Hi there,

me and a friend just released our dream and opened a little store in the net for people who love vinyl...
We are adding records daily if time allows, all with soundfiles of course...

We are happy if you pay us a visit at :

www.cosmicdudes.com

And even if you don't feel like shopping, it is certainly nice for listening pleasure (-:

Thanks

But there are a ton of "secret" records near the end of the cosmic list.  Why all the mystery?  Are these "secret" records common enough that you couldn't get a fair price for them otherwise?  Or is obfuscation the name of the game here and only people that are willing to pay are let into the club?  I'm not a fan, obviously.

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

The site is very nice, the guys that made it obviously have a lot of good records and are well informed about obscure cosmic disco etc.

But I wouldn't buy records from the site, for me personally the fun is in digging crates for surprises, not paying through the nose for instant credibility.

Keeping records secret is just lame though. If you love the music share information about it so others can enjoy it, don't just sit on it like a leprechaun on a pot of gold- the physical record may belong to you, but the creative material does not.

Imagine if archeologists or scientists had the same attitude and just kept all their best discoveries to themselves.

I know it's not the same, but the only possible reason to keep the names secret if for profit or just being precious about your "discovery" and "ownership" of someone elses creative work.

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

The only reason its secret is that you can get it much cheaper elsewhere. If he told you the real name, then you'd go and do that. The site has nice music on it, but you gotta be a sucker to pay big money to find out the "secret".

He Guys,

just two or three words on this before you totally kill us (-:

I totally apreciate that people have different opinions about this "Secret" thing, but let me tell you this.

We have been digging records for over 15 years now, spent endless amounts of time and money in it !

Now so much for not worshipping the creative material that these vinyls had to offer.


We tried to make a healthy mixture between well known classics and some unknown stuff, there are not more than 20 % Secrets on our site,but we are no sort of museum, where people can go, put their favourites on there wantlist, and search the internet in the hope that one day this record will pop up somewhere.

Who in the world can blame us for that, after putting so much Energy in the vinyls and the store ?

Once again, these Secrets are no records which you can find at any corner or at Ebay, and you all know the deal, if somebody discovers some new material and posts it somewhere, it will last one month until that record will be totally expensive and unavailable...

Is that what you want ?

Every record has extra long soundfiles, so you know what you can expect when you decide to buy it !

It's totally up to you to visit our little site and if
you believe we squeeze some 5dollar bin secrets
inbetween a PARADISE FRAME LP and a WOLFGANG MAUS,
well what can we do against it... ?

Who in the world do we harm with this ?

Maybe the site is also nice to get an idea about how the "No Human" LP for example sounds like ?

If it is really worth dying for or if you better leave your hands from that...

Or just listen to a "Underwater Electronic Orchestra" Lp, how many did that before...

So totally cool with different opinions, but i have problems to call all those people who bought many records from us within the last days and said many nice things about the site - Suckers !

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

great chance to hear cool tracks, thanks!

i hear you

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

so the extra cost covers your previous years digging? why should you get respect for that in itself...
you earn respect, you dont demand it
also your prices are way high to start with, so your arguments about 'totally expensive' prices makes no sense.
theres is no harm in being transparent by the way, and you will get more respect and buyers. look at for instance IFM...

best of luck though guys

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

Yeah good luck from me too, the site is a great resource and opportunity to let people hear some great hard to find records.

thats certainly true for the ''secret dutch prog'' lp, which is otger dice- garden of pleasure. usually sells for about 10-15 euri abroad, but you can find it with a bit of searching in holland for 2-5 euri any day. and i'm suspecting thats true for a lot of the other secret stuff as well.

all i can say is it's a real good way of showing respect to the original artists to keep their names away from others and only for you to know. good job, you can really be proud of yourself..

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

secret sounds like cosmic bullshit

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

apart from the prices you ask for some records and the secret shit (actually it's quite fun to find out what the secret stuff is, or Scarface? big_smile) your page is really well made. i like the super simple structure and love the design. hm, i really wonder if anyone is willing to send you their secret wantlists, though.

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

The Orphee and the Christian Bruhn record ( which was "secret" till today )are/were also many times available for about 10 Euri and i paid for both only about 3 bucks.

I also have the still secret " Albatros - Stop Stop violence" .

Re: Records for sale - Cosmic, Electronic, Prog, Disco & Euro-Disco

The site is really nicely designed and the clips are cool (some prices are not as bad as I expected either), but the secrets and 'make an offer' are a big turn-off for me.
