i thought that those could be the reasons so thanks for clearing that up for me. am genuinely interested in how distro works, like how you approach a distro company, do you have to have your first few releases lined up? and just curious about all the costs/difficulties in getting a release into shops.::BLM:: wrote:It could be to do with the unit price. If Moodymann presses up 1000 to start with he is going to be able to get a better price then if he does a repress of 300.WillieSmalls wrote:Supply & demand.Harrison wrote:

The price also has to do with the distribution company and where the records are getting sent from. UQ is in the states so they have to ship the records from there to the UK, which puts the price up. We were selling at £7.99 when distributed via Intergroove. Now we are going through Rubadub and the price has come down to £6.50
good decision to go with rubadub i think!
and re: london rent, it's so much! i would love to move down after i graduate but would only move if i found a job that allowed me to live comfortably. at the minute i live in an amazing 2 bed apartment in a beautifully converted victorian building smack bang in Manchester city centre M1 and I pay £337pcm.
ps - don't quit your job!

Approaching a distro is as easy as sending an email. You need at least your first release sorted, but it's not a necessity to have more. I wouldn't worry about getting into shops as if you have a good distro they will do all this for you.Harrison wrote:i thought that those could be the reasons so thanks for clearing that up for me. am genuinely interested in how distro works, like how you approach a distro company, do you have to have your first few releases lined up? and just curious about all the costs/difficulties in getting a release into shops.::BLM:: wrote:It could be to do with the unit price.

Going back to record cost... We have just done a repress and for 300 it was 87p per unit, but for 200 it was 1.050 per unit. So this should give people an indication of why certain releases are priced higher then others.
Then why perlon prices are so high? 10 euros seems a lot of money for a vinyl, and if I dont like all the tracks then it's worst. I can pay 10 to 12 euros for a white label, bootleg, super limited press whatever I really like, but for a regular release. I assume they are a well known label and they know they are selling almost all units they are going to press (so they press a good quantity of copies), then i dont understand where BLM theory is failing there (that doesnt mean i dont believe it ),
It's not going to be the same for each record label, but for the ones mentioned I was correct. Anyways I don't know about Perlon as I don't follow their releases, but a quick search shows me they have full cover artwork which pushes the price up. Basically anything that could push the unit price up( full cover artwork, inner sleeves, different colour disco bags, heavy vinyl etc..) will affect the price we buy at.
You say they sell all their units, where did you hear this from? Do you know how many they are selling or are you just speculating? Is Perlon still a big label? I dont really see their releases anymore.
