Super Mario Kart Album Progress

[TheLHP]

Any news on the CD?

[Mazedude]

Go get it! - http://theoneups.com/store.html

[Iron Curtain]

I think TheLHP wants to know if the actual CDs are in Mustin's possession to be shipped out to everyone who ordered them.

[Mustin]

CDs come in tomorrow. We'll be scrambling to get them out ASAP.

Why is it in a slip case and not a Jewel Case or even a digipak? What made Chronotorious so awesome was all that comprehensive artwork. This, however, just screams cheap.

Slip case looks good to me. I can fit five of them in one slot on my cd rack.

...yah. I'm sticking with that wording.

You know, you CAN be happy that they decided to press a CD at all considering this was originally JUST a digital download.
It's in a slipcase for cost reasons. Pressing CDs isn't that cheap, especially when minimum orders are usually 1000. Even if they were a buck a disc, that's still a grand needed up front. I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of money just lying around and it's not like The OneUps are multimillionaires due to putting out a few CDs here and there. From what I know, most of those CDs end up breaking even and then barely anything after.
I'm happy enough getting a physical disc to put on my shelf.

How many graphics of tiny characters in go-karts do you want in one CD insert?! I think the race track on the front of the slip case does it more than justice...

[Ybrik Metaknight]

Give a mouse a cookie, he's gonna want an expensive jewel case and other packaging goodies.

[Mustin]

CHRONOTORIOUS was a Limited Edition.

Super Mario Kart Album will always be printed.

Jewel cases break. I'm 100% done with them.

No digipak because of what Joe_Cam said - this wasn't even going to be a physical CD release -- we just decided to cave and give in to people wanting CDs.

Big thanks to everyone coming to the rescue and keeping me from having to explain myself in great length.

[TheLHP]

Jewel cases are nice to look at, but like joe-cam said, they break. In fact I think my Chronotorius case already has a few cracks in it..

[Mustin]

Digipak from here on. Sleeves at least.

Fix'd. Mustin said it, not me.
I said "breaking even" as in financially. I know for a FACT that, shocker!, Mustin does not own a yacht and a mansion nor does he light cigars with $100 bills while whoreslaves please him round the clock.
Ok, maybe that last one is still true.

That's right, he owns two.

Having actually gotten the CD, I've changed my mind completely. The slip case works. Plus, considering that there are no lyrics, it makes no sense to have a jewel case wherein there will be nothing but useless information when all the necessary info could be printed on the back. So I'm sold.

[Mustin]

There ARE lyrics.

But glad your mind was changed.

Just out of curiosity, why was there no update on the front page?!

[Oni]

I just checked the site out not too long ago, and found this forum. I should have checked it out sooner. I really like what you guys have here. Anyways, I already told you guys how much I loved the Super Mario Kart Album, and I'm sure you've read review on Facebook. For those who don't have this album, it's a must-buy. The hard work really pays off.

Oh yeah, I loved the lrics for Boswer's Castle.

WE ARE A JAZZ BAND
WE WILL KILL YOU
BOWSER IS HERE
THESE ARE THE DAYS

Awesome!

[Red the Ghost]

Okay, so I've been a fan for a year or two, but haven't followed news of this band for a while. . . then I come here and see a full Super Mario Kart album.
I absolutely cannot express how awesome that moment was.

[Mustin]

You should get on that mailing list, bro.

Maybe. I always forget to check my email, though. >w>
Either way, great job; I'll certainly be getting it soon.

And ah, good job with the metal vocals on Bowser's Castle. x3
