Probably would be too expensive to get pressed and risks or warping in mail would probably be high...But man something like Dragons of Eden, or Chicken Noodles would be so nice to hear on vinyl.
I just picked up Chinese Democracy on vinyl to at least have something with Bucket on LP.
I was actually going to press "The Dragons of Eden" on vinyl along with the CD. But pressing on 1000 records was prohibitive. The record would have had to have been priced around $20.00 and shipping would have been expensive as well.
And even then it wouldn\'t recover its costs. We often don\'t sell enough CDs to cover costs so the added vinyl is really tough.
Both Chicken Noodles and Dragons unfortunately are probably not good candidates because of the limited interest in them. But there maybe something that is. I would be curious how many would be interested in vinyl.
you\'re right. it would depend on the recording, but i would be.
Travis id buy almost all of buckets and your stuff on vinyl!
like emac or bucketheadland 2 hell ya and noodles 1 and 2 and dragon!
i like the big LP pictures!!!
and now i gotta get a turntable so i can bust out my old lps and chinese democracy!
sorry to hear sales arnt so good but ive bought ALOT of stuff here you rule Travis!!

Yea, I can imagine the prices being high for pressings. To have something like Dragons on vinyl though would be amazing. Maybe a split LP or 45 even could work in helping prices, I dunno. I would get excited over a vinyl release though. It really does seem to be making a big comeback. I rarely buy CDs when I know a LP is also being pressed.
I would think $20.00 is more than reasonable. I would be willing to pay more.
I would buy vinyl for sure.
I would definately go for dragons on vinyl, travis ;D
I\'d pick up a vinyl release, twenty bucks seems very reasonable. Anything would be great, but that Crime Slunk Scene artwork would be awesome on a vinyl sleeve ;D
I haven\'t bought Dragons of Eden yet, but from what I understood with the samples, it has a vintage feeling and it would be great to have it on vinyl. I would buy it (either with or without the CD).
Anyway, the CD is in my list of december purchases.
"The Dragons of Eden" is a great album. I\'m no expert on vinyl, but I get the feeling that it would be pretty cool.
For me, when I\'m trying to make a decision whether or not to do something, I always try to think ahead to...will I regret not doing this later. I definately feel it\'s better to regret something you did than something you didn\'t do. Just throwing that out there.
I\'d buy at least one copy. If it\'s a record I really like another one for testing turntables at work. My "Dark Side" gets old and "Slaughterhouse" or "Skinpiles" are too expansive to destroy them on testing. "Dragons" REALLY would be fine but also Thanatopsis, "Population Override" and so on. Everything with a real band and real good sound.
I would buy a vinyl copy of the Elephant Man\'s Alarm Clock or Population Override in a heartbeat.
I\'m down with the vinyl. Bring it on. 12" x 12" BH artwork would look awesome. Besides listening to the analog splendor that is vinyl, it would look great hanging on the wall too.
yeah, i\'d be all up for vinyl!!
vinyl all the way!!!!
i\'d actually like to see any of buckets cds in vinyl but mainly DOE, EMAC, KNH, or maybe even some DCK
so yeah i think i would buy one. ;)
travis basically do what you wanna do i wouldn\'t buy too much vinyl if your sales are down since people hardly even buy cd\'s or legal downloads any more.
:\'(
I just bought a record player, and I have been buying vinyl like crazy, so if there was ever a bucket release on vinyl, I would definitely buy it.
just thinking of Crime Slunk Scene, Peppers Ghost, and Population Override on vinyl makes want to steal an ATM and buy them
i would love to have those on vinyl and the rest of Buckethead discography also (hahaha) but i dont have money.
maybe Travis, you should take this to another level and start a research or a pre-pre order to know who many would buy something like that
You can count me in...I\'d buy every release on vinyl in addition to the CD versions and I\'d be more than happy to take part in a pre-order.
i\'d buy one as a gift for my bro cause he\'s really into records!
I\'d buy any Buckethead on vinyl....
I definitely think a pre-preorder would be a good idea. It couldn\'t hurt.

I agree with a pre-preorder system.

