Creel Pone

Profile:
Bootleg CDR label run by Keith Fullerton Whitman focused on early electroacoustic & experimental recordings for research purposes. Each release is a limited fac-similé edition of only 50 with a silver foil-stamp on the crystal-clear resealable polypropylene compact-disc sleeve. 100 of these reproductions have been scheduled without "having anything to do with money but just [as] a way for pure and great art both in vision & sound to prosper and be discovered a new."
Though statements have been put on the web that this label is based in Iceland, this is completely untrue.

ALL micro labels operate at either a loss or just break even.
Barry_Crumbcheeks May 05, 2012
Thing is, there HAVE been official rereleases of things that were booted here, post bootlegging. (I'm thinking of Conrad & Sohn, Jean-Clade Eloy, Dub Taylor* etc.). Perhaps the appearance of the boots has encouraged the offical reissue proccesses? You don't have to buy them, but perhaps they are involved just by their existence in the (re)appearance of legit versions?
(*which I have the official CD rereleases of. I don't have any Creel Pone boots, I just noticed they preceded those particular offical reissues...)
Review by rrot Apr 27, 2012
Why have Creel Pone on Discogs? Maybe because Discogs is about information, not opinion.

But, to engage the irrelevancy:

--I wonder, how much net $$ people imagine KFW has *made* from Creel Pone? I rather imagine it's been a net loss.

--I wonder, exactly from whom people imagine Creel Pone has "ripped off?" The artists who have been bootlegged?

Funny, then, that the first suggestion critics make is "free downloads"...

Since free downloads "rip off" the artist no less than CDRs, it sounds much more like whining -- "I want mine!"

(And, you know, the downloads are out there, yes...)

Why even legitimize a BOOTLEG rip off label on Discogs? its pathetic!
cicerobuck Dec 17, 2011
I sincerely doubt those are ltd to 50 copies each. And the series is now way past 100 "releases" as well. Making people pay for CDRs is IMHO a tad wrong. Either make a blog with downloads or wait for official reissues if those happen.
