As most of you know i run a small indie label, well on nov 12th we have a release by a band called Maths Class and they are like a electro punk band.

well pre sales are doing really well, we are neck and neck with the cribs. if any of you buy this package, i will buy you a pint at next away game! every sale is crucial and hopefully we can get in the top 40.

its only £3.50 for cd and 7 inch signed single.

by the way can anyone buy me a wycombe ticket, not sure if i can get one for obvious reasons.

I will grab you a ticket, please remind me! Also will buy one of these, got The Enemy and Ian Browns new CD today so thought why not

Cant buy it as my security number on card is wipped off! Anywhere else I can get it in store?

should be able to if you have an independant shop in swindon, or order it from HMV. you been stealing pensioners credit cards again?

Are Maths Class the spazzers with the tight jeans and bendy legs?!

You've just sold one more copy anyway..

(p&p is a fucking rip off mind)

 :D

how much is p&p?

Done.

actually sussex, if you bought the package it counts as 2, so nice one.

cheers by the way ben and sussex :D

Yeap the old girl had wipped it though!

Will go to HMV in the week, how much is it worth getting into the top 40 then?

Fuck knows, this was the email I got:



Can I meet the band?

yes if you like, they are playing in brighton next week, i will set up a meet and greet for you.

You haven't seen my rider yet. I'm not as cheap as I look  :D

i'll buy a copy later.

thanks yoof xx

If you think I am the type of person that pays out my hard earned money on a record of a band I have never heard of and probably won't like just because some bloke off the internet who I never met told me to you are right. I have ordered it (paypal makes it easy)

Don't worry about the pint, I'm not sure I can risk being seen with a known hooligan :)

Incidentally, how easy is it to get them on a download store? Would that be cheaper and also help with the push to the top 40?

I'm off to recoup my money off some Nigerians who have millions and have  chosen little old me to help them rip it from the evil government expounders hands.

thanks batch, do you have a contact for the nigerians?

No problem.

They are my Nigerians, find your own.

Just been on their MySpaz site and they sound mental, I like. Is it available to download too? Just thinking you might get loads more sales that way in this digital-electronic mega mega cyber age.

Oh and don't worry about the pint.

it will be available on download on nov 12th. itunes and all that jazz.

this is ace, be fucking mental if we get in top 40!!

Would be mate. £3.50 for a cd and a vinyl is pretty ace anyway so no excuse really.

I don't think I've ever had my seven inches signed either.

Done

ace i now have hooligan backing :twisted:

ha ha dont every indie band have a certain element of that?!

Cockney Rejects were started by the ICF was it not?

Can I just say that have seen them live in Brighton couple months back and they are fab.  Got a real buzz about them, lively energetic lads and deserve to do well.  

(See my Facebook for pics those of you who have it)

done

cheers fred fucking skill

Sorry Mex, but Fred's purchase won't count for the charts. He doesn't have a soul.

haha you lost to me at poker!

cheers to everyone who has bought it so far, i will try and find out how its going chart wise today and let you know.

Hey! Surely offering a pint for every single bought is some kind of illegal incentive as far as the charts are concerned. in fact this whole thread is a cynical  exercise in record hyping. I'm shocked. :wink:

Ordered my copy.  8)

I will order it without listening to it, and hope its good. I'm a sucker for vinyl, especially signed!

Ordered two sets...

Done

Just done it now. Good luck Mex!

Any update Mex, is it in the midweek charts yet?

no its not out till 12th november. this is the pre sales push that will get it high up the midweek charts. i reckon we might get about 30 in midweeks and about 50-60 in final end of week charts.

fingers crossed that we can it will certainly cause a stir if we do.

massive thank you to those that have bought it. :beers:

Done. Good luck !

Does anyone think they're shit?  :wink:

My girlfriend bought it. She was telling me the other day how much she likes 'Maths Class', when she realised what label they were on (not because of what label they're on, but, you know).

Any news on how this is selling Mex?

