I've seen tribute albums by Versailles records on Amazon a few times over the years. Alternatively, we'll be selling copies at gigs once it's released.http://legacy.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=171330Always cool to see your own band get a mention on Blabbermouth (albeit brief)It may not be a big-budget, chart-topping release, but it'll get us at least some exposure to the rest of the planet so I'm looking forward to it all the same.Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sr_guitar Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Who the hell even makes these things?Some low budget record label in America. They basically release nothing but tribute albums. They've done quite a few over the years. But probably none you'll have heard of to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
