Pre-Order Thread

Gonna try on a contrarian take for a sec just to see how it fits:

If 1000 copies of this (admittedly kinda cool-sounding) book were on sale for $50 and sold out in a day, and then were only available on the secondary market for a few hundo, none of which Wilco is ever going to see, would fans who would have liked a chance to purchase it be any happier?

$500 is a bitter pill to swallow, but the people who are going to buy it are going to be the people who really, really want it, and who are supporting the band (and, I assume, the book's artists) directly. Not speculators who see an investment piece that will languish on their shelves forever.

It's too much money. But I wonder if that was the rationale.

Fleecing is fleecing doesn’t matter which market is getting the lion’s share.

Personally, I find the retail market raising its price in reaction to secondary performance more distasteful than a flipper.

Give us a fair price every time. Secondary market will do what secondary market will and the reason I find Newbury distasteful (and Music Matters and VMP - although this is one of their lesser evils) is because they react to secondary market pricing.

If I ever get something from SRC Vinyl I would probably use a source like Bullmoose who have awesome customer service and can cancel items if I need to. Matter of fact I have an SRC pressing of You'd Prefer an Astronaut by HUM waiting to be shipped. It keeps getting pushed back. It was supposed to drop in May and my most recent email from Bullmoose said its now dropping in August...

For what it's worth, this is what Matt from the band thinks of the SRC re-issue of You’d Prefer an Astronaut:

"Hum had nothing to do with that re-issue. I’ve never heard it, and I don’t intend to listen to it."

Okay, going to blast out a bunch of pre-orders I've seen this week, but haven't seen here yet. First up...

Joyful Noise is reissuing the first 5 El Ten Eleven albums in a hand-numbered wooden box; each record in a different galaxy swirl

The self-titled album is also getting its own 15th Anniversary pressing for those who want it, but not the box (or for those who need to collect them all)
 
Love Wilco, but at times, it seems they just throw items out there with outrageous prices just to have a laugh at all those with the disposable income that feel the need to have items with the name Wilco attached to them. As a long-time fan, I do find it opportunist, although I certainly don’t knock those that purchase the stuff. To me it takes the luster off their music, their art form, and makes me see them more as just another money generator. A Random Money Generator...
 
Also, I see the vinyl industry as a whole fleecing the vinyl buying consumers. Special editions come in droves now, and are simply money makers. But hey, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. If you really only want the music, buy the standard edition. I always tell my wife my vinyl is an investment, but who’s zooming who. I don’t plan on ever selling. In fact, my granddaughter gets my music room in my will. She shares my love for music, and being a dancer, is always listening for her next song to choreograph. So, as I see it, I’m building a legacy of listening pleasure for her. That’s my investment.

Speaking of which...I received my Khruangbin Hasta El Cielo Dub limited blue version from Rough Trade/Latenight Tales....with a super nasty seam split. Even ripped through the outer plastic. About 2/3rds across the top.

Anyone have any luck with replacements from Latenight Tales?

Their CS was very good last time I ordered from them. Didn't have an issue with a seam split but had to cancel an order since I bought the VMP variant of Floating Points and forgot I had ordered from LNT and they were pretty fast at responding. Refunded my card.