From mex earlier in case he doesnt get on here today:

Quick bump. Nov 12th release is nearly here, its not too late to buy!

thanks fella

Bye!

My signed copy arrived this morning  8)

So did mine. I'm listening to the cd now. Sounds so much better on the hi fi

and mine.

im hoping they are as a big U2 or something so I can flog it.

--single review--

Not really my sort of thing - Yeovil red -TEF

I want to see that on the Life is Easy website please :mrgreen:

that's what my big thing too big to fit through my letter box would be.

Mine too. Sound like feisty little buggers don't they!

I think they'd be pretty mental live

Do bands still thank people on album sleeves?

we want thanks ! we want thanks!

 :D

Cunting postie just left my copy outside. If I pay £1.28 for delivery I at least want them to have the good courtesy to post the fucking thing through my letterbox.

We can get sacked for that.

'Door stepping' is under no circumstances allowed.

The correct procedure is either leave it with a neighbour or in an arranged safe place.

Failing that, leave a 'while you were out' card.

a few years back I had a brand new iPOD delivered and the postie did the same thing.....

I've had postie do that with stuff sent by recorded delivery. Nice of them to forge my signature and just leave it on the step for it to be nicked. If it was I wouldn't have a leg to stand on because it would look like it'd been signed for.

Last week, a parcel was left in my recycling box outside the front door! How the fuck is that safe?!!

I think the problem extends past the Royal Mail.

Case in point the courier who lobbed a box over our 6ft fence and carded us to tell us. Good job there was 'only' books in there and it didn't rain.
----

Anyway, got the record/CD and it's not my thing either. Which should probably be seen as a positive sign given my music tastes.

Good luck Mex/Math's Class. Make it Beetles big then split up PDQ after so in several years time I can pay off my mortgage by selling m signed record cover!

I wish they'd leave mine by my door. Had to mission it to pick it up.

our post man just puts stuff through which ever letterbox he can be arsed -either house number on address +/- 3, or any other house number made up of a combination of any of the digits in the number on the address.

Mind you, I can understand a bit as the deliveries seem to be mostly done about 10pm which I reckon means he's had all day in the pub.  Will probably get off on the sick for being a pissed up dyslexic insomniac.

oh and don't start me on initial city link, if thats the alternative i'm happy with pissed up dyslexic insomniac.

heres the download link

thanks to everyone who has bought it so far, will get a chart position this afternoon!!!!!

Top 100?

Come on mex, let us know how we faired. It's like supporting a football team or something. Go Math somethings.

well thanks to everyone who bought the record.

we have sold out of all 500 vinyl! and we have sold about 600 cds. and god knows how many downloads.

due to a fuck up with a company called calco we did not enter the normal chart, however we reached number 2 in the indie charts which is far fucking cooler 8)

hang on to your vinyl its already fetching £15-20 on ebay,  you should have a number written on it and i hope most of you should be under 100 so should make it even more valuble :D

the band look like they are going to be on next marchs NME tour and i will be releasing a second single then which should get in the top 40.

the band have also had some plays on radio 1, XFM and 6 music.

so everything is lush.

if you want to carry on collecting i have another single out this week by a band called Restlesslist, the single is called Dirty Pint and has been playing on MTV2!!!

how do I get it mate ?

Linky ?????

Excellent Mex, shame about the official charts entry but fuck it, they can sell out later :)

Gay. I've got 160. Not even a prime number.

Glad things are going well Mex.

Top stuff Mex!

My signed vinyl is no. 21  8)

Good try  :wink:

I got number 23.

Ooooh look at us all consecutive!

Ive got 25,I demand to know who has 24

I do actually  8)

I got number 154, and it's very good......................................

I like Track 2 more than Track 1. Can't remember what songs are called. Track 2 reminds me of Chikinki. Which is ace.

I've got no.'s 33 and 34.

I've been sorting through some stuff and found the 7" vinyl today. It's worth fuck all now isn't it? :)

Maths Class are Mex's band?! I never knew, thats cool :)

Anybody want to buy mine?

Think they left his label soon after the release of this.
