Frontiers - too many releases?

I never knew that people bought albums based on their label, has it always been that way with collectors?

 

Music collectors are a varied bunch, and their collecting preferences depend on their tastes, their wallets, and their level of O.C.D. :D

 

Some guys will buy any thing a particular musician plays/sings on, or anything recorded at a certain studio, during a particular year, or everything a certain label puts out.

 

And then there are the vinyl collectors/audiophiles, who are on a whole 'nother level. Visit any forum dedicated to vinyl collecting and you'll see dudes who have purchased 20 different pressings of the same record, looking for the best "sounding" version. ("Which is the best copy of the self titled Catz Ass debut? Is it the Guatemalan vinyl with the green label or the Ecuadorian second press with the white label?")

 

... we're all insane! :D

 

 

Hahah, I love insanity! :taz:

 

I'm driven by the hunt and my pocket book.

 

I never buy new or direct from a label. Its all about the scrounge at the pawn shop, book store, yard sale and I will buy most everything if the price is right and it looks cool! Now I will go direct to a band I like and get a newer release from them.

I used to try to buy brand new from record stores to support them but must admit I've started going more down the download route now as I just don't have space to store hard copies. There are quite a few 2nd hand items sneaking into my collection recently though too

But they do have variety.

 

Just recently we've had Eclipse, One Desire and Harem......

 

And this month they release Ferrymen and Jorn which I won't touch with a barge pole but I know full well that others will love.

 

Well done I say

It's coincidental reading this thread as it was only yesterday I was asking my husband how he discovers bands & decides to buy their music. I'm not sure how I discover those that I like either. Thinking about it, it's probably from hearing them on the radio, sampler CDs or recommendations from others. Certainly I've bought some recently after listening to tracks or bands who get thumbs up from members on this site

 

I never used to pay attention to labels at all back in the day...But these days there aren't many labels putting out the music I seem to like. It seems like the majority are from Fontiers or Sony/Gain and the rest or just smaller or independent labels.

 

And with as much good stuff as Frontiers is putting out, they've got my attention now with anything they release. That's not to say I'll buy everything...But I'll at least give it a listen.

    • Decent song but a bit too "Eurovision" for me. Maybe it'll grow on me.
