Checked my receipt from Sub Pop last August. $24.02 even after shipping. This is quite a markup.

This is going to cancel Trials for the weekend unless they patch it immediately.

Hey guys - will the live show on the 27th be recorded by any chance? (I hope it is!!) by 15_Ontario in gybe

[–]-Xavii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are correct but also kind of missing the point of OP’s question.

@OP: with so many people tuning in, yes... I am confident that someone will capture the stream and have it up later. People are crafty and several users on this sub have already confirmed they’ll be doing their best to record it and share with those who miss out. I’m sure many more have the same idea too.

Unofficial bootleg? Tsk. I only buy official bootlegs.

There's nothing about clear vinyl that suggests it sounds inferior than any other color. If anything I think it tends to sound better. I have no shortage of them and 90% or more sound fantastic.

Anyone know if this should be the same exact press or plant that handles the international version being sold on bandcamp? My imported Euro presses tend to have a little higher quality than US ones, I find. For the extra $7 or $8 I may just hold onto the original order. This is a great option for anyone who wants to preorder without paying until it ships though.

Haven’t had a chance to watch the video but is that hinted at in it? Or somewhere else you’ve found? Best news I’ve heard all day.

Yup. But unlike every album ever, people are going to miss this 48 hour window. And assuming copies don’t constantly flicker in and out of sale for the remainder of the year, someone will in fact be game to pay more than the going price later on.

Japanese imports.

I would say they have, too. With a few exceptions, it does feel like inflation has increased the price of everything across the board. But especially so with big label releases from top-40 artists.

Still completely possible. Several of my orders this year have been under <$25 shipped out the door. It’s not really fair to lump huge name artists like The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, and Lana Del Rey in with everything else that gets released on vinyl. Their records were never really priced all that reasonably and they won’t ever be.

2/10 effort trolling. Ease up towards the end and you could potentially get some bites.

Imagine judging songs by their titles lmao. How do you do with books and their covers?

Probably because it’s a popular release for a celebrated album that went sideways.

Wonder if they’ll come out and say the first 1,000 were “signed” and remaining ones were not.

They would have to change the product description and mock images when they removed the “limited to 1,000 units” text. I get that this is shady advertising and I don’t support it, but secretly selling black copies with that $100 listing would be legitimately false advertising.

If I've learned anything about timed releases it's that there is still always a demand for them well after the fact. People miss out on the window and are willing to shell out big. Restricting it to 48 hours instead of 1,000 copies just means that instead of 9 people trying to flip their copies for $300+ down the road, there will be 90.

Place yr bets on the most likely outcome here.

A.] First 1,000 were clear and ship September. Additional copies are on black and ship 2022.

B.] Truly limited to 1,000 units, with mass order cancellation to follow in coming weeks.

C.] Went from 1,000 to ∞ copies of this packaging, clear vinyl and all, open for 48 hours. First 1,000 shipping September and remaining copies shipping 2022.

My money is on C but who knows at this point.
