UM CD Sampler

[Mark]

If we released a 'sampler' CD of tracks from unsigned bands... and it cost ~$5 (for 8-10 tracks), would you buy it (providing it had stuff you liked)?

Christ, I work here and I'd buy that! (Provided I didn't already get it for free... )

US$ or Australian $?
Shipped around the globe for that ~5$?

 

[Mark]

US$, and no, not inclusive of shipping

This is all just ballpark figure stuff, of course Just gauging (guaging?) interest!

 

[Eddy]

Ah, oakiedoakie!

 

[shrike]

I'd buy several!!

This is an old post from last year, but I'm wondering what the current feeling about this is

This won't happen for at least another 8-12 months, but I'm still curious

Well, you don't suck, but no, I wouldn't buy it. I don't like compilations/samplers. I'd rather download the samples and buy the whole CD if I like it.

 

[Mark]

What if their CDs weren't readily available (ie, not for sale in the UM Store ), and the only way of getting a CD-quality track was to get the sampler?

I DO see your point, tho - I'm not fussed on compilations myself, but do enjoy the occasional one

Gauging

I would tho! But seeing it won't happen for a while, u should be in England when it does which makes paying ofor it easier So goffa it you funky monkey!!

No, i don't think i would buy the sampler, unfortunately!
I live in Sweden and i have to exchange money and then send them,
which costs too, but not much of course, but anyway!
A little advanced process!

Or am i lazy?

One word: Paypal

 

[Brutalizer]

hehe How does this PayPal work then?

Actually, if you combined hard to find demos (the whole things) into a CD, I might go for that. Right now, I have 2 demos on my want list (Degree Absolute and Echosilence). I'd love to get both of those on a CD. Same could go for other bands, too. If it was just one song per band, then no, I'd rather not. Thought I'd add some clarification to my point.

Later.
