Redeye Indies Only Product

Redeye Indies Only Product Redeye has created a monthly street date to release your limited quantity and limited edition items. Any sort of special item can be marketed on this date. A cool pre-release 12 inch vinyl, a split 7 inch with awesome bands, special previously mail-order only items, or perhaps leftover tour stock, can all be placed into this program and sold under special terms (low cost, one way, etc).

Redeye Indies Only Product is promoted on the first street date of each month via the printed catalog and a dedicated eBlast to all pertinent retail partners.
