Record Album
Independent record label should be counted
Sales of vinyl records over fifteen percent throughout last year (858,000 units 'buy in 2006 against 990,000 in 2007, according to Nielsen SoundScan), is the return of historical audio medium reached its peak? Nobody can say certainty, but one thing is certain, the sales figures are not a complete indication what is happening in the world 'vinyl' and the number of actual records sold.
The sales figures may be underestimated and under represent exact sales figures because they do not always include sales to more record stand 'Indie' for the vinyl, which is the best. I spoke with Virgil Dickerson, who owns a record of 'Indie' shops, and SuburbanHomeRecords.com vinyl collective (based in Denver, Colorado) to what perception of the trend back to vinyl records.
"Certainly, my CDs sales are falling, and saw an increase in sales of our vinyl records. People want a real product to go with his music. The album artwork registration and the great sound of vinyl also the reasons for the resurrection, "Virgil detailed." Digital music is "soul" of a record and there is almost A therapeutic ritual when vinyl gaming experience, the physical act of playing the record, the smell, have the record over to hear the other hand, all the reasons why people in love with ".
However, the resurrection of vinyl is only a hobby, what look ahead vinyl records?
"Some of our customers is what I term as" defenders of life ", people who buy the discs if they are noted or not, and may even have an extensive collection of records. And then there may be some that jump to the "train of vinyl records Cart to be cool or because they are popular, but always have a place for vinyl in the music community, "said Virgil.
As noted above, Virgil owns and operates of suburban Home Records, a label that signs and press the music Bands from around the world as well as groups of vinyl, a vinyl single store environment. And such eclectic different musical genres to choose from, including alternative country punk, heavy metal, rock and roll and almost any thing between them, their customer base are the different styles of music offers them.
We've discussed some of the vinyl format manufactured, including Audiophile vinyl, picture discs, new products and limited colored vinyl.
"About the color of vinyl, what do we want for We each holding is exceptional. Color vinyl is more common now than, say, ten years ago and is in great demand, people want it, so appease customers by releasing "Said Virgil." We have some that just a color, clear vinyl and added some spots and swirls. "
"The Picture discs are also highly sought after as well, but more expensive per unit of production. They are generally issued without jacket (maintained a new light-tight package), so that helps to reduce costs. And the sound quality may vary from good to bad depending on the pressing plant used. Audiophile records are more expensive, thus making a record of 180-200 grams instead of our standard, which is 140-160 grams, "said Virgil.
We also talked about the quality difference between sound recordings for audiophiles and the normal standard vinyl release.
"Audiophile records have a better sound quality for a higher grade of vinyl is used and more slots are cut in vinyl, which produces a clearer sound. I like to think they are more susceptible to scrapes and scratches and withstand normal wear and tear that a registration form is used because of its thickness, "related to Virgil.
We talked of "limited release" and why they are not only popular, but useful.
"Well, instead of pressing, for example, 5,000 copies of a particular record, you can only press 500. This will help keep our costs down and collectors love this kind of release will a record not common or uncommon, that may affect the resale value of the register, depending on various factors such as artist, status, etc. "
What jobs Marketing of others are used in the music industry?
"We are beginning to sign Bands for a 7" series divided. "We to do a pre-order for each of 7 "and some artists who are committed to the project, including Chuck Ragan / Tim Barry, William Elliott Whitmore / Josh Small, Problems fake / Look Mexico, Rocky Votolato / Chad Price (of Drag the River), just to name a few. The artists do a cover of a song that affected and what they do now. Not only have our own artists from Suburban Home Records, but the other record labels and artists as well. And it is less a marketing tactic, as it is a unique opportunity for artists to hear other fan bases who had not heard of the artist in front the divisions and also can introduce the listener to another genre of music is not heard. With luck, we hope that the customer is interested enough to collect all series, "Virgil detail.
We know the people behind the scenes and Suburban Home Records / vinyl together, one of hundreds of independent record label make quality vinyl records and allow independent musicians heard by the masses. Why the sales are not tabulated in stores the records of "big box" or the labels of foods is important for thinking. But if suburban Home Records / vinyl collective keeps releasing vinyl records quality is only a matter of time before they also become a "major label" and counted as the sale of vinyl records remains to move upwards.

I own over 300 albums to record. Make the record companies offer even the trade for cd album?
I feel that since I already own album and technology is chanced, I must have re-buy something I already own if I want to get the best sound for the money that expenses?
