Vinnie Vincent Defends $225 Single as Peter Criss Disowns $1,000 Bandcamp Price

Vincent says the premium price deters bootlegging.

Overview

  • Vincent’s autographed CD single Ride The Serpent is up for pre-order at $225 for U.S. buyers and $300 for international orders on his webstore.
  • Public posts and listings conflict on the run size and pricing details, with references to both 500 and 1,000 copies and $300 versus $225.
  • Vincent said he disabled comments after complaints about the price and argued the high cost is meant to protect his work from bootleggers.
  • The track is billed as the first release toward a new Vinnie Vincent Invasion album, with plans to issue further music as collector-focused singles.
  • Separately, Peter Criss said a $1,000 Bandcamp download price for his new album was set by Flatiron Recordings and directed fans to other outlets.
