10 Compilation CDs for $10.00 Sale
The Cheapo CD sampler quickly rose to power during the mid 90’s. Labels like Fat, Epitaph, Victory, Asian Man, and Hopeless were well known by their branded cheapo sampler as it was the best way to find out about new acts. Even labels like Suburban Home got in on the craze and at one time, we sold quite a few compilation CDs. We had a series called Playing 4 Square which I thought was a pretty cool idea as it was a 4 way label sampler featuring tracks from 4 up and coming indie labels. The 3 volumes we did featured tracks from acts as varied as Lagwagon, New Found Glory, Jealous Sound, No Knife, Communique, Ted Leo and the Pharmicists, Rx Bandits, Rainer Maria, The STarting Line, Brackit, Armchair Martian, and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes all made appearances on the series.
Fast forward to 2007 and compilation CDs just don’t have the same power they once did. With myspace and mp3s on label sites, you can find out about bands very easily. But trust me when I say that in the mid to late 90’s you would look forward to new compilation CDs as it was assured that you would find a song by a band you have never heard and that would inspire you to find their release.
Take a trip back in time with me and take advantage of this incredible deal. Just the fact that you will be getting 10 CDs for $10 is pretty amazing. Then think about the number of tracks, 329, which would cost you an arm and a leg on most digital destinations. The samplers featured in this sale represent a small part of indie history and a bit portion of Suburban Home’s past. This sale features Suburban Home’s very first CD we ever released, the compilation “Punk, It’s All About the Orchis Factor”. Yes, I realize it is a dumb name, but it is still a fun listen. The 10 Compilation CDs will feature 10 of the following 13 possibilities:
Amp Magazine Presents Presents Vol 1 Hardcore
Amp Magazine Presents Presents Vol 2 Street Punk
Amp Magazine Presents Volume 3: Metal
Amp Magazine Presents Volume 4: Pop-Punk