I still have my Technics turntable SL1200 that I bought in Germany in 1978. with 2 NEW Shure V15 cartridges I picked up before the CD craze started. One still new in box a Pickering audiophile. The turntable is still like new after all these years. No belts. Servo drive.Haven\'t used that steros setup in like 10 years now. GOt married and had kid\'s.Have 200 gram audiophile copys of Pink Floyd, complete Jimi Hendrix collection on vinyl, Nash the Slash on Vinyl. AHir bands form the 70 and 80s. Got a collection of vinyl that I started back in the early 70\'s. Going to the record store on Sat. morning to by records 45\'s and LP\'s is what we used to do back in those days.
So yes. I would pre-preorder.
Travis, have you thought of making a limited vinyl only release, similar to cyborg slunks or blueprints? Maybe a collection of songs best for vinyl with an all wite album cover personalized by buckethead?
I\'d pay a $100 for one of those or whatever it took to recover the cost.
Still any chance of this happening, or a pre-order sort of deal to see how it would work out?
Ah, vinyl. I too still have tons of great original albums in mint shape, even some of those good old half-speed masters. They were $20 dollars in the early \'80s.
I would buy any vinyl with Buckethead on.
Hey Travis, why don\'t you go ahead and press some 7".
That is not very expensive. I\'ve done several with my music over the years.
And while you\'re at it, make it a picture disc.
Seeing what\'s get pressed on vinyl these days I\'d think Bucket should be able to sell a few... Perhaps try first with a release with somebody famous. :)
I\'m surprised it so hard to cover the costs, I\'d think Buckethead got at least a little famous. And if someone like Spectre (Wordsound) can sell vinyl for 15 bucks Buckethead should be able to do it. Then again, there\'s \'fans\' buying cd\'s for \'collectors prices\' on eBay while they\'re still available here. (Sidenote: perhaps start an eBay shop, Travis?)
I\'d be buying vinyl, but not for collectors prices. 20 bucks including shipping is reasonable (and I would always order at least 2 items to save on shipping ;) ).
I\'d rather spend on vinyl than on mp3 or cdr, that\'s for sure.
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE
BUT IF YOU SURVEY WHAT ALBUM PEOPLE WOULD PREFER TO RE BUY ON LP AND GET PEOPLE TO PRE PAY.
I KNOW THAT I WOULDN\'T MIND PRE PAYING 20 30 BUCKS FOR BUCKETHEAD ON VINAL AND HAVE A MINIMUM AMOUT TO PRE PAY FOR IT TO BE DONE AND LIKE SIGN ALL THE PRE ORDERS SO NO ONE WOULD CARE PAYING A LITTLE MORE/AND MAYBE HAVE LIKE A BACK OUT PLAN IN CASE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE PRE PAY/LIKE MYBE CHARGE 35 FOR A PRE PAY SIGN LP AND HAVE IT DEFINED THAT IF THE MINIMUM DOESN\'T GET REACHED THEN YOU COULD REIMBURST FOR IT OR JUST ASK WHAT TWO CDS THEY WOULD LIKE OF HIS AND MAYBE SIGN EM OR SOMETHING AND SEND EM OUT
I THINK THE ONLY THING YOU COULD LOOSE IS YOU TIME.IDK JUST A THOUGHT

You might want to get the Caps Lock key unstuck if you want people to even bother reading your posts buddy
OK
QuoteOK
Ha
I don\'t know how this idea has progressed since it was first brought up, but I do like this idea and add me to the list of buyers. My record player hasn\'t made noise in quite some time and needs some good tunes. I do believe, though, that if there was new material released on vinyl then that would get more people buying. $20 not too bad either, I see records going for near and over $50 at some shops here.
I would buy ANY Buckethead on vinyl.
I think his mellower albums might translate better to vinyl.
EMAC or the new one SOTP would also be great...or CCOH!!!
Travis, which Buckethead cd has sold the best thru TDRS?
pre-pre order should def be held, i personally know quite a few people who would buy population override as well as dragons of eden on vinyl as soon as it dropped. you should take a poll on how well certain albums would sell, including the cost you would want for each with the poll to ensure buyers (i would easily pay $50 for either of the albums stated above on vinyl)
not to mention i would def buy two of each, keeping one copy as a collectors item and the other for listening lol

Same here.
Hey Travis
I would deffo buy vinyl im a big collector of vinyl and of buck
any chance you could re-press KFC Skin Piles ???
or is there no chance due to the amount of samples and stuff??
Sorry to be a bolt in the neck, but...
Wouldn\'t putting any of Buckethead\'s recent material on vinyl cause the quality to be lower? If not that, it wouldn\'t make it any better...
From my understanding, much of the older material on vinyl sounds better that way because they weren\'t digital recordings. They were analog.
If you put digital recordings on a device that\'s not totally meant for them, wouldn\'t that compromise the quality a bit? A CD is more of a digital format, that would make a little more sense...
I\'m not sure if anyone else has commented like this, to be honest I haven\'t checked through the entirety of the thread.
THAT DOESN\'T MAKE A LICK OF SENCE I HAVE NEW ALBUMS THAT CAME OUT IN THE PAST 1-3 YEARS AND THEY WERE DIGTAL RECORDINGS THAT YOU CAN BUY ANYWHERE ON CD//BUT THE VINAL SOUNDS WAY F@#KING BETTER/I GOT THE NEWEST KORN ON VINAL AND IT SOUNDS F#@KING GREAT
SO FYI
Would you mind buying a new keyboard? Thanks!
My bad at work in the program i use everything has to be in caps so i forget all the time,so yeah i post on TDRS forum at work I\'m a bad employe
I also would love anything on vinyl ;D
Travis, I test turntables at work, I need them - urgently! ;D
dude what if they just put xtra tracks that ended up on imports,re-releases,and non release\'s on 45\'s that would be fn tit\'s or just all that shit on one 12in i don\'t give a f@##%#$%#$%K
fn tit\'s
incase you haven\'t herd me say that
