Pre-Order Thread

If it were like $50 or less I would seriously consider it. Not necessarily to listen to but it would be a neat piece to display on a shelf. The box is nice too.

"Kids get in here, kids...put down that gd Switch...kids come here and hear how we listened to indie, we called it COLLEGE ROCK back then, over beer and pizza"

I was trying to find the track listing but seems weird. The original is on 1 album but close to 50min all together. The reissue from 2017 is a double album and came with a cd of bonus tracks. Not sure if they are including the bonus cd tracks and then splitting it up over 4lps

I’m hoping this pressing is better than what Sony has already put out. I’ve been holding out for Mondo.

Call me maybe?
 
The only reason I made any comment about the limited nature was that they seemingly pulled the rug out of those who thought they were getting something more exclusive for being first in line. I'm allowed to be mildly annoyed by that and share that with anyone else who may not have known and could be more annoyed about it than me. You bothered to poke your nose into the Pre-order thread which is arguably the most "toxic" in your opinion. So my question was why? You come in on a high horse for what? We all love music, that's why we are here. Some of us love collecting AND music, that why we are here. If you wanted to make a broader statement about "the industry" it didn't land the way you intended and felt more like an ad hominem to parts of the community here (or at least that's they way I am taking it).

I think the conflict here is that the collecting
part of the vinyl hobby is directly affecting those of us who care more about the music part. Basically, record companies are capitalizing on the fact that enough people care enough about collecting, so they (the industry) are able to put out limited, color vinyl and charge more for it… and enough people (collectors) are willing to pay the premium. That dynamic screws over the music fans who would be happy to pay $20-$25 for a slab of black vinyl, with no frills, containing the music we want to listen to.

I get that some people are angry when they pay premium prices for something they thought was limited/exclusive and then see that release get widely distributed, but from my point of view the people who are willing to pay that premium for something that could/should otherwise be available for much less are very much part of the problem.

No one likes to be called out but that’s what this is. If enough people are willing to pay $180 for a dumb 5-single-sided-LP set of a single Tool, then that distorts the market and tells artists/record companies that they can get away with ridiculous, overpriced gimmicks. And that in turn screws over those of us who just want to buy music on vinyl and couldn’t care less about the color of the slab or whether it’s limited to 2000 copies. The whole concept of “limited” is stupid and greedy and selfish.

(I admit I’ve had a couple of beers before posting this so words are just pouring out. I apologize in advance for any offense taken.)
