Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

[NewsFedora]

Days like today I'm glad I'm only a "casual" Mars Volta fan whose interest pretty much began and ended with Deloused.

Although Frances is slightly tempting. $55 for a triple LP pressed at Optimal is... acceptable in 2021 I guess.

I will throw $15 towards your purchase of Frances because it's a god damn work of art.

I just picked up a new 4xLP Boxset from Deep Discount for $16.

 

[folsom_lives]

For me it's the $38 EP...

Yeesh

It was Garth Brooks, wasn't it.

30 Seconds to Mars confirmed.

 

[snoops]

Not justifying the price and I hate how everything has skyrocketed, but if you were in market for these albums this is a deal compared to what the box set is currently going for on the secondary market. ($700-800)


The Mars Volta Boxset

 

[scotthilk]

Welp, looks like I'm listening to MV all day.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

It was Garth Brooks, wasn't it.

LOL. Nah (though I do one a copy). It’s Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood, Jason Isbell - Live at Shoals Theater. I have not yet given it a proper listen but I am certain it’ll be much more play on my turntable than any Mars Volta album would.

With store credit Frances The Mute came up to $22.60 so I'm content

EDIT: $28 CAD

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

30 Seconds to Mars confirmed.

I would only be interested if it contained nothing but covers or Fozen Embryos songs

(That one was for all the My So Called Life Stans out there)

 

[Skacel]

How long before the exclusives are available to non-members?

 

[tonythegamer]

[nicechair]

How long before the exclusives are available to non-members?

48 hours I believe

 

[Skacel]

48 hours I believe

Thanks. Ended up subbing again didn't want to miss out on FTM, Amputechture and Bedlam.

Frances I completely forgot I loved back in the day until I gave it a listen yesterday and still have the CD kicking around in storage. I wish I had store credit to burn because that's the only one I'd pull the trigger on, but not at like $80CAD. No way I can justify that.

It was only $68 CAD
Just um... just in case anyone was wondering...

w/e...not gonna do it. Too damn high and all that.

 

[scotthilk]

Yeah this is just it. I have a crazy high quality boot of France's, got a OG Noctourniquet, and the effed up De'loused. I really only want Bedlam and Amputechture but like... I just KNOW GZ will have screwed these up.

EDIT- Not to mention, with the Clouds Hill pricing on these, add in the VMP bump for shipping and color... You gotta be thinking these are gunna be close to $80 USD per album.

EDIT EDIT- actually Clouds Hill price also include shipping soooo, let's say $70-75 per album from VMP.

EDIT EDIT EDIT - ALTHOUGHHHHH, Clouds Hill is based in Germany I believe, so they're were factoring in like $20 in shipping so MAYYYBEEE we're talking about like $50 per album for VMP...

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT - FIFTY FIVE PER FINAL ANSWER

Which FTM boot do you have? The 2LP red/blue one we talked about before?

I am spinning mine now to "make sure" I don't need to upgrade. lol

No I've got the 3 LP black Euro boot from 2015. It's the one that was kinda thought to have come from the scrapped MOV release that was apparently pretty close to final. It sounds pretty good considering the original vinyl release of FTM wasn't exactly stellar by all accounts. But I'm sure this new one will beat it. We'll see, I've bought very few albums recently so I'll take a shot
