Favorite Label

[Fathom Zero]

Ed Banger Records brings the noise.

prawn song or barking pumpkin records

[Esuohlim]

Not Rykodisc that's for damn sure

[Emu]

What's wrong with Rykodisc? :(

[WhiteRat]

Hypnotize Minds is tops.

[Dixie]

I like the labels on the back of jelly bean packages.

[executioneer]

prime time or crample-o stow records maybe

What's wrong with Rykodisc? :(

It may or may not be Rykodisc's fault, but a lot of their stuff is overpriced. It was nice of them to reissue all the Zappa albums, but a two-disc copy of The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life shouldn't cost 36 bucks (luckily though it's way cheaper used on Amazon). Also, Bill Hicks albums seem to cost more than other comedy albums too. :\

Also, and this may be a coincidence, the only CD cases I've ever accidentally broken were those green Rykodisc ones >:

[Emu]

They have those green cases trademarked, did you know that :(

For good music... temporary residence, Sanctuary, Rhino, and to an extent, Southern Lord.

For good prices.....Touch and Go, Temporary Residence

For good shipping prices.....Inoxia. That's the only one that comes to mind.

I really like Warp as an interesting and innovative label. They're like Factory records were but with enough business savvy to not bleed money out of their arse. Ed Banger is like the opposite. They've got a formula and they're gonna make as much money as they can from it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great formula - but its a total hype machine, too.

I haven't bought music in a loooong time but I used to swear by Alternative Tentacles (for price, variety and decent mailorder, which I used before the Internet.) and Touch and Go. SST was pretty good too. Nowadays, Ipecac seems decent.
