Mr. Al Storm, please. PLEASE. A lossless digital release or cd.
So many good songs. So much epicness. But me and other poor people have no vinyl setup.
As a Bang! obsessive, I need that remix in particular. PLEASE.

No need to say anymore.
Haven?t made a full decision on digital yet, hence no direct promises, they will in some form though just want to see how the vinyl projects actually work numbers wise without it as they will probably be more frequent if it works leaving bigger bundle opportunities and way more fun stuff for us to all do :)
I do appreciate vinyl isn?t everyone?s thing.. but for me, physical product is what keeps me interested in releases, and keeps the label with a strong backbone but to be fair we release 4+ releases a month digitally so we do get a good balance I think!

Vinyl is an inaccessible format for me but not only that I hate the sound. However I would buy it if you gave out digital copies with it.
It's why I brought the first fractured minds vinyl because it had the digital copy. However that was then changed after purchase and so was the tracklist and I had to cancel which was an ordeal inn it's self. Hardcore Underground wouldn't cancel it. So I went through PayPal. Hardcore Underground lied to PayPal and claimed to of sent it and used a different order and tracking number to say they had delivered. I spend 2 hours on the phone with Pay Pal proving they were lying.
I don't know why you would choose to not give out a digital copy as well because that site does support it. You only hurt your own sales as people like me would buy it for the digital.
Why cut off a large part of your audience?
I used to love physical media. However the many MANY issues I have had (Still waiting on the Anthologies...) have put me off entirely. Plus leaning more on screen reader use mean I am not as reliant on CDs as I once was.
Just disappointed. Really want Surrender (Gammer Remix) Been waiting half a decade. Surely it's the near future now. 
Yeah I hear that mate, its very likely just want to make the decision how its attached and timescales etc, there will be without doubt. Due to an offer at the QRATES site we rushed through the ideas, before a deadline that?s why the track list is hazy, and artwork is rough.
At the moment it looks like download cards inside the vinyl with a code is the best way and fairest, but like you said you had some bad issues with previous orders which I can only apologise for but that is all beyond my control, and I don?t understand how you don?t have the anthologies they have had stock for over a month? Have you chased them?
So to sum it up yes it will have digital attached, probably inside the finished package :-)

If flac/wav is included I will purchase as well. Can we get confirmation on that?
I've been chasing HU for months over a massive amount of unshipped material. I've given up on them.
Also a shame we can't bundle the two...

OK so I?ve contacted QRATES and integrated the download card system, so yeah there will be digital inside the vinyl package, lossless .. and depending on the space they give me probably some bonus stuff as well if i can find anything cool :-)
So answer is now yes :)
With regards to the HU stuff that?s out of my hands, i have all my stock back now and they just sell some digitals, as we have moved to SRD and direct sale model (with the odd project on QRATES etc)

More crowdfunded stuff will come but what?
Anything were doing badly? :D
Just interested to see really, might help with the folders and folders of music I?ve got sat here x

Will you still be doing the anthologies in-house? Or is that finished with now?
If you could keep that going with the CD releases that would be awesome, to slowly build up the older material rather than what HU was doing, big buck time limited deals for full collections really works for me!

What is actually wrong with tracks, what ones i probably have multiple recordings may have better ones, some of them might just be my abysmal early mix downs and productions haha

I had sent a list of tracks through the private message system here, if you remember my "Tracks from the Retro Bundle" message sent around 2019/10/11 :)
But in the end it was just a joke comment from me, you did already reply why some of the tracks were not up to snuff

Really, you lot at 24/7 have been pretty spot on at most just getting the stuff out there, and in multiple formats with edits for the causal crowds.
quote: More crowdfunded stuff will come but what?
Lets see how this two turn out before suggesting further things: We all know CD pressing is very accessible but vinyl still has their MOQs with deposits to meet before they even send off test pressings. These crowdfunded projects had strong starts, but they're still not done, so I wouldnt jump to conclusions just yet...
quote: Anything were doing badly? :D
The only thing I can really gripe about is release scheduling, as it seems more often than not the music keeps showing up on BandCamp some time after it's been available literally everywhere else. I try my best due diligence to avoid the inevitable double buys, but if I have a choice I'd rather support you guys on a more fair 70/30 platform, especially since they give a choice on format, lossless included.

Yeah some fair points, the company seem pretty reputable and they handle it all, and from what I?ve heard pretty well, and the release scheduling is largely down to my home situation, to cut short my partner had the virus at one point and I was looking after her (also pregnant) and 4 kids by myself, that while moving house and numerous other world changing setbacks haha 😂.. thankfully that?s sorted and you?ll start to see band camp updated ahead of beatport etc, and a fresh new merchandise and 24/7 store in the next few weeks
There will be an extra crowdfunded vinyl project for 95-99 authentic sounding stuff running alongside.. but as you said neither have completed yet and might not, but we are using these to gage wether to do them more or stick to alternatives, and worst case they don?t work and we move on, if they do work we have lots of cool projects we can look at :-)
