3. EP
I CHOSE PHOEBE BRIDGERS 'COPYCAT KILLER’
EP FROM MOBIUS RECORDS. THIS CLASSIFIES
AS AN EP OR EXTENDED PLAY BECAUSE IT IS
NOT JUST A SINGLE RELEASE BUT INCLUDES 4
SONGS. THE SONGS ARE LATER ALSO
FEATURED ON HER NEXT ABLUM RELEASE
‘PUNISHER’. ALL TOGETHER THOUGH THE
SONGS ARE LESS THAN THEN 30 MINS WHICH
QUALIFIES IT AS AN EP.

4. LP
FOR THE LP OR LONG PLAY I CHOSE
EMINEM’S ‘THE SLIM SHADY’ LP. A LONG
PLAY REFERS TO A FULL PEICE OF
WORK, IT MUST FEATURE BETWEEN
10-30 SONGS AND MUST BE OVER 40
INUTES ALL TOGETHER TO BE
CONSIDERED. EMINEM’S LP CONSISTS
OF 29 SONGS AND EARNS THE TITLE OF
AN LP.

“YES, WE DO. WE HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF INDIE ARTIST AND A SECTION DEADICATED
TO SPOTLIGHT THEM.”

6. RECORD STORE DAY
EVENTS
MOBIUS RECORDS DOESN’T DO MANY BIG
EVENTS AS THEY ARE LOCATED IN A MORE
QUIET OLD TOWN, BUT THIS PAST SATURDAY
CELEBRATED RECORD STORE DAY AND
HOSTED A RAFFLE. THEY ARE A VERY
POPULAR LOCAL SPOT AND HAD A LINE
WRAPPING AROUND THE BLOCK OF PEOPLE
WAITING TO GET IN.

7. RECORDSTOREDAYEXCLUSIVE
MOBIUS RECORDS GOT THEIR
HANDS ON QUITE A BIT OF RSD
RELEASES ONE OF WHICH WAS
THE 1975 LIVE AT GORILLA LP.
1975 RELEASED THIS AS AN RSD
FIRST RELEASE AND ONLY MADE
7500 UNITS FOR THIS DAY.

8. SWAG
MOBIUS RECORDS HAS A BUCKET OF
STICKERS FROM LOCAL ARTISTS OR
COMPANIES AT THE REGISTER THAT IS
FREE WITH YOUR PURCHASE. I
UNFORTUNATLY WAS NOT ABLE TO GET
A PICTURE FROM HAVING TO DO THE
ONLINE VERSION.

9. PROMO
MOBIUS RECORDS ON THEIR
HOME PAGE HOSTS WEEKLY
PROMO FOR NEW RELEASES
CURRENTLY THEY ARE
PROMOTING TAYLOR SWIFTS
NEW ALBUM FRONT AND
CENTER AS THAT IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST RELEASES OF THE
WEEK.

10. REFLECTION
I WOULD DEFINITELY USE MOBIUS RECORDS FOR AN INDIE ARTIST’S MUSIC RELEASE.
THEY ARE A STAPLE OF THIS AREA AND DO A GREAT JOB OF PROMOTING AND
OFFERING CONSIGNMENT TO INDIE ARTISTS. I THINK I WOULD PROBABLY DO A
SINGING EVENT, SINCE IT IS AN OLD TOWN THEY TRY NOT TO CAUSE TOO MUCH
COMMOTION AND NOISE AND A SIGNING WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO PROMOTE AT
THIS STORE AND AREA, ALSO GIVING THE INDIE ARTIST TIME TO MEET THE LOCALS
AND GET THEIR NAME OUT MORE.
