JNR100 Membership 2022 [Yearly]

The JNR100 is a full-label subscription for the most committed JNR supporters. The JNR100 is not for everyone. It's reserved for just 100 people who automatically receive the first 100 copies of everything we release. We are very fortunate to have such loyal supporters. One of the most rewarding things about running our little homegrown label experiment is having relationships with many truly adventurous and committed music lovers. The JNR100 is our opportunity to engage with the most loyal JNR supporters on a more meaningful level than just a supply/demand, customer/company relationship. The JNR100 are not only our most loyal customers, they are friends and advisors who help guide the trajectory of the label.  By now, all of you are familiar with the fucked up state of vinyl manufacturing. In 2022, rather than delay our artists’ releases for untold months, or cancel our longstanding tradition of physical subscriptions, we chose to utilize our in-house 1940’s record lathe machine to keep sending you exclusive new music regularly, while everyone waits for full-length LPs to materialize. For some more context, check out the video here! HOW IT WORKS JNR100 members automatically receive the first 100 copies of EVERY release from the label – no ordering necessary. JNR100 members are charged $100 per month, and in exchange they receive one monthly package containing each new Joyful Noise release on the most limited edition format (hand-numbered between 1 and 100). This includes the super limited "Art Object" type releases, elaborate Box Sets, and VIP editions of any other release. In addition to the low-numbered copies, JNR100 members also receive the following: What you get: - One of the first 100 copies of every releases from JNR.* - Four exclusive releases each year, not available to the general public. - Advanced downloads, prior to public release. - Ability to request guest list spots for and JNR-artist shows in your area, the occasional online video chat with our staff and artists.  - Special JNR100 Merch (T-shirt, swag, record crate, others TBD). - Free shipping on everything (for US), and discounted shipping for rest of world. - 50% off anything from the JNR store (in case you want duplicate copies, or back catalog stuff). - Insider access, including voting on demos, participating in occasional JNR meetings, and an invitation to our annual holiday party in Indianapolis.  *Charity / Benefit releases are the only exceptions to this "every release" rule. In the event that we are doing a release to benefit a cause, we ask that the JNR100 purchase that release in order to support that cause. In such a case, you are welcome to use your 50% discount code. Also, there may come a time when we have an opportunity to release a really insane and extra high-value item that we will not be able to include with JNR100. We don't know what, when, or if this will ever happen, but in the event that it does, you will still have ample notice and early access to a hidden page on our website where you will be able to purchase it at a discounted rate. This has not happened thus far, but you never know what the future holds.   WHAT JNR GETS OUT OF THIS Basically, we view the JNR100 as our "inner circle" or "advisory panel". It's a way for us to bring our most trusted supporters into some of the decisions that help guide the label. JNR100 members are invited to help us decide on which bands to sign. It's a great benefit to us to bounce ideas off of our loyal supporters. It helps to keep the label on the right path. Like a fan-owned sports team or something. Furthermore, on a business level, the JNR100 members' willingness to commit to every release gives us the stability to take chances on new artists and potentially risky releases. Being able to count on a fixed number of "guaranteed sales" for any release allows us to take chances on incredible new music that might not yet have an audience. It allows us to keep our focus on the art, and not entirely on commerce. Lastly, it's important to us that our most limited / specialty releases end up in the right hands. With the JNR100 we know these releases will stay out of the hands of hawkish resellers.** Call us superstitious, but we think this music will do more good in the world if it's in the right hands. **We reserve the right to inquire and investigate if we suspect any JNR100 member is abusing his/her privileges by flipping these records at exorbitant prices. If you want to unload a particular release that you're just not that into, no problem. But seriously. You'll be booted in a heartbeat and socio-digitally tarred and feathered by your former JNR100 pals. COST Cost is $100/month—or $1,000/year (if you pay early)—and is inclusive of all other subscriptions and VIP fees. We know this is a significant financial decision, and it isn't for everybody. JNR100 members are almost like financial backers. It's a "trustfall" situation, and your financial support helps us to stay focused on the things that matter... Which is especially important in a financial landscape where banks no longer lend money (especially not to a purpose-driven business such as ours). If you're the type of person that already buys almost everything we release, we assure you this is a very fair price. In year's past, the total price has worked out to about a 20% discount, compared to what the cost would be if one were to purchase everything without the JNR100 Membership. So you can count on a roughly 20% discount, in addition to getting the low numbers and a bunch of extra perks. All of this said, if this price is a struggle for you, please put your real needs first. No one should go hungry for vinyl records.    SHIPPING US Members: You will continue to receive monthly shipments, and all shipping fees are inclusive of your JNR100 fee. However, if you order other items (back catalog, merch, etc.), you will be required to pay shipping fees for these additional items. Though you may still use your JNR100 50% discount code for just about anything. UK/EU/CA Members: Just as in 2021, you will continue to receive quarterly shipments (one shipment every three months). However in 2022, we need to begin charging for shipping. Each international shipment costs us $70-$80 for USPS Priority Postage. And frankly, we can't continue to eat these costs and be sustainable. Beginning in January 2022, monthly international members will have a $20 shipping fee added to each monthly payment. And yearly international members will have a one-time $200 shipping fee for the entire year. Please note, you're still receiving a 20-30% discount from what we actually have to pay to ship these records. But by chipping in for a portion of the shipping costs you're helping to keep JNR financially stable.  We hope you understand that this is a necessary change for us to make. Thank you in advance for being amenable, and helping to keep us sustainable.  If you have any questions, please email moose@joyfulnoiserecordings.com
