We are a collective of people all over the US... we are just a small group of friends doing what we love. With all small businesses there are a lot of kinks to work out but as far as number of units and song availability, well, that just depends on the artist we work with. JM Mullins worked with Dom and his management on this release and doesn't have much control over that stuff. I'm sure in the future it will be different for each release. We are always looking to better our platform and I'm sure the business model will change over the years. thanks for your input. noted*

We had big plans for a Dom Flemons tour exclusive. Apparently, this surprise has been dismantled...

The Dom requested tour copies are at the press now... We were planning on adding these in as a surprise for all variant orders, but the surprise of their existence has been sullied by someone intent on ruining the fun and magic of having this awesome group. So... Surprise.

Anyone else out there who missed a variant, this is a great excuse to go see Dom do his thing, and pick up a limited waxo tour edition too!

I don't know where I heard it, but I definitely remember hearing a sample of Dom, well before the release.

So for those of you debating breaking the seal, do it! 250 more copies are coming your way!
So rare!
I would think as a fellow record label owner that you might show some support for others. There are many on here. The release is very cool. Not just another garage band from Detroit but something with some heart, soul, and history.

The fact that the artwork is over the top is just a huge bonus. I collect 7" I mostly play 12"

The packaging, artwork, etc is why I buy 7"

Atleast they are making it different for the tour copies, that is all that matters. Its just another record .... worth chasing.

There are many youtube videos available of Dom's music, he even has his own channel. We did our best to get a Q&A with Dom posted as close to the release date as we could. He spent quite a bit of time answering our questions and it is a very informative look into his background and style and can be found in the blog section of waxoholics.com.

To everyone who has supported our venture thus far- thank you, it means more than you know. We are constantly striving to come up with cool and fun ideas and your support makes it all possible. It's been a total labor of love and we all have fun with it.... though we have yet to see any #OprahMoney. oh well, oh well.

To the PI of the thread, well done sir! Way to ruin a little fun for everyone. My mother always said if you've nothing nice to say then say nothing at all so.......

Don't let Ben get you down. Ya'll are just starting off and are doing great. Learn as you go. You have a lot of support from some Swirlers and tons on Facebook. I think a lot of people don't know you as well on here. Just keep on keeping on and see what happens. I'm very happy for ya'll. Lots of time and energy put into something like this. With the talent you guys have to work with just leaves me pondering what you will come up with next :) :) :)
