The first release in the Columbus Discount Records Singles Club has arrived. For the first time I feel like I am part of a real singles club. Unlike other clubs that attract a lot of attention and end up flooding eBay with singles because people subscribe just to make money, I think CDR really cares about this. The single arrived promptly as promised at my doorstep. The fact that the CDR headquarters is no more then a mile away from me probably helps as well but these guys had the singles Friday evening at a local bar so fans could stop by, pick them up, talk and enjoy. Download that. The first single is from Pink Reason. It’s pressed on pink wax and while not 180 gram, it’s nice and thick. The sleeve opens up to show a short essay from Kevin about the two recordings he selected for the single. It was a short but intriguing read that left me wanting to know more about the stories surrounding the songs. Both songs, 3:16 and Sweet Sinister, are excellent. This is what a record club needs and this is what this club offers. It is providing that connection between artist, and their fans through both the music and the additional insight provided. The club has officially been sold out so if your not a member you are going to have a real hard time finding a copy of this. Remember that 350 of these are pressed and only 250 club members exist. That means Pink Reason should be getting copies of this and may have some to sell at their upcoming shows.
