don't hesitate: Burn CD boots of deleted releases! Dub! And do us all a favor. Thanks all for 1997.
