Buy Shares In An Album

[update] spoke with Stephen from the band and the PayPal link is thus - https://www.firstofthegiants.co.uk/paypal.html .  

This novel idea for getting an album off the ground was sent to my by a pal this weekend. In a nutshell, you can buy up to 3 shares at £5 a go from a band called FirstOfTheGiants.

Depending on how well the album sells, you can trade or sell your shares for a profit or just sit on them happy in the knowledge that you own part of a band for a few quid. 

You can get the full details on the post Share our band on their blog or follow them on Twitter. Shares can be bought through PayPal (though I couldn’t find a link so emailed them) and in terms of what a shareholder gets, here’s the lowdown

• Shareholder certificate
• 3 high quality MP3 of the currently recorded songs and limited edition artwork
• Their name on the finalised album artwork
• Free entry to the album launch show
• Regular sales updates via email (and text message if desired)
• First call on future share offers
• Overwhelming glow of helping out an independent record label and band

Should you be inclined, you can get a full prospectus from itoldthemabouttheshares@firstofthegiants.co.uk

Good luck fellas….now where do I send my £15?
