Rounder Records Album Club

[beardy gull]

I know we have a few members of this on here.....
Has anyone else not got September's album yet? Account was debited a week ago and they're usually pretty prompt?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm a member and I've not got mine either.

P.S. Great club isnt it?

Ah, good (I guess!)

Yes, it's marvellous. Loving Best Coast atm.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

one of the staff posts on here so your question should be answered soon .

Ariel Pink and DangerMouse/Sparklehorse as well. Three corkers.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'll be popping down there lunch time so I might have an answer as well.

 

[Mellotron]

I'm interested. How much do you pay, how often, and what do you get?

£10 a month and Steve sends you his choice release of the month. I love it. As an example we've been sent Best Coast, Arial Pink, Jeffrey Lewis, Megapuss, Dangermouse/Sparklehorse, Steve Mason, Grizzle Bear, of Montreal, Fever Ray, Foals.

If you've got an open mind and want to swim a little bit below the surface it really is worth joining. If you dont like the album, or you have already bought it, you can take it back for a £10 credit note.

They also send you some listening notes..and recommended further purchases.

I've been a member for 3-4 years now and there has only been one CD I have not got something out of - Coco f***ing Rosie...who drive me nuts with their airy fairy shit.

 

[Mellotron]

Does sound good, am tempted. Have you ever taken one back to get another?

Yes, a couple of times but only because I'd already bought it myself. You have to literally buy an album on release day and have your post delayed to have this issue, as they are send out on the Saturday I think. As I mentioned there has only been on album I've not liked/not got anything from...but I kept it regardless.

Also, I was in the shop today. In response to the original post, this month's long player will be going out this weekend. Release was delayed a week. Chappy would not tell me what it is though.

Oh, and I got a lovely 'of Montreal' vinyl album

My concern is whether I would be tempted to "cheat" the system by always returning CDs (having copied them) to get new ones?

 

[Mellotron]

Although I probably wouldn't bother because it would be too much effort.

A pretty shitty thing to do to a local independent record store would you agree?

 

[Mellotron]

Absolutely. I don't think I'd really do it, I should've phrased it as "what's to stop someone", but as you say, pretty morally bankrupt thing to do.

Now Internet Piracy, however...

Plus also they all sound like keepers, the albums they send out. I own about 4 of the ones you listed I think.

live broadcast from the Rounder basement - The label who are putting out this month's choice are incompetent wankers, first putting the release back by a week, then not sending it, then sending it today at the wrong price. An album (and at this rate it may not be the one in the boxes by my feet) will be with you shortly. apologies for the early debit on your accounts folks

If you're interested, and it usually works like clockwork, drop me a line at rounderrecords@btconnect.com

Thanks for the update. No problem about the early debit, was just worried it may have gone astray. Now to try and work out what's on the way...label incompetent wankers, you say?

 

[Hissing Fauna]

label incompetent wankers....

narrows it down, I know

 

[The Orange Seagull]

Good little shop is Rounder Records......I've been going there to buy vinyl for the last 26 years or so

 

[shoreham moonraker]

I blame the independant record stores, labels are always faultless

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Interesting to hear a positive point of view to this - I quite often buy cds from Rounder and always get the flyer for it but have always laughed to be honest, can't understand why you'd be someone that will part with 120 quid a year for music, but can't decide what you want yourself.

Do you not quite often get stuff that you are quite indifferent to and would rather have spent your tenner on something else?
