There is a button in the picture of the box between Sticker and the guitar pick.

If we can hit $35,000 -we hope to turn the project into a full box set - allowing room for all of the discs as well as other goodies and surprises! To start it off, we'll throw in a sticker, a DA button, a guitar pick and (5) five random photos from the DA/Solid Rock archives!

  Clever $40,000 stretch goal

The new stretch goal is an EP with the infamous 78 rpm on one side. Instant classic. This project just keeps getting better.

How do we pull this off? New people? Or could we get everyone to sweeten their pledges? I hit the top $140 pledge and I would do more if I could and and I could get that EP.

Question. I went for the $25 CD set but I think I want to kick in another $10 to get the 5 discs. What's the best way to do that?

Kickstarter Help


How can I change my pledge amount?

in Backer Questions / Managing your pledge
To change your pledge amount, visit the project page and click the blue “Manage" button that appears next to your pledge amount and then select "Change your pledge" on the following page.

From here, you’ll be able to adjust your pledge amount or choose a new reward tier you'd like to pledge for and your pledge amount will update automatically. If you don't want to receive a reward, select "No thanks, I just want to help the project." and enter your new pledge amount.

Note that you are not adding to your existing pledge; the amount you enter will be the total amount collected if the project is successfully funded.

In the end I had to cancel my first pledge and pick a new one. It kept showing both pledges in the finally tally.

If Audiori sets *another* stretch goal, we may have to duct tape his arms to his chair.

How about hit 65000 and you'll get the whole band back together for a new album... Or wait, maybe that can be in July... After 77s launch theirs in a couple days!

Vinyl is the current Pet Rock. Blu-ray audio has vinyl beat by a country mile.

Personally, I don't think it compares to the pet rock, the pet rock was a useless fad. I think there are better sounding audio formats for sure, to me even a CD is better, but I can understand the draw to vinyl. There is a different sound to playing a record and there is a level of nostalgia. The size, artwork and experience of a record is different than a CD, and a CD is different than MP3s.

For many, the draw of a vinyl record today is the same as it was 40 years ago: it's more of an immersive listening event, more about the experience of an album, side A - side B. Especially with albums that are thematic or conceptual (like HD, Pink Floyd's The Wall, Planet P Project's eponymous, etc.). I think the same is true of more recent albums like Matt Pond PA's The Dark Leaves or Winter Lives, which have such a perfect pacing and warmth that, for me, they're uniquely enjoyable when you sit down by a turntable and immerse yourself in the artistry without the distraction of traffic, for example.

vinyl sounds great! the reason i never listen to it anymore is that i don't usually sit in my living room to listen to music, it's on the go..

What's truly immersive is BD audio in multichannel turned up loud. Something vinyl could never come close to. Once you've heard that level of quality you'll understand. I don't ever expect to see any of the great old CCM appear in this format because the multichannel tapes probably don't exist.

I had tons of vinyl with an outstanding linear tracking table and the best catridges I could afford. But I don't miss the pops and clicks and constant cleaning/care. I usually dubbed them straight to cassette ((I had a Nakamichi 670ZX with outboard dbx and even a dbx car unit) and never played them again unless I was making a mix tape.

I've heard some outstanding audiophile quality digital music and agree that vinyl can't achieve that kind of quality; however, what I meant by immersive isn't the audio quality, but the experience that vinyl provides with its inherent limitations, such as how the medium invites you to listen to an album as a whole, where the track order can be key to how you remember a song, for example, relative to the other songs; it's not so with the digital medium, because each song stands on its own as one single amongst other singles. Of course, new music doesn't live in that context of side A and side B, and track order isn't as important anymore. Even now when I listen to the Stones Tattoo You album (even in my car), I think of the songs as being either on the jamming side A or the slow and bluesy side B, which is a carryover from having first enjoyed it on a record player. That world is disappearing, but it's still enjoyable.

It's like camping. You can do just about everything better from your own home, more comfortably, and with higher quality amenities, but camping has a unique pleasure all its own because of what the limitations provide you in terms of experience. Of course, not everyone likes camping.

Nowadays I find that I'll only buy a vinyl album if it lends itself to being enjoyed as an album, like HD. Otherwise I'll only buy the few digital tunes I like from an album. It's rare that I buy a cd anymore, usually it's because the whole album is killer but it's not available on vinyl.

Before I turned 18 (ages ago) I spent as much time camping as possible. It was a different world back then with nothing to fear and folks didn't chase you off their land.

I still buy CD's. I currently average 2 per week. I have a couple thousand CD's. I only buy digital if I have no other choice. And honestly I listen to most of my music in the car on an iPod. It's a pretty good 7 speaker system, so it ain't bad.

I did love the LP experience. The large size, the record sleeves and especially gatefolds.
