Etnica - Live In Athens 1996 - On Vinyl!

By taking part in this perk you will allow me to press my first vinyl ever, and what an album it is!

Etnica Live in Athens was a really successful release and I have been dreaming of releasing this album on vinyl. I was hesitant at first and asked advice around to people who are experts in the field and learnt a lot about the needed mastering and the different production techniques that are behind the realization of an LP.

So the idea would be to realize something special, that would allow this sacred monster to live on a timeless format. The production it is expensive because I don't want to do something mediocre, I want to deliver the best possible result and for this I need your help.

The release will be pressed on audiophile vinyls at 180 gr. and the release would be made in 3 different colors, black, blue and green (these transparent). The CDs were colored and thus vinyls should be the same, not to mention they would look amazing.

With this contribution you will basically pre-order a copy of this 3LP set that you'll easily get delivered at home once the project has been finalized.

Since people have been a bit hesitant I want to make clear that, if a minimum amount of 100 copies aren't sold, I will reimburse whatever money I received to the rightful supporters minus the 9% tax that indigogo is keeping already. So for instance if you perk for the 36 eur version of LP + CDS you will not recover 3,24 eur that I haven't received either. Money will stay in the account until the end of the campaign.

The tracklist would be as follows:

A1 Etnica – Plastic7:06
A2 Etnica – Floating Universe 8:16

B1 Blue Planet Corporation – Antidote (Etnica Remix)10:52
B2  Etnica – Nice Toys10:01

C1 Etnica – Vimana10:08
C2 Crop Circles – Lunar Civilization (Etnica Remix)10:05

D1 Etnica - Fluorophilia Camps Bay9:34
D2 Pleiadians –Jungle Trax (Etnica Remix)9:01

E Pleiadians – Time Dilation (Etnica Morning Mix)15:47
F Etnica – Mental Puzzle14:33

#Breakdown of costs

-Pressing:
300x3LP = 4000 eur (pressed either at MPO or another professional company)
Example of Costs (I have been asked why it is so expensive):

Laquers & Metal Cut - 1290
3LP (900 Vinyls @ 180gr) - 1236
Setup Label's Printing - 68
Printed Labels A/B + C/D + E/F - 277
Inner sleeves - 67
Jacket Print Setup - 36
Jacket Spine 7mm (350gr) - 677
5 Color Printing of LP Cover - 92
Shrinkwrapping- 35
Delivery - 184
MPO (Spain) = 3962 eur

I have inquired 10 pressing plants and more or less they all range from 3000 to 4000 for the project I have in mind.

-Mastering (Revolution Mastering):
700 eur (Vinyl Mastering is different and tracks will be remastered for the release)
Here you can take a look at prices and after an inquire they said for my project they'd need roughly the amount specified.

-Artwork adapting:
300 eur (LP vs CD is not exactly the same).

-Adjustment for the % Indiegogo will take off the project:
604 eur (taxes)

Any extra funds collected will be used to finance an eventual extra EP which may feature 2 more tracks or eventually it would become a 4LP release.

The CD single included with the extra perks would be DATEP002 (Virtuart) and/or DATEP004 (Symbiote) that are going to pressing as we speak.

If we surpass the goal I will use the money to fund expensive releases that will be coming such as:

Pleiadians - I.F.O Live 1997 + I.F.O. Remastered (2CD)
Etnica - Juggling Alchemists Remastered + Bonus Unreleased 94-95 (2CD)

So Please... pledge ahead :)!
