my mistake.  two repressings, three pressings total.

think about what you're saying.  ron made a few dollars?  is something 
wrong
with making money?
what about the records ron has lost money on?

this is a false statement.  the lock groove records are the exception to 
the
rule.  many artists have released successful records thru ron's label.
think about it.  do people buy the lock-groove records for the artists 
involved
or for the concept of a cool record?   nobody's made a record like that 
before
or since.

(what is the name of yr groove?  i don't recall a david myers track.)  do 
you
really think you deserved more than what you received?  how much should 
each of
the hundred artists received?  how much effort did you put into recording 
that
two second snippet of audio?  who bought the 7" because yr name is on it?

no.

if you received two copies, you received one more copy than you deserved.  
if
you wanted to make money with the record, you could've bought some from 
ron at
wholesale cost and sold them yourself.  most of the artists i know are 
simply
thrilled to be on the record and were very very happy to receive their 
copy as
payment.

stop whining, you're making loopers look bad.

ps., anybody out there want to buy a copy of the new and exciting RRR-500
lockgroove record?
