how many copies are left? Several hundred How is this coming along? Still hundreds of CDs left? I would have thought Lonely Twin's release would have bumped sales of Oh, Ramona.

Sales have increased but we're talking about by 10s of copies, not hundreds. Sad but true. Most folks just don't buy music. Or maybe it's just Graveface music.
Either way, I have this idea to do a Kickstarter every few months based on voting by the fans - what record would you like to see pressed for the first time or brought back into print. Oh, Ramona would be perfect for that. So if it gets funded it will happen and if not, no skin off my back as I couldn't afford it alone anyways.
Graveface Vault Series or some shit.

I think most people just don't buy cds. I don't anyways.
The Vault Series sounds like a great idea. Kickstarter is abused by some labels, but this is the kind of thing it's perfect for.
Any idea how the Kickstarter campaigns would affect the Record Club? By that I mean would the RC still be getting exclusive colors, numbering, etc. when these are sometimes the kind of incentives offered for backing a project on Kickstarter.

I would say sticking with an exclusive Record Club color (Kickstarter and retail would be one and the same) and/or just let RC'ers know they can opt out of receiving it towards their RC 10 pack.
Not really sure how else. Ideas?

That sounds great to me. I only asked because the exclusive color for the Molina 10" is for the Kickstarter backers, which makes sense since the book/10" aren't a part of the RC.

So how's this going? I've also been waiting for this on vinyl since it came out, and vaguely remember one of the original release posts saying it was going to be pressed at some point...the Kickstarter idea is kickass, apparently Hospital Ships got 178% funding for a tour project last year! I also agree that folks not buying cd's isn't an indication that they won't buy vinyl. I know a number of people like myself who will pay for the experience of vinyl, but not for a cd that they'll wind up ripping onto their computer. Though I suppose if you're a label you can probably do more than speculate about those sorts of trends...still, I'd love to see this happen.
