Vault-like Subscription Model

[absof]

Why has BC never bothered with something like this?

https://thirdmanrecords.com/products/vault-subscription

https://www.discogs.com/label/307889...s-Vault?page=1

Ability to find out what the fans want prior to production. Only produce the quantity that's ordered. Sell for a price that guarantees it's profitable.

Seems like an easy, low risk way to make fans happy. (Maybe that's the issue?)

SPRC was something like that, wasn't it?

The Ego is fragile and feeds on control.

Wasn’t that just a few mp3s released sporadically?

[Forgotten Child]

Yeah, but I thought the original project was supposed to eventually release hard copies too.

Third Man Vault is a labor of love from someone who's 100% invested in music and art. For all we know, it might not even be lucrative at all (licensing Bob freaking Dylan and Syd Barrett must have cost a pretty penny)

Willy Parrick Cargan doesn't give a fuck about music and would much rather be a businessman ("I'm a free-market libertarian capitalist" lol), hence the cheapskate impresario, cutting corners, bits and shits

William is more interested to sell us his sorted out records from his old vinyls collection at his tea shop...

Forgot all about SPRC. Another one thrown on the ever growing scrapheap of abandoned projects.

But yeah, a cool idea, but Big Willy C doesn't care about it. Maybe throw a note to his social media manager, he might pay attention then.

[T&T]

willy might have found out that the demand for his vaults is not profitable.... can't risk hurting his ego.

After bitching long enough about the postage prices at Zuzu’s and seeing them change, I feel like we’re already being watched.

Such a missed opportunity, least we got a few cool demos from it. Wonder what happened behind the scenes here, fair to say plans were made then fell apart

It doesn't need to be some "secret club" with tiered subscriptions and shit. It could just be as simple as:

First 100 presale orders get an autographed copy, remaining 400 copies will go on Zuzus.

Plus, stop with all the weird gimmicks. Release professional, consistent looking products that fit on collector's shelves. No one wants a fucking candle in the record collection. We are music fans, not crap hoarders.

It was around the same time that the Gish and Siamese Dream reissues were released, I remember Frail and Bedazzled was like a "thank you" download for preordering them. Perhaps these were intended to be teasers to coerce you into buying the reissue, or maybe they were afterthought tracks. Or maybe BC just didn't want to give stuff away for free after Teargarden didn't work.

Either that, or like most projects, he got bored and forgot about it.

There were already many people wanting them to do more CD releases and cheaper shipping costs outside the States in the comment section on ZuZu's Instagram site.

But I was the only one asking also for a next bunch of the MACHINA reissue box set published on 1st of April...

[houseofglass11]

There’s such a wealth of SP live/demo material already out there that there’s probably not much point.
