Episodes on Vinyl

[Osiris]

I glanced at a couple of websites that do pressings. Whoa, there are lots of options and a wide range of pricing. It's not so expensive per record, but you have minimum order amounts. For instance, one wants $879 for 100--that's less than $1 ea (for bare basics). Another wants a run of 500 before they'll do colored vinyl. So, for sure it would be a Kickstarter project. I think you'd end up with a collectors item though. I'm thinking that getting this together could be done by us fans for Kc if he's interested in it.
What do you think?
Do you think we should do a poll to see if anyone would be interested or check with Kc first?

I'd say do a poll... either way to see what kind of interest it would generate... though I'm concerned about your maths... maybe rechecking them is a good idea? I like the idea of a double gate release. At about 25 minutes (max) per side, you can get a chapter and maybe a brief cast/crew message to the fans? THAT would be awesome! You could do the first chapter, or the last chapter (or perhaps the one voted for by fans) and include a message from each of the cast members. Maybe it's just a thank you to Kc and the fans or maybe it's just something else? A little 'special' that Kc puts together as a way of thanking the fans for all their support of the years. An alternate ending? Or the big reveal about a key plot point that never ends up being directly addressed in the show itself.

Shit... I'm getting way too many ideas! I <3 you so much for making me think!

Too true, almost 9.00 per record and that was definitely the cheapest so far. Although, my favorite so far was red and had a buzz saw edge!

Niiiice. I'm definitely interested in the idea. I'm curious if that includes packaging. If not, there's another big cost. I tell you what though, it'd be awesome to see one of abayarts posters in a double gate fold out!

HELL YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! i like the special message idea, but what about like a commentary thing, like all the cast and crew involved in the episode do a commentary on the backside on it, talk about what went into it, what they were thinking when doing it, etc.

$879/100= $8.79 ... Math

That would require more albums... unless it was a one off of a part of a chapter.

[reaper239]

that's what i'm talking about, just for the chapter on the album, like in movies. you could even run the chapter in the background.

nah, what i really want is like a short. you know, a little side piece that has nothing to do with the main story? that'd be beast yo.

I can dig it.

How about a picture disc album? Record a chapter on the record and put the chapter artwork on the disc. I remember those fondly from olden times and always thought they looked cool. You might not even have to put the audio on the disc, my impression was that they were mainly for show and I can't remember ever seeing anyone play one.
