When was their last release, out of curiosity? Jeez you'd be a brave man or woman to purchase a record label in 2018 (or anytime beyond).

Dunno, but if you go to RetrospectRecords.com, the front page is still advertising their "Rockfest" concert from 2015 (!), so it would seem that they've been gathering dust for a while.

Sam must have unearthed every unreleased collection of tunes out there. Give it a few decades of collecting dust, and you could literally unearth them all over again.

That long? Wow. Sounds about right, though.

Hard to see 100,00 dollars in value there but know knows. 

 I really hope our music doesn't just disappear. Sam might have some communication issues but at least the got music out there. He ,Rock Candy and a few others should be applauded for that.

I'd take it off his hands for $100.

Only  "value" is in the CD's as the other stuff is worthless.

These days anyone can get a webpage and find a band or two to press some cd's.

If there was some mega vault of demo's or masters then I might go $150...

No clue, just one last Retrospect dig.

 

I read my comments about RR from 12 years ago last night and it seems like a lifetime ago....I forget why I wrote any of them.

Haha! Yea, it's not like their roster was loaded with mega-stars that would make it worth the $100K asking price, especially in this day and age. 

It's funny, even after all the years of drama surrounding this label that I've witnessed in my time on this forum, I actually only own one Retrospect release -- "Look Out For the Night" by Axtion.

....and y'know what? It isn't even that good :rofl2:

    • I'm sure you remember as I do the "Black and White Minstrel Show". These days it's incredible to think that this was considered wholesome family viewing at the time.  There's absolutely no way something like this would fly today.
