CDJay, you really should include a link to be able to pre-order the CD

I'm trying to keep it in this subforum, I figure if I don't put a link to the store or any pricing info I'm at least meeting halfway
I'm guessing interested parties can deduce their way to a result!

Dunno if you saw on FB, but I ran a thing briefly where order 7000 got a complete set of EPs and Freebie CDs to date. You were 7001, but I extended it from 7000-7002 as those three landed so close.
May that be some small evidence of Karma in a real world setting. Thanks for the support, all!

What if one of us posted the link, surely that's fine?

This is the most important UK Hardcore compilation album since Bonkers 8; if this floats then there's more, if it doesn't that's the end of the road for this format in genre.

Are you saying you need to sell out within the next 6 months or so? Is that a good indicator of it's popularity, or would 80% sold over 12 months still be acceptable?
Are you allowed to disclose how many copies have been pressed, just to give us some idea?

If I was more confident about the entire scene getting behind it, I'd shoot for 1000 again. As it is, we're edging towards 750. I don't *really* want to sell out of stock,at all, but perhaps it is a better model, going forward, to sell out of physical in the sort of timeframe you noted, and have it available digitally from that point. We're still playing with that sort of thing.
It's not exactly a trade secret, at this point, enough people have had tracks on HU6 who will know how many were sold . I will note this is a fraction of what we did on HU4/Presents 2010 and an expected trade off of moving towards a direct sale model. Bizarrely, it's actually a more profitable model on a per track basis, even with half the units sold. The tragedy is that economies of scale dictate that if we could do even 1500, the per track earnings become *really* good. We're back to the wider scene getting behind it, there, unfortunately.
Who knows, maybe this is (finally) the moment? If it actually gets traction, we can always turn around a repress in a fortnight......

It'll be interesting to see who involved in this project will help promote the album, even in pre-order status, and who doesn't. That really should go a long way!
But I reckon it'll be the same culprits who don't do their part unless we bitch about it on their FB page. If they couldn't even bother to promote their own albums during pre-order status, I don't have a lot of hope for them this time around.

Surely everyone can see the absurdity here?
It's a challenge to find 750 people willing to pay for the only compilation in "happy" hardcore.
750 people.
WORLDWIDE.

You're right, let's presume a moderate victory. 1000 it is.
