Imagine accidentally releasing your album early and putting it on sale for .99 cents. Then to make matters worse, it was just one long track instead of individual tracks. Yikes! That is exactly what Ace Enders, frontman for The Early November, went through last night when his solo album, for whatever reason, was put on sale in that manner. Ace writes in a MySpace blog post,
“I would like to thank everyone for the overwhelmingly positive response when the record accidentally went up for .99 cents last night. It was not intended for the record to come out yesterday, or for it to be that price. I have no idea how the mistake happened, but crazy things happen sometimes. I know there were A LOT of people who ended up buying it and I really appreciate it. Unfortunately the record has to go back up to the regular price for us to be able to get out of the debt that self releasing a record has put us in. But here is what we’re going to do to make up for the mistake that happened last night. Next Monday March 22nd, the day before the scheduled release, we will be putting the record up so that anyone can download it and pay whatever they want for it. This way you can pay whatever you want, whether it be one dollar or fifty dollars. I always wanted to do something like this and I guess this is the universe’s way of giving me the opportunity to do so. I wish we could keep it up for .99 cents forever, but we just can’t afford to do it like that. Thanks so much for caring and supporting. I’m sorry for the confusion.”
