Deadly Friend wasn't a big box office smash either, why I Varese being so stingy with other labels?
Well, maybe DEADLY FRIEND is going to be the next Varese Club 1000-run.
But this is nonsense. Perseverance, press a thousand of CHINATOWN and sell 'em for $20. ($30 is a lot, especially for a score which almost no-one has ever heard.) They'll sell, even if it's to eBay speculators, especially if it's enough of a collectable quality product (eg hand numbered). If Varese can shift a thousand copies of an indifferent score like AN ALMOST PERFECT AFFAIR or THE ISLAND within a few hours, then CHINATOWN shouldn't be that much of a stretch, especially as it's a higher profile title. And it doesn't surely need to go that quickly anyway - it would be nice to have it available for a little while, give us diehard collectors some flexibility.
And presumably CHINATOWN is going to be pressed - $30 for a 28-minute CDR is a joke. But what happens if only 10 people take up the pre-order?
The more I think about this, the less I like it. Sorry.

I'm not sure how to perceive this. If for some reason you imply I'm in cahoots with Perseverance, you are mistaken. I've had good experiences shopping with them and simply wish to share with anyone who is apprehensive.

Nope. Perseverance aren't giving these to us, they're selling them. That was all. No implications intended.

Another point to consider. Since when has this message board been used to solicite the sale of 'promos' (or bootlegs?) which are presumably unlicensed by their prospective rights holders?
Sheriff? Anyone?
To be fair, PERSERVERANCE didn't start this thread, but appeared to answer the questions we were already asking.

This appears was posted by SHERIFF JOE on the TRADING POST section of this site regarding promos and alike

Please, don't sell your bootlegs. Bootlegs, for the uninitiated, include promos.
Promos are NOT TO BE SOLD. They are not pressed for sale and the composer does not get anything for his work. In fact, the only person who gets money for selling a promo is the person selling it.
It is illegal to sell promos.
In the future, anyone attempting to sell promos and other bootleg discs here at FSM will get a public warning, the thread will be DELETED and then the poster will be permanantly banned.
End of notification.

Now if this applies on this board to everyone is a question for Sheriff to answer.

Isn't this the same label that when they released LOCH NESS, claimed it was limited to 1000 units. Then they said they were running out so buy quickly. Shortly after, the story changed from it being a 1000 pressing run to they were only referring to the first pressing of 1000.
I'm not sure what this label's strategy is.

Release Rosenman's score for the original SYBIL legitimately and I might consider forking over a $10 deposit. All of the above is horsepucky (something I agree with Ford Thaxton about for a change) and anyone who prepays anything for these bootleg/promos deserves to be swindled.
FYI, the only thing I commented on was the policy as stated by Sheriff Joe, NOTHING MORE.
I know the owner of this label, he's a nice guy, taking PREORDERS is one thing, but making a downpayment doesn't seem right for some reason.
IMHO of course.
