The concept behind OUR Records is that NOTHING is copywrited. NOTHING is 'owned.' ALL of the music will be FREE to all...in a new way.

All of the albums on OUR Records will be free for download, including album covers that can be printed out. It will then be encouraged that anyone and everyone who makes copies at thier home then sell them at local record stores, concerts, to friends, ect. We will ask NOTHING in return.

Also, anyone owning copies of albums on OUR Records is ENCOURAGED to file share.

I know what you might be thinking, we'll make no money. EXACTLY! That is the point. I would like OUR Records to be a collaboration of unsigned artists who are only interested in making art for the sake of art and letting it be spread. This idea, if it takes flight, should get all of the artists involved EXPOSURE.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR RECORDS

OUR Records is a concept I came up with on the way to the 4th Annual Lebowskifest in Louisville, KY. I had already put up the entire discography for Bad Spelling and Grammar in a similar way, and suddenly it came to me while riding in the passenger seat.

OUR Records.

Suddenly I had an acronym for it, Overcoming & Undermining the Republic. It was perfect. A virtual record company that anyone can get albums for free and sell them in their own towns.

With the rise of the information revolution things have been changing in the face of music. Kids don't buy albums in stores as much. Everything is Downloaded. Bands like They Might Be Giants and even Smashing Pumpkins have released albums online. File sharing has also become so big that big names like Metallica and Beastie Boys have been pissing and moaning about how it's affecting their millions they've been making.

It seemed to me that it has now become apparent that music is ready to be given away freely. That copyrighting everything and being greedy will not get you a fan base or respect. OUR world is changing..and so are OUR Records.

OR if you're really cool give them away! People like you, whoever you are viewing this site, are what makes OUR Records work! If you haven't cought on by now the ENTIRE concept behind this "Record Company" is that it is OWNED by every living and breathing human being.

All it takes to be a member is to have a computer that can download MP3's, burn them to disk, and print album covers. If you want you can make up buisness cards and give yourself a title! Then take the albums to your local record store and say, "Hello, I represent OUR Records and I have some albums I'd like to sell in your local artist section." Most stores get a big percent of local artist album sales anyway and don't ask too many questions. The clerk will them explain to you how and when to come back in and collect your money. About prices- I say the amount of work you put into the product determines the cost. If you go all out and print out full color glossy album covers complete with liner notes and lyrics or whatever, sell higher. If you make cheap black and white covers and write the name on the CDR with a sharpie, try to be reasonable and only ask 3-5 dollars. (or the equivilent if you're not in America).
