Yup, the rumors are true - there is a small, but real chance that OoT6 will be pressed on vinyl! This totally depends on the amount of interested minds we are able to find out there, so we need your honest views and your commitment to make this happen.
By using the funding service of Qrates there is an opportunity to press 100 or 300 copies for a surprisingly reasonable price. Qrates is a crowd funding website specifically geared towards the self-release of vinyl records which will only happen if the target is reached.
Before even starting to think about this I'd want to see how many out there are interested in buying copies. The feasibility of this project entirely depends on this, so please fill in the poll as if you really were to buy it.
The poll allows 2 votes per person! Please vote how many you want depending on the final amount. I can image one would buy more copies if it ends up the be €7,50 instead of €15,00. This poll will end shortly after the release of OoT6 so those who don’t want to “order” a copy unheard, should wait a bit.
Promote as much as you can at your local record store, Facebook, Twitter or even become a reseller yourself! Remember, YOUR chance to own OoT6 on beautiful vinyl depends on OUR ability to move enough copies.
The price of the vinyl will be approx.
- €15.00* / $16,88* (100 pressed) no test pressing
- €7,50.- * / $8.44* (300 pressed) including test pressing
The shipping costs are.
- World (Distributed by me via Germany, small trip for me and much cheaper than the Dutch mail)
- 1 €6,00* / 8,00* (registered mail)
- 2-3 €6,00* / 9,00* (registered mail)
- 1-25 €16,90* (insured shipping)
UK - £3.00* (£1.00* for any extra item) (Distributed by Mexicola)
These are the guidelines:
- Pressing is available from 100 copies (test pressing only available at a 300 copies run)
- The pressing will start once the desired amount of pre-orders is completed.
- Length of the funding campaign has a 90 days maximum.
- If not enough pre-orders were made, the vinyl will not be pressed.
*all prices are with reservation. It might change a little. For the record: this project is non-profit.
**Should the project happen then a special vinyl mastering is needed. More info on this in the next step. If we stick to 100 copies the quality of the final product will be very reliant on the mastering expertness.
*** Qrates currently is preparing a shipping solution service where they can ship the vinyl directly to you. If this is ready in time and cheaper we of course prefer that.
