hey steffmo-
when can we expect to see this on itunes?
-
Newberry Comics took some. they should have it.
-
how about Newbury Comics they are pretty big in RI and MA. i haven\'t had a chance to check and see if the store down the street from me has it but i gave my copy to a buddy of mine last night so i have to go out and get another copy and i\'ll check there first.
-
He can definitely get it. A few of the individual stores have ordered, and if they don\'t have it having them order it will help get a larger order from the chain. We usually ship 4 0r 5 hundred just to Transworld and they allocate them to stores where we have a history of selling.
Anyway....it is in the system and they caqn get it.
Bullmoose, Amoeba, Newberry Comics and several others have stock. We are all over Transworld, but they are a big bear to move.
-
manager in FYe told me he didnt even think he could get it, but was trying cause he wanted it too.
-
Distribution is currently handled by Selectohits in Memphis. they are a pretty good mid company. Off course, what everyone doesn\'t realize is that just having distro and being available doesn\'t mean much of anything anymore. The distributors sales force has to convince the chains to take in the record without hitting us with tooo ridiculous a marketing charge.
Yes...these days to get into store we sometimes have to PAY because there are way too many CDs out and not enough space for stores to display. Its just SO much fun.
We hope to move to a bigger distributor early next year who might give us more leverage. But that is a work in progress.
Anyway, our Transword rep for Real Radio...had a lot of clout. The current guy isn\'t quite as good, plus as Transworld gets more powerful, they get more dickheaded for small operarions like us.
Transworld is...Strawberries, FYe, Camelot, and several ther chains. They have 2000 or so stores.
Best Buy will NOT have the record at this point because they want a LOT of money, and it doesn\'t guarantee sales.
-
vic, do you take care of distribution or do you guys outsource distro?
-
Transworld chain has not ordered yet....but they can order it per store. Hopefully they will be ordering next week, but their acquisition of Tower has messed them up.
I\'ll get a list of who has order up here as soon as I can complile it.
-
Oh, you\'re just spaced out. That explains many things!!
-
i just spaced on buying it aqt the show, it was my intent to though.
That\'s what I thought!!!
-
i think i even said something to the pack of people we were walking in.....
and i have not been the first person asking for the album in a majority of the stores in which i went to.....
-
colin...any reason you did not buy it at the CD Release Party
on Friday? just wonderin\'.
cause by the time i realized hadnt, i was already 3 blocks away from the venue walking to my truck to sit on 95 for hours because of a jackknifed tractortrailer.
but yeah, i just spaced on buying it aqt the show, it was my intent to though.
i prolly would have forgotten if i didn\'t hear Timmy pedaling "Moxie Epoxy. buy here, buy it now"

if you click on Moxie Epoxy, amazon sellers have them as low as $10.72.
9 used & new available from $10.72
does that seem really weird to anyone else....
who are these sellers and why are they losing 5 dollars selling the cd that came out two days ago??
personally i plan to pick up my copy(s) on friday at the iron horse gig
that\'s why WCCC doesn\'t have a copy... they sell promo cd\'s on ebay

I have not checked because I got it at the release, but I was able to get both real radio and bona fide at the strawberries on rt 10 in southington right off the shelf pretty close to the release date.

$12.61 on Overstock.com here (http://www.kulist.com/myadd.php?s=64417845&v=7&i=16375506002144&q=5399909541926886) with $1.40 shipping= $14.01 to your door
-
I just got a copy on eBay stores for $17 shipped. You\'ll have to go to the stores section and type it in. It won\'t come up on a general eBay search. The seller\'s in Florida if your wondering about shipping location.
-
maybe he\'s cheap
It would have saved him $1.98 plus tax to buy it at the show....I doubt he\'s cheap!!!

I used to see Real Radio at all times in all the Tower Records locations in San Francisco. I would buy the one copy in the store (for gifting purposes) and it would be replaced upon the next visit.
Perhaps Moxie hasn\'t made it to the stores yet?
-
So how exactly does this process work? After a CD is released are a certain amount sent to stores around the country or is it the stores obligation to order the CD? If Moxie Epoxy isn\'t on the shelves are they all just sitting around in boxes somewhere?

i know far less successful bands that have way better distribution than the breakfast do.
:doh::sigh::hscratch::sadban:
-
i just checked itunes and came up empty.....
really? i could have sworn there was an announcement on here recently about the breakfast finally getting up on itunes.. :confused:
edit: oh nevermind.. that was fuzebox..
:no: :no: :confused: :shrug: :sigh:

right. I guess I haven\'t really been paying attention to their tour dates lately.
wouldn\'t matter anyways.

I guess I won\'t be buying this album at any local stores nearby me, although I haven\'t checked anywhere yet I doubt any stores have them. GUess I will have to get my credit card renewed so I can order it off amazon
or you can just pick it up next week when they are right around the corner from you :rolleyes:

ask them to order it?
-
i just checked itunes and came up empty.....
i really wanna buy the album and get the artwork too, not just d/l it. i was just very suprised that it was in not one store in the area.
-
its not like i am across the country here. i am like 120miles from the breakfast homebase.
doesn\'t matter unless your in New Haven, I\'m in Danbury CT and I\'m sure I could go to every single record store in the city and not find a single copy of it, well Danbury does suck but......
-
did you try itunes?
-

Nationwide means you can go to certain stores and order it, most stores won\'t be carrying it right off the cuff.

:newbie:

While I personally think this album could easily sell millions of copies, let\'s not forget that the Breakfast is not quite mainstream yet. Sure, they\'ve played with numerous & largely recognizable bands, & they\'ve played countless festivals, and won the Jammy\'s, among other great feats. However, they probably need to be able to guarantee a large record store chain (ie Strawberries, Best Buy, etc.) that they will sell a certain # of albums. I don\'t think tB is ready to make promises that are so large they won\'t be able to keep them. (imho)
-
in the past, "available nation wide" means that amazon has it and that 1 out of every 20 strawberries has it, but not the week it comes out.
-
Your wookiness offended them and they didn\'t want to help you, that is all Collin that is all...
-
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #271,422 in Music
-
awesome.
amazon\'s got it.
-
nope.
not ringin a bell..
-
*shakes head*
-
what exactly is this moxie epoxy you speak of??
-
yeah, so i went to just about everywhere i could think of between yesterday and today and have not seen 1 single copy of it in any store. i asked at the counter in every store as well. some said they didnt think they could even get it.(icluding the Manager at FYE). I went to CD World, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, a few small places around town, 2 FYE\'s, Tower Records, and one i am forgetting right now. about to head out to my 2nd Best Buy and 3rd FYE.
my question to anyone who can answer this is, Where the heck do i buy this album if it was supposed to be in stores yesterday?
FYE had tons of smaller "jam"bands int hier collection. Pgroove, YMSB, TLG, etc...
any help is appriciated.
