Farin Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Subliminal Girls' new release will cost a pretty packet [smaller]NME.com | Oct 30, 2008 | Link[/smaller] London five-piece Subliminal Girls are set to release a limited-edition version of their new single, 'Self-Obsession Is An Art Form', with each copy priced at £1,200. Ten copies of the limited-edition vinyl single, released on November 17, will be made. It will come packaged in a box with an art print, a photographic book, a screen-printed T-shirt, an acrylic disk and signed negatives of the band. Pop artist Stuart Semple, who designed the singles, said the move was a measure designed to "fight iPod culture in which album covers are reduced to thumb-nails," according to a statement. The singles will be available to buy from the Opus Gallery's website, Opus-art.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolonthehill Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 If I felt a sudden urge to fight that culture, I'd buy some used vinyl for $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I feel inspired to punch all of the subliminal girls on the nose. I'd gladly pay 1200 for the privilege Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
