I’ve been waiting for this to get pressed forever

Right after my non-colored pressing shipped today
 
Not a pre-order, as this is already shipping, but this one should be of interest and I have not yet seen it posted.

The WalkmenBows + Arrows 2xLP (includes 5 bonus tracks)
Thanks! Been on my wantlist for too long. Not terribly thrilled about the $50 price tag, but it's about half the cost of the secondary market, and appears to be the tour variant with 5 extra tracks. Favorable reviews on Discogs as well.
 
which part was confusing?
@Indymisanthrope @Melt Face Molly Drop from wiki:
Scholz's reputed perfectionism delayed the follow-up album, Don't Look Back, for two years. When it was finally released, he was unhappy with the result, claiming that it was released under pressure from the record company.[13] Scholz then declared he would not release any more music unless he was completely satisfied with the final product. Consequently, Boston's third album, Third Stage, did not appear until 1986. That album was certified 4× platinum, and "Amanda" reached the top of the singles chart.[14] Scholz and Brad Delp were the only members of the original group to appear on the album.
With the money he earned working with Amy Grant and Shania Twain, he bought a house in Green Hills, Tennessee, and in it built a home recording studio.[8][9][17] In 1998, it led to the release of his self-titled solo album distributed by Not Lame Recordings.[9] It was co-produced by Millard Powers[8] and Jeff Balding. Doug Morris of Universal Music Group picked it and proposed the album to be rerecorded,[8] but Owsley insisted that it simply needed to be remixed by either Tom Lord-Alge, Bob Clearmountain or Andy Wallace. Tom Lord-Alge signed on,[8] together with J.R. McNeely.[18] The eponymous album Owsley got re-released on March 23, 1999, under Giant Records.
 
I mean, the common story is that tom scholz recorded all of the boston debut album at his home studio (except the drums) and they just told the label it was being done at the LA studio the label wanted. so i'm reading the story as owlsley recorded everything himself and then shopped the record around. i suppose prince might also have been another comparison point.
 
Also, isn’t every album shopped to a label as a take it or leave it deal? Genuine question, does this mean something other than what it appears to mean? I don’t get it.
no, not at all. most times albums are not even recorded/completed until bands are signed; most bands complete a demo to get attention and showcase that they have talent and are worth investing in and then they're usually signed to a 1 to 3 album deal (or 1 with an option for more, or 5 albums or whatever,) and then the label fronts the band the cash to record the album. the band is then in debt to the label foreverrrrrrr unless they hit it big and recoup vested costs in them (which then gives them independence and power from the label).
