Thanks for considering joining the Mississippi CSR (Community Supported Record program). If you're reading this, the CSR is still alive!

If you choose to join, you will receive:

  • Every Mississippi Records release as it comes out, no matter how limited the pressing.

  • CSR member discount on all new releases

  • 10% off on all back catalog releases ordered through the website

  • Exclusives, schwag, one-offs and weirdos as they come around

The purpose of the CSR is to give people who don't live in Portland, or do not live at their local record store, a chance to get the more limited Mississippi releases. The CSR also gives you an opportunity to support our label in its mission to keep prices low, to make important cultural information available to those who care, and to support artists and their ancestors who have all too often been screwed by the mainstream record industry. We consider the CSR a partnership between ourselves and our customers. We will do everything in our power to honor the trust members put in us. We plan on showing appreciation to members by randomly including special free records and other schwag in packages, on occasion.

We have a handful of spots available!

If you are already on the waiting list, you'll hear from us soon (but feel free to write).

If you are a new member, please read on and sign up!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

You sign up for a membership here and add any amount of money, between $88 & $300, to your account. In exchange, we will send every Mississippi record that comes out until that amount of money is tapped out. By filling out the questionnaire below, you can customize what types of records you get (basically punk, international and Americana). An average Mississippi title will set you back between $14 and $16. If you sign up for this service, some specialty limited press items (usually 300 copies printed with fancy sleeves!) will be sent that could cost as much as $20. Shipping per unit will vary between $6 - $9 depending on how many records ship at once. If money is left over in your account that does not add up to the cost of a single LP, we will credit your remaining balance to your account.

International subscribers: Send an email to csr@mississippirecords.net to get the pertinent info.

*Please note that there is no regular release schedule. You will receive records as they arrive from the pressing plant. We try to put out at least one record per month, but cannot make any guarantees. Sometimes we will go up to three months without any releases and then suddenly put out ten records at once! If this type of chaos scares you more than it frees you, please please please do not sign up to be part of the CSR. Our track record is good and long, with over 110 releases in the last six years and we’re not going anywhere. If at any point you are dissatisfied with your membership in the Mississippi CSR, we will gladly send you a refund of your remaining money in it—no questions asked & no hard feelings.

QUESTIONS?

  • We are willing to dig around for past releases if you request them from us, but make no promises that we'll be able to fill your request. It's always worth asking. If we can't get it for you, the following stores often have some of our stock available (though I personally recommend checking your local physical record store first as the price will be nicer for lack of shipping expense and we should all support our local shops as much as possible): Little Axe, Dusty Groove, Domino Sound, Lagniappe, 360 Record Shop, Contact, Breakaway, Harvest, Reckless, Spin Cycle, Jive Time, Jankuland, Cabin Floor, Love Garden, Goner, Old Paint, Autumn, 1234GO, Hinter, Going Underground, Waterloo, Brickbat, Sweat Records, Deep Thoughts, 606 Records, Tone Deaf, All Day, Landlocked, Econojam, Honest Jons, Juno, Bongo Joe, Permanent Records, Wooden Tooth, End Of An Ear, End Of All Music, Audiopile, Dandelion, Steady Sounds, Angry Mom, a million discogs stores & on & on.

  • YES! If you include tapes in your preferences, we'll send new tapes as they come out. If you are looking for any older tapes, just ask, we may have em.

  • Absolutely!

  • Of course, but be warned that shipping on international orders is quite expensive. We accept Paypal from internationals, but understand that they charge fees for cross-border payments. For more detailed information and to sign up, send an email to csr@mississippirecords.net

  • We will only be sending out emails to confirm that payment has been received & to ask if you would like to receive or decline any items that exceed the $14 per unit price point. Otherwise, the only emails you will get from us are answers to emails sent to us! If you would like to bypass email/the internet completely, send a S.A.S.E along with your questionnaire and you will receive confirmation of payment via post.

  • We promise in that unlikely event that we will send you back all money owed.

  • We'll credit you whatever balance is left in your CSR account—no questions asked.

  • You can see your credit balance in your membership area. When you top it up we will see it!

  • At this time we are not accepting returns. At heart, it defeats the purpose of the CSR, which is a form of blind trust and support for the label. We recognize there is a lot of variation in the kinds on sounds we release and they aren't all for everyone, and that a record membership service can be a serious luxury! Again - if this form of chaos scares you more than it frees you, we are probably not for you and that's just fine.
