Pre-Order Thread

I hear you...but if I make the decision to go black vinyl only, then my OCD kicks in and I need to get everything I already have on black and I just cant bring myself to take on that project. My wallet also has an strong objection to that plan.

I just try and grab a colorway I like when the release goes full-Black Pumas at the pre-order stage.

Yeah, I am kinda like that too I suppose though I getting better at fighting that urge.

This is part of the reason I keep moving further and further away from colored vinyl. It’s tempting when the colored wax is limited in some way (even if it’s still artificially created scarcity) but when there are 13 colored variants, what’s the point? Might as well save some coin and just grab a copy on black wax.

I feel this. My reaction to the artists who put out a crazy number of variants is slightly different though. Basically it has dramatically decreased my pre-ordering. When I see so many variants drop I just loose interest in all of them, and then I just think, well, I'll wait for the album to drop, stream it, and if I want to own it on wax I'll grab either black, or one of the variants. This has been a positive development because when I get around to buying the vinyl I can check in on reviews of the pressing and see if it has sound issues, making an even more informed decision.

All of this, the variant craze definitely has curbed my FOMO for a lot of releases, after I found myself with like 10 different Polygondwanaland variants (not my proudest moment tbh)

Unless the black wax is the most limited 😉.

I got the Newbury orange because I think if looks the best and needed something to get to the free shipping threshold.

I have two on preorder and I need to choose but looking at that chart of all the variants makes me want to just get the black one.

I agree. I’ve bought more plain black vinyl in the past year and a half than I used to because at the end of the day I want to listen to the music. As for the variants, I don’t understand the logic behind why one thing is out of 300, another 700, another 2000, this one exclusive to this retailer another here. It’s a clusterfuck. I’m fine with bands having 1 or 2 exclusive/limited colored pressings along with a standard black. But anything more than that is just excessive.

I am old enough to remember when colored vinyl was actually rare and I still really enjoy it for the added sensory experience.

Are you me? But, if I hadn't done that, how would I have known that the Aural Pleasure pressing is the absolute best? I couldn't have known, and it would have haunted me. That being said, I still have way too many copies of that album.

Honestly not sure if these are a restock or I just was dumb and haven't googled well enough lately, but Acoustic Sound has Gin Blossom's New Miserable Experience in stock. It's going for a pretty penny on Discogs so I was happy to find it there. Sorry if this isn't news to anyone else but thought I'd share in case.

Man I love this album so much. "Found Out About You" was a song I picked for our wedding reception playlist.
