Eric Sourice dans 21 Again #8 (Décembre 95)
Comment ça s'est passé avec le Club Single ? En sortant le premier 45t, on s'était dit après tout pourquoi ne pas lancer un club single (on l'a copié sur le club single Sub Pop dont on avait un petit peu entendu parler). On avait déjà deux autres 45t en projet et on s'était fixé d'en faire cinq dans l'année et puis de faire un club single. Et ça a pas mal marché, on a eu 150 a 200 adhérents au club single, car c'était l'epoque où tout sortait en vinyl et les gens achetaient pas mal de disques car ce n'était pas trop cher. Les groupes tournaient pas mal, ils vendaient en concert. Mais c'est aussi la période où on a fait quelques erreurs.Eric Sourice in 21 Again #8 (Décember 95)
How did the Club Single took place ? When we issued the first single, we said why don't we put out a singles club (we copied the Sub Pop singles club from which we heard a little about). We had planned two other singles and we planned to do five in the year and a singles club. It worked quite well, we had 150 to 200 members of the singles club, because it was the time when everything was issued on vinyl and people bought a lot of records because it wasn't too expensive. The bands toured quite much, they were selling at gigs. But it's also the time when we made some errors.
