asphyx eingepackt.

abgesehen von den 100er CC's + das bundle, scheint es diesmal etwas länger zu dauern bis alles sold out ist.

etwas überraschend.

Naja. Die meisten Corpse waren fix weg. Auch die 180er. Hat vielleicht fünf Minuten gedauert. Du darfst nicht vergessen, dass es bei Asphyx oder Bloodbath auch schon die vierte Variante war, die online ging. Mittlerweie dürfte jeder, der gesucht hat, hier sein Exemplar bekommen haben.
 
NESI hat auf Facebook interessante Einblicke in die Arbeit des Labels bzw. Produktionsdetails veröffentlicht. Wer das liest, kann die Preise absolut nachvollziehen. Neue Master, spezielles Cutting, das extra in Deutschland angefrertigt wird, höchste Papierqualität aus Italien.
Wenn man bedenkt, dass pro Pressung Label und Band 20 Freiexmplare bekommen, drückt das die verfügbaren Exemplare einer Auflage auch um acht bis zehn Prozent. Dann wird er vermutlich noch ne Handvoll LPs pro Version für sich und Freunde / Bekannte / Unterstützer zurückhalten. Vielleicht gingen von den 100er CC-Pressungen nur 85 bis 90 in den freien Verkauf.
Aber lest selbst:

"3. The price doubt.
For the first time I want to do a math publicly for transparency
Conclusion ahead. NESI vinyls are expensive. But is not that LV/channel kind with a lot of brand premium
Details below
3.1 master
For every title we will send to our engineer to check if a remaster is required. If needed. That will be a big cost considering the small pressing quality. An extreme example is: I paid 1000€ per album for COB and nightwish for remastering in need of a remaster based on the original tape. It cost a lot of time for the engineer to locate every tape but the pressing quantity is only 300 & 500 copies.
3.2 cutting
I used to cut inside the plant but the sound quality is not ideal. After several trials and now we use SST cutting only. It’s imported from Germany every time. To meet the lacquar expired time we will need UPS priority packet to ship and make sure it landed in the plant within 5 days. And it’s a huge cost for that shipping and tax. But I think worth it. I.e 1st BAB press back to 2018 I used plant cutting and resulted in many people complaints abt the sound quality and IGD. Now the new pressing we use SST cutting and I think the sound improved a lot.
Watching through the industry. Many people mistakenly thinking the master is everything. But actually the cutting makes also huge part for the sound. MOFI and abbey road is famous just because their cutting. They use analogue tapes to cut. The mastering job is actually done along with their cutting process. A good cutting engineer with 30+ career is valuable in this world. They started working from that tape cutting age and know every specific detail when doing the job. Carefully handle every second to maximize the sound quality. That’s the thing we need to storage the specific music for decades.
3.3 pressing
Since all wax materials are imported from Europe. So my plant’s pressing cost is like 20-30% more than European based plants. (The import tax is also not cheap)
The splatter vinyl will have 15-20% more to black vinyl.
Pure color vinyl cost 20-30% more to black vinyl
Swirl vinyl cost 30-50% more to black vinyl.
3.4 printings
All my paper is imported from Italy. The paper is far far more expensive than the normal coated one. And I am probably the only customer in China using this paper. The customization requires me to purchase a full container of paper. Image that I rent a 300 square warehouse (2.5k€ a month) and 50 square is used for storage the paper?!?
As many know I use my own printing factory and is 40km far away from my house. Each batch of printings I have to work like at least 10-15 days and which means 800-1000 km driving needed. Calculate the gas I need....
I bought a ford transit last year for the job and drive for pick up vinyls (plant is 130km far) and printings and now is nearly 26000 km against 13 months.
Anyway. If you ask GZ media to provide a quote you will see the vinyl product is really not an expensive thing. They provide a one stop solution. Simply send the digital files to them and wait for an arrival. They even have their own printing machine (an industrial high speed printing machine is like 1-2 million € no kidding!)
But if you want those vinyls are excellent in every aspect. You will have to devote yourself into it. One simple instruction like “hi plant. I need a high quality product” won’t work~
3.5 royalties
To get titles like CC. DT and all those top bands. A good royalties/advances must be offered. And I will provide around 20 copies free samplers to the band and original label. Free shipping. 20 copies is nothing for a 1000 based releases. But it is a small pain for a pressing run of 300-500."
