RLP New Digital Store with Full Resolution Downloads
Rodriguez Lopez Productions has launched it’s very own Digital store – we don’t think it’s right not being able to get the full resolution files so we took matters into our own hands and found a great way to offer the albums the way we want, with our own store Now you can choose how big a file you would like from MP3 to Flac and or Apple Lossless and the prices are much lower too – with no middle man – all money collected from this go straight to the artists and to the fund to continue being able to record albums, put them out and to make more films and run the community of RLP so the prices for the downloads even give you an option to donate a bit more if you like – but that’s not so much the point as our continued effort to strip away the middle men that have driven up the prices of music while lessening the quality of the sound – so we hope you enjoy and also know that we will be putting up specials downloads of live recordings and such that will only be available at the RLP Digital store so keep an eye out.

Every one of the albums are up there now, including Cryptomnesia and Old Money for only 7$ Also, you can stream the albums in their entirity from the players at the store and feel free to click on the Share buttons to post tracks to whatever you like

Please NOTE: to download the higher resolution files you need to click on Audiophiles and Nerds selection in the drop down box then all the other options will appear, we have also opened a digital store for De Facto and Zechs Marquise below are all the links to the new stores

we are currently setting up our own Digital store for all of Omar’s titles as well as DeFacto – where you can download the albums in any resolution you want from MP3 to FLAC and everything in between and they will all be much less expensive than buying on itunes with minimum donation being only $5 -$6 an album – Despair is up already and I’m putting up Megaritual right now soon all the older albums will be at this link.

and for the first time ever the full length version of Omar & Damo Suzuki’s – Please Heat This Eventually is available here in full resolution all 24:49 minutes for a suggested donation of only $1.99

the digital stores will all soon be up at the RLP Store but until then this is the link Directly for RLP Digital Store

De Facto digital store will be at this link De Facto Digital

we will not however be able to put up ALL the titles – the ones that came out on labels other than GSL or RLP we might not be able to post this way, I’m working on it – so don’t come yelling about the missing ones. I’m doing my best to get as many up there in highest quality because that is what matters
