Skatepunk releases on vinyl

[disconnectdisconnect]

I think there was a thread on this a while back, but thought it was worth another go to get some ideas and see what you guys want. If you dont know, I run a small label in the UK called Disconnect Disconnect, and we've put out some stuff recently by the likes of This Is A Standoff, Mute and Jet Market. Skatepunkers is an important part of my fanbase / market so just wanted to get a few ideas on whether getting some future releases (or even re-releases) pressed is worthwhile, as there's a hell of a lot more money to lose doing failed vinyl releases than failed CD releases!

I dont know how to make a poll, but wanted to see whether people on here:
A) Have a record player
B) Buy vinyl
C) Dont have a record player but would buy vinyl with a download code
D) Have no interest in records
E) Prefer black or coloured vinyl
F) Would join up / support a pre-order / kickstarter campaign to guarantee funds to press something

Any ideas or feedback would be much appreciated. Due to having not fully backed a vinyl project myself before and my inconsistent sales I'm a lot more tempted to raise the funds first through something like Kickstarter and then get something pressed than just throwing £800+ ($1500) into a project for only 10 people to pick something up!

Cheers guys.

I addded a multiple choice pool for your questions (let me know if you like it, I can erase it if you want)

[DonLombardo]

E should be over instead of or, right?

[DonLombardo]

I prefer black if it's cheaper than.

Anyone wanna release Adhesive - Sideburner with me? It shouldn't take too much effort...

Awesome cheers Khet. I'll be in touch with the promo for the new comp this weekend!

I think for re-releases / pressings of older stuff, setting up something like a Kickstarter thing would be good to actually see if there's demand. Although I know some of my favourite records have never been brought to vinyl, if they're not from massive bands like Fat Wreck / Epitaph artists, I reckon people wouldnt be that interested unless there's something like a comeback on the cards / the band is still touring etc. Obviously this isnt the case all of the time, more just a word of warning to you - I have no idea how big the market would be for that particular release, and would hate to see someone lose lots of money and get totally disheartened with the whole idea if nobody picked up a record.

[RebukePete]

you have also put out stuff by Rebuke.

just saying.

kind of a big deal.

I have a bunch of punk on vinyl and buy records but don't have a record player and mostly listen to mp3s. Records are just neat things to own when they're of your favourite bands, have cool artwork and are possibly rare.

I have a record player and I play more records on it than cds on a cd player. I dont know why, maybe because vinyls are more classic than the cd or because they are bigger and cooler to put them on the player. About the records I own, I just have the classic ones likes the NOFx vinyls, Lagwagon, etc. I also have some After The Fall vinyls.
About the color, coloured ones looks better, but I give priority to the final price of the product. Are coloured vinyls pressing much more expensive than the black ones?

[DonLombardo]

I'd buy wouldworks anyday.

Also, I'd buy Be Excited by TIAS if you'd wanna put that out.

Forgot to say! I like re-presses as long as they havent been pressed on vinyl before. For example, I didnt like when a record label re-pressed the Blink182 Buddha's vinyl again, but I would like a lot to have an Adhesive's Sideburner vinyl press on my hands.

Adhesive - sideburner on vinyl might be my first vinyl.
I only buy cd's but I'd make an exception for this one. And who knows, maybe it'll lead me to buy a record player?

[DonLombardo]

We'll see, we'll see...
I listen a lot to my vinyl records, especially those who are vinyl only. And mostly when I'm doing the dishes since the vinyl player's speakers are in that direction. I just changed the needle and

I got Slick Shoes - Rusty a month or two ago, really happy about that one. and the Lagwagon box yesterday. And also the Inspection 12 album In Recovery.

[DonLombardo]

so there's like 5 people here alone tht would buy sideburners? that's pretty awesome.

+1. That kind of represses only confuse people. For example, when you see them up on eBay you dont know if you are bidding for the original pressing or not.

You should get a vinyl player dude! Even if the releases are already relesed on cd and as a skatepunk cd collector you are, getting a record player is like a "evolution among the cd collectors"

An Adhesive - Sideburner on vinyl would be awesome too. I'm not into releasing records and stuff, but if you want to release for example a super old record (like the Adhesive one), what do you have to do? Pay the Adhesive ex-members for a "license" or something?
