Unfortunately I do not have any regular distribution in Greece, apart from Teo Klhmatzdas. Please feel free to encourage your local stores to get in touch and stock - my wholesale prices are very affordable and they can have my releases for under 7 Eur, shipping included! (under 5 Eur on the older titles!)Priamos wrote:Do you have regular distribution in Athens, Iordan? Do the stores supply with everything you release or do they buy only certain items?
Sooner or later I always find everything I need from your stuff in our local shops but i prefer the "sooner" prospect much more!

Bigfootkit: thanks for the kind words, appreciated! Having a good artwork/booklet is always important for me because it is the way I can contribute to the project and wrap a good music with appropriate packaging.
Developing the artwork and creating the layouts always have been the best part of the entire process to me. I could never get much satisfaction of a release I dont like the artwork/packaging, even if it sells great. There are always some compromises to be made of course, but in general I've been quite boneheaded about it, and I'm known to have dropped projects when bands will come with unappealing "artworks" and will not let me have at least the back cover for alternate solution.
Nightsblood: I assume someone in your neck of the woods have been taking advantage of the $5 clearance sale with free shipping included I've been running on back-catalog titles. There have been some people picking up multiple copies, which could have been resold to stores. That's perfectly fine with me, as far as people help me move the stock out I'm a happy camper.

I totally agree with your approach, the packaging can play a big part in swaying me as a consumer of music.GandALF wrote:I'm known to have dropped projects when bands will come with unappealing "artworks" and will not let me have at least the back cover for alternate solution.
If the artwork looks slapdash then (rightly or wrongly), i tend to assume that the label probably haven't taken due care in other aspects of the records production too.
It's like the old Van Halen M&M contract clause.
I definitely wouldn't say you've been "boneheaded", in this respect, as poor packaging is absolutely detrimental to the overall appeal of a record.
Having said that i've ended up with some real clunkers in my collection over the years after falling for nice sleeves, but it's at least some consolation that i can enjoy looking at them even if i don't want to ever hear them again.
I cannot, I shall not, I will not obey.

It is going to be whenever all planned releases are wrapped up and ready to be manufactured. There are so many things outside my immediate control that every time I set up a date it is bound to be broken and only makes people unhappy. Therefore, I said February, hoping to have them out a lot sooner than that.

It's nice to see that the first 3 volumes of this series have sold out. I guess we know where the demand in your releases is now.
How come the original Arachnid tape cover was not included anywhere in the booklet?
Either way, as long as you keep putting out this old obscure stuff you will have my support for your label. I think you are on top of your game right now.
