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.

http://www.recordstore.co.uk/home.jsp?wherefrom=productdetail.jsp?productPK=unittest-EWQqFUPUTeDlkTNyqN3IEb-13

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.

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.

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.

Title: begging thread

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

Post by: Lumps on Monday, October 29, 2007, 09:11:08
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:

Title: begging thread
Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Tuesday, October 30, 2007, 21:12:20
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:

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.

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.

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!

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.

Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Thursday, November 22, 2007, 21:54:44
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!!!
