i've had to double the price for physical items due to economics. i apologize. the price may come down if more physical units move, but making one cd and shipping it somewhere just isn't profitable, and i don't have startup costs to produce large runs. these are being created on demand, and they're going to be expensive by necessity. i don't want to eliminate the option for physical purchase, but i understand the calendar date - and i have to boost the price. this is a niche item in 2022, and while i'm happy to provide it, i also have to ask you to pay for it.
when compilation discs are added to a physical box set, the price will increase by a flat rate of $10/disc. when period discs are added to a physical box set, the price will increase by the difference, calculated at $10/hr of music.
releases are categorized conceptually, rather than by length. there are 70 minute eps and 65 minute records.
compilation formats (dvd, bd) will be priced at $10/hour of music.
so, a 7.5 hour dvd flac disc will be priced at $75.
i've been unable to derive a flat pricing that makes sense.
types of compilation discs will be:
- dvd flac "box sets" of all singles around an lp. may include free out-takes.
- dvd/bd mp3/flac compilation discs are a running chronological total with no overlap. no extras on these discs.
note that flac is higher quality than mp3. therefore, mp3 discs contain more music. pricing is relative to length, only. be sure to purchase what you WANT.
period discs will be as comprehensive as i can make them, meaning they will include all sound, all notes and all vlogs relevant to the period in question. the pricing will also be absolute. so, if the disc contains 35 hours of official releases, 20 hours of outtakes and 15 hours of vlogs, it will come up to $700. these discs are meant to be thought of as donations to the artist, not as economical market purchases. they will need to ship 30 (edit: was 20, now 30) years after the period closes, to sync properly with the alter-reality.
shipping:
$5 - can
$10 - us/intl
shipping rates are flat to the max, meaning i may gain slightly but i won't lose on shipping. it's otherwise about $3 to make a package. 20% of the sale price goes to transaction fees. this is as cheap as it can be while still being worthwhile to produce. if you buy a very large package (five cds or more), shipping will come down substantially and i'll contact you to talk about ways to make it more fair.
for right now, all discs will have planned limited edition, numbered handmade runs and will be made on demand up to 5000 copies sold, at which point they will be professionally pressed without numbers.
if you want me to send you something twice, you'd better be able to prove it got lost. there will be very few exceptions. sorry.
