And we racked our brains trying to come up with flashy ways to entice you to buy early. While great ideas like the Numero musical snowglobe and Eccentric Soul black-light poster were tabled (for now), we found a place to print up membership cards entitling you to a 15% discount. For 0 we gave you six CDs (or five LPs) and put more junk in your wallet. Well, get ready to replace that worn-out card, or if you don't have one, get ready to make room. The 2010 Numero subscription is here and more expensive than ever.
No, we didn't mean to say expansive, although it's that, too. 2010 looks to be a much different year than any you've ever experienced as a standard card-carrying member of our inner circle. In the past we've focused on quantity, great quantity, mind you, but going forward we're going to be all about quality. If you've seen Light: On The South Side or Eccentric Soul: Twinight's Lunar Rotation 4LP set, then you have a good idea where we're headed. The days of the single disc are not exactly behind us, but we'll likely be doing far fewer of them. And while the price has gone up, so has the amount of music we're including.
Scheduled for inclusion in the 2010 CD subscription are following eye and ear popping Numero titles:
031 Celestial Navigations: The Short Films of Al Jarnow DVD
032 Syl Johnson: Complete Recordings 1959-72 6LP+4CD
034 Local Customs: Lowlands CD
035 Boddie Recording Company: Cleveland, Ohio 3CD
