the ugly one wrote:still nothing new here, just in case anyone is wondering.
it slowly getting close to two years since this project was successfully funded and I realy don't think i will ever see those records.
I'm also patiently waitin' for the shifters 10'' that was also promoted on this forum. well, in that case it's almost 8 months since the project was successfully funded and 5 months since the band started mailing records out.
it seems to me that in both those cases the person/presons behind those kickstarter projects found themselfs in over their heads at some point. without time/money/something else to ship all those packages out. so who's gonna miss out: their mate from their town or some guy halfway aroud the world living in the country they probably never heard of. well it's obvious.
with my 50% kickstarter record (funded 4 projects, recived 2 packages) i don't think i will back anymore projects. as much as i like the concept. the little money i got to spend on records these days will go to trusted mailorders.
I agree with you on this, I backed 18 fundded project, I'm still waiting for 9 so I guess 50% is the overall ratio ;o) to be honest 3 are recent but a lot have at least 1 year.
To list them the Reggae 69 fan club, the Shifters 10', Legend of Ska movie, Brooklyn Rocksteady documentary, the bohunks 1st cd, The sentiments.
The 3 last ones are from may 2012 so I guess I may have a chance on these.
So I guess I'm done with the kickstarter system also, I'm ready to accept a couple of issues but at this point, too many guys behind those project don't even take the time to send upddates.
