Universal Records has decided to start a new crowd funding campaign to address the resurgence of vinyl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UVinyl<\/a>, a.k.a The Vinyl Project, is proposing limited re-releases on vinyl from the Universal Music catalog. But few details have been made available yet and the official web site, which will be at uvinyl.com<\/a>, has yet to have gone online.<\/p>\n

All that is known is that donations may result in bonus content, like free music and\/or video downloads and personalized art prints. But personally I’d like to see an artist \/ label partnership that enables donators to obtain rare recordings, like that of Eight Second’s “Almacantar<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Eight Seconds is a rock band from Ottawa primarily known for Canadian hits “Kiss You When It’s Dangerous<\/a>“, “Where’s Bula<\/a>” and Sincere<\/a>“, which were taken from this Universal Records album. And for “Tell Diane<\/a>” and “No Picasso<\/a>” from their subsequent release, “Big Houses” on ATCO Records.<\/p>\n

A re-release of Almacantar<\/a> may be imminent independent of this new project this year. But this could have been an interesting fallback, provided the band were consulted in an acceptable amount of time. <\/p>\n

This being an American project I suspect most Canadian releases would take some time to be considered, not only because of popularity in the states but because of contractual and rights issues.<\/p>\n

I suspect its success will depend on the compensation artists will receive for these re-releases, especially the lesser known acts. I’ve signed on to get more details on UVinyl<\/a> and will post additional information, if any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
