Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

[mapsandlegends]

Regret not signing up on that black Friday deal!

Not too late! Email talk@bandboxrocks.com and say that I sent you and they’ll process payment (at the Black Friday $150 price) and put you on the membership list for 2023.

Appreciate your offering that on our boards. I’ve been happy with my subscriptions and the new exclusives have been really nice.

Members only sales or access to any out of stock leftovers that might be lying around.

I'll second member alerts on new releases and low stock.

Pressing details (location, mastering, etc).

Looks like the pressing location will be an easy answer soon!

I had the same thought!

Right on, thanks. I'll shoot an email a bit later tonight.

Just listened to my Laura Stevenson and was blown away! Very happy with my pick!

Did you get The Wheel?

Did you get The Wheel?

My Wheel is really noisy throughout, but Cocksure sounds great.

Yes, The Wheel. Some pops here and there throughout, but nothing awful.

I love hearing what you all want from Bandbox! Please keep it coming. You can also always email me at alex@bandboxrocks.com. One thing that’s going to make a lot more things possible in 2023 and beyond and help solve the problem of delays - we’ve bought our own pressing machine.

Press me that Cap'n Jazz bby

 

[wmeugene]

Are there any updates as to the second batch of Cap’n Jazz? I was in that group and was curious, I think it’s been awhile

 

[hayema7]

Also wondering @mapsandlegends if we’re going to get more limited pressings. Seems like it’s been a while since there was a number put out there. Maybe the Thrice drop?

Can we not? I’m getting sick of the artificial scarcity/limited pressings game.

Amen. The more the merrier.

 

[hayema7]

Amen. The more the merrier.

I’ve been overruled

 

[CroutonBoy]

Pressing more albums that have never been pressed or are oop.

I mentioned this in the "Albums that Need to be Pressed/Repressed on Vinyl" thread a while back, but my collection will forever be incomplete without a vinyl copy of 90s Minneapolis legends Semisonic's "Great Divide." I'd be remiss not mentioning it now. Heck, even some Trip Shakespeare would be amazing.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Gee, thanks! I’m currently focusing on brainstorming ways to make it an even better club. Any suggestions from you all here would be appreciated and I’ll do my best to implement as many as possible.

A money saver option for you guys would be to have the option to bundle shipments together. I have 3 different records currently coming my way separately.

 

[Murfocakes]

I mentioned Martha Wainwright in comparison to Laura Stevenson on here, but I would really appreciate her debut or I Know You’re Married But I Got Feelings Too. Both have never seen a vinyl press

 

[Murfocakes]

Or maybe some Silver Jews. But let’s not make this a total request page. Less ultra limited pressings I also feel. I want Presidents Of The USA to still be there when I make my pick later on.

 

[MikeH]

Might grab that Laura Stevenson next time I have a swap, but as of now looking to get Froggystyle this month, then Yo La Tengo next month and maybe Metric after that.
