by the way

1972 from the album

by the way – after two business months in 2016 we simply conclude, that the major industry forces the disinterest on classic retail sale. Why ? wholesale prices for new releases again up and away. THIS MAKES NO SENSE for all participants ! we called major label Sony/BMG in munich to asked for a customer ID for simply business and the upcomin‘ Record Store Day. Verbally they told us – this makes no sense for them, because of the expectedly sales with us. We know their program, but do they know us? No – so simply fuck u !!

meanwhile we enjoy our daily job, because we love to discover

Record Store Day 2014

mmmh? last year I asked and I do it again – does the RSD makes sense for a normal, small, private,  independent old school record store – no!! why ?  – because i don’t have that play money i need, to order these tons of releases for again higher prices. I don’t have the good old Dukatenscheisser in the basement. Buying price for a RSD 7Inch in 2014 five to ten € – each. How many do i need 1/3/5/10 – more? That means for just one interesting article prepayment from realistic 20 to 100 Euros. How many releases? LPs, Boxes, …..up from 15€ to 50€ each – how many make sense – 1, no – 2, not really, 3, more ?

For this year we mainly concentrate on 7Inches and will hopefully offer a nice, interesting mixture . For preorder, of course also on 10/12Inches and Boxes, please use the german list !
