Electronic Music discussion: shifting vinyl releases.

Written August 16 2011
Alrighty.
I've got a 7inch single coming out soon on a label called Metal Postcard Records.

sounds like this:

500 copies have been made, and I've been sent 50 of them.
Just wanted to hear some of your experiences and tips with what to do with your own vinyl.
I was planning on going round a few record shops with them, selling some at gigs etc.
Any knowledge is appreciated.
cheers!

Hey man, well done! I'll buy a copy too.
I did a load of 12"s a few years back and tried to hawk them round record shops. In my experience it's more trouble than it's worth: generally people won't buy something they've never heard of that's in amongst a rack of other records. I'd say your best bet is at gigs. Maybe on-line too...

Damn - that would have been the perfect promo man. You make a great Zombie too, what were they thinking?
I didn't even know about it until last the weekend driving through G Square wondering what the fuck was up with the traffic...
besides, the only way I could body double for Brad is if he went on the booze for 10 years, with no exercise, contracted a wasting disease and got beaten with the ugly stick a few hundred times... and then only maybe.
