Why?

Alex Unger began recording his own songs onto a cassette deck in 1999, and discovered it was therapeutic. In 2004, JES was officially formed to help people record music that might otherwise not find its way to listeners in the profit-driven world of modern popular music. We aren’t really a record label - the CD-selling aspect of JES is just a storefront, a little grocery store with offerings of what we really enjoy, homemade music.

As for why we use CDR’s: yes, they degrade over time, after roughly 4-7 years they’ll be dead. We expect most people to save them digitally to their computers, mp3 players, etc. We use CDR’s because they allow us to give you the same fidelity as real CD’s at less than half the price of manufacturing commercial CD’s.
