I semi like Feist but definitely not $40 worth and I'm not a fan of the clear variant. The target exclusive of the boygenius album is one of the only albums from a major label artist I will own in my collection apart from blue weekend by wolf alice and rumors by fleetwood mac. I really wanted the blue variant but I wasn't spending almost $40 for a single lp even though the packaging is nice. If there wasn't a target variant I would have just ordered it from Amazon. I wish they were still signed to matador records but I'm guessing the only reason they are signed to a major label is because of Phoebe Bridgers. I don't want to support major labels because of how much they charge for albums but I love everybody in Boygenius so I had to buy the album. If it were $25 or $26 before shipping and around $30 - $32 that would still be a lot but I'd be ok paying that but not much more than that. I wish major labels weren't so greedy but they charge the high prices becauase they know that people will pay those prices. I can't think of a major label artist who doesn't charge a ridiculous price for their albums. If a album is going to be $40 for a single lp then I can usually live without it.Seems like mostly the going rate these days. Thankfully I don't like many major artists.
scooped this up so damn fastWhirr - Live in Los Angeles...
For all the shoegazers out there! All their records get gobbled up quickly. Not sure if this live album will be the same.

now I’m curious, so the Vmp one sounds like it was recorded by a toddler running around the room with a mic
It’ll be cheaper elsewhere eventually. Clear is the indie exclusive I believe. It’s $30 elsewhere and likely will be available at places like Plaidroom with free shipping or places with discount codes. There’s also a plain black version if you don’t care about the color variantsI love Feist, but $40 for a single clear LP is a little ridiculous.

Plenty of really awesome reissues at or close to $40 that are totally worth it IMO.$40 for any single lp is very ridiculous regardless of what label it is.
It’s somehow more palatable with reissues that are of audiophile quality (especially compared to $125!), but for new releases it’s hard to accept.Fair enough. There are just great labels like Intervention Records that put out wonderful releases that I’m fine paying $40 for. I don’t think most records are worth that though.
That’s a great distinction and I agree. I don’t buy a ton of new music on vinyl anymore and the price point is probably why…I’ll buy new albums if I know the records are pressed somewhere good/cut by someone good. There are only a small number of current bands and artists that I’ll buy vinyl from without hearing the full albums first.It’s somehow more palatable with reissues that are of audiophile quality (especially compared to $125!), but for new releases it’s hard to accept.
