Episodes on Vinyl

[Eviebae]

So, vinyl is regaining a niche in the music industry--because it has a greater range of sound. Musicians have been doing special pressings and Jack Black has a label for vinyl artists. Anywho, Tell 'em Steve Dave did a podcast and had it pressed in vinyl--so basically a record of a podcast. It was successful and I got to thinking...Since the sound is so incredible in WA and so important to a lot of us--why not press an album? I don't think the full series would be feasible, but maybe a short story?

How long an audio can you record on vinyl? I seem to recall albums running 30 to 45 minutes, so maybe two chapters per disk?

Get an LP with We're Alive's audio quality and it would work out to be even less I think, especially when you consider the newer chapters are all longer than 20mins each I don't remember seeing very many movies on vinyl with sound FX . BUT in case of zombie apocalypse it would also double as a bludgeoning device!

Vinyl + Zombies = Shaun of the Dead

Ed: 'Purple Rain'?
Shaun: No.
Ed: 'Sign o' the Times'?
Shaun: Definitely not.
Ed: The 'Batman' soundtrack?
Shaun: Throw it.
Ed: 'Dire Straits'?
Shaun: Throw it.
Ed: Ooh, 'Stone Roses'.
Shaun: Um, No.
Ed: 'Second Coming'.
Shaun: I like it!
Ed: Ahhh! 'Sade'.
Shaun: Yeah, but that's Liz's!
Ed: Yeah, but she did dump you.
Shaun: Oh!

Art should never be used as a bludgeoning device!...Except maybe in a gallery setting

Laser sharpened vinyl--the connoisseur's choice

I love the idea of a limited W.A. pressing. Maybe on a red disc? It would be really cool to do something like that for the final chapter! Awesome idea!

When We're Alive goes to vinyl, can someone make a mp3 of it and put it in iTunes?

i like the short story idea, they find a journal and a body and here what this guy went through as a side story. i would totally buy that (along with a record player). it would be awesome to see a little side story that has no relevance to anything, but is worth listening to in it's own rights.

I glanced at a couple of websites that do pressings. Whoa, there are lots of options and a wide range of pricing. It's not so expensive per record, but you have minimum order amounts. For instance, one wants $879 for 100--that's less than $1 ea (for bare basics). Another wants a run of 500 before they'll do colored vinyl. So, for sure it would be a Kickstarter project. I think you'd end up with a collectors item though. I'm thinking that getting this together could be done by us fans for Kc if he's interested in it.
What do you think?
Do you think we should do a poll to see if anyone would be interested or check with Kc first?
