    Another thing to consider is that, since the sales-tracking changes of Luminate on Jan. 1, nearly all of the recorded sales are at big retailers such as Target and Wal-Mart. The Indie Record stores, for now, are vastly under-represented in the tally. 

    That's interesting, did not know that.
    Do you have any more info / articles on that?
    Check out this State of Love and Trust Podcast episode with Matt Vaughn from Easy Street Records.

    Also, just wanna say that when the CD business is "gone" and you charge 51 dollars in Sweden for the LP from a 35 year old band you are not going to get others than the JAMILY to buy the album.

    51 dollars is a Rubicon crossed to have someone pick up the album because Dark Matter was a great single or just to get someone to pick it up because it's a new PJ album on the shelf while their strolling through the store. Even with them liking PJ and remembering an album with an avocado on it that they enjoyed.

    And I imagine pushing 15-20 variants on the little JAMILY POND is only gonna take you so far (and the album is still a lot of dollars in Sweden also for the Jamily). 
    I think that's what hurt Gigaton as well. Almost $40 for the vinyl over here. They need to do a deal with Target where they sell it for 19 99
    It's not selling at target. It's the packaging and double vinyl that drives the cost up. You can get 10 and Yield on Amazon for $20 and $25. Simple packaging, single record.
    Dark Matter is available at Target in CD and LP formats. The CD was $17.99; the LP was $39.99. Ten and Yield are catalog albums. Also, isn't Dark Matter a single LP? I haven't opened mine yet, but I have read people complaining about the sound because Side B has 26 or 28 minutes of music on it.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
