bare The Complete Studio Recording — Page 16

Does anyone know what ****** playing ****** is all about?

I believe it's Damon's response to anyone who was pissed about a certain cast member not being on the CD i.e. Natalie Joy Johnson not playing Nadia or Michael Arden not playing Peter. It's stuff like that.

"Hah! I'm not Damon. I know Damon, but that's another story"
Yea, you've got the HOOK UP


In regards to the "delay" of the shipping, as many of you seem to be so furious about. I feel it is hardly anyone's duty to have to check their email daily for a confirmation that their CD has shipped, I believe everyone understood, as Damon as implanted in all of his little blurbs about the forthcoming Bare album, that it is a SMALL INDEPENDENT COMPANY; they are not Amazon.com and all of this is a fairly new experience to the entire team. With inexperience, comes the process of learning the ropes, and that is what they are doing. Damon mentioned that HE himself is essentially the company and BARE, from the beginning, has been nothing but a labor of love. People have devoted countless hours to ensure that BARE can finally be preserved. Perhaps there has been a miscalculation, in terms of what the creative team had expected and what is currently in front of their faces as we speak.
The process of delivering hundred of CD's is not easy as one would expect in the fast paced environment we thrive on. If you yourself think otherwise, I'd advise you to attempt this on your own. If you possibly believe that you can manage such an operation, be my guest. I also believe that it is rude to bombard the company with your emails after several notices have been issued that state the current condition of the process. If you paid for an item, quite simply, you will receive it. The only time when you should concern yourself with not receiving an item, is when it has been FAR OVER THE MENTIONED DATE OF SHIPMENT (One week or more), then in that case, take legal action. As they have mentioned on the website, the item will be shipped within 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS, and as I check the date (November 8th), we are still within that time frame. For those unfamiliar with BUSINESS DAYS, they usually consist of the 5 day weekday (Mon-Fri). It has not been a period of time where you should begin to worry. Essentially, my intention of writing this small paragraph is to insist that you contain your antics and understand the situation at hand. There seems to be a select few individuals that have overreacted entirely and need to examine something thoroughly prior to purchasing, as well as the ongoing delivery to their homes. And I am through.

"That does make a lot of sense!! If only we had the CDs, we could judge for ourselves."

True dat.

I think we have to let go of the past promises and work forward. The email said we will have it by the 13th if we paid on the 30th. I did. I will hopefully have it on or by the 13th. I can live with that. There is truth on both sides; They promised something they didn't deliver and people overreacted, myself included. I think that's a compliment to the work though. People just really want the CD. It means enough that people are anxiously waiting for it and anxious people are cranky.

brainlessorwise nicely put

"I think when they said same day shipping they thought that only a few dozen would sell. Not 1200. That's quite a leap in numbers and impossible to process."


Ok, there should have been a statement made the day after the release date stating they received over a thousand orders. But no, they waited a WEEK to tell us that.

Even so, it seems to me they could have taken pre-orders. So, I don't blame anyone here for complaining.

Also, I haven't heard one person on here say they received it. If they had a few dozen CDs 'ready', why not mail those out to at least please a few fans... I think it's crappy to hold the orders back just so everything can be mailed at once. I know in Damon's e-mail he mentions people recieved them, but they must not be fans here. Surely someone would have mentioned it.

I don't like how this was handled AT ALL! I am not falling for that 'we received too many orders'. They had months to put up a poll or they COULD have said on the site that each person may order only 1 CD.... to me it sounds like people were ordering in bulk.

Mine hasnt come yet! The hesitating is killing me, I didnt order the first day it came out and now I dont have it and I want it. And for those of you in chicago there is a regional production of it this december.

Why would anyone name a company You Pay Now Music?

Ummm...that is starting to sound like a scam...I did not realize the company's name. But that is going to be one sick and sad joke if this was all a scam. And will put a bad name on Musical Recordings. But, I still have faith!

I'll exercise my sense of humor when I have the album in my hands. Because Damon said I'd have it by November 13, which is this coming Tuesday... yet I still haven't received an email confirming my order has shipped.

So at this moment, I'm not finding a company funny that has had my money for 2 weeks and not sent out a product.

I think I'm going to request a chargeback on my bank account.
