RECORD CRACK: Rancid “Essentials” vinyl box set coming soon
Yesterday I posted a note about Apple/EMI’s forthcoming Beatles stereo LP box set coming out next month. The holiday season is the time when labels (both major and indie) go nuts with the goods, and this one will delight fans of punk rock. Rancid are celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band, and they’re doing so with a vinyl box set called Essentials, and not just a regular box set of records. This will be an all-7″ box set, and not five or ten records. 46 records will be in this thing, which means you’ll have to flip records 92 times to hear it. This is what you’ll find within the Essentials box:
• Self-Titled 7” EP (1992)
• Rancid (1993)
• Let’s Go (1994)
• …And Out Come The Wolves (1995)
• Life Won’t Wait (1998)
• Rancid (2000)
• Indestructible (2003)
• B Sides and C Sides (2007)
• Let The Dominoes Fall (2009)
• Let The Dominoes Fall (acoustic) (2009)
All of it will be encased in a leather-bound box, in different color variations.
The folks at Louisville Slugger/Pirates Press have thought of both the collector and the listener, knowing that some audiophiles feel that color vinyl is not as good in sound quality as traditional black, so some records will be pressed in black. On top of that, if you don’t want the entire box, you can buy different records in a number of different ways, which means you don’t have to have the mega-king box, just take what you want and enjoy. Nice, right?
You can look over the different pressings and find out more about what’s on it and how it looks, as well as to pre-order your copy or two by heading to PiratesPressRecords.com, the company responsible for pressing this up.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any
issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

So far with this website, I have not had any issue. However, when I was doing my U-WU newsletter and website, I did have my discography pages used by someone else who had taken credit for it. To make matters worse, “their” discography was used by the Wu-Tang Clan for their website. Someone had said “theft is the sincerest form of flattery” and I was like “bullshit it is”. If someone is taking credit for anything that I write, I would love to know about it. As far as a solution, one would be to complain about it on Twitter or Facebook so that ones fans can campaign to blast the person or people who stole the content. As far as copyright violations, I have not had that issue. I did have a song removed even though the song was not a violation of a copyright. I even contacted the band and they didn’t know what was going on either, and the company that did remove the MP3 didn’t bother replying back on a reason for the removal.
