The problem is that this is the most selfish, self-centered, self-important and self-gratifying way you could possibly look at this. The fact that it was limited shouldn't have been a selling point for anybody. It seems like the limitation was more of a fact of "we can afford to manufacture 2000 copies of this set with no prior knowledge of how many we can sell" and NOT that you were supposed to be comforted by the idea that you are 1 of a potential 2000 individuals who own a copy of this numbered item and are now part of this exclusive club and that the exclusivity itself should carry some sort of actual value or that it should be valued by the purchaser. That's baby shit. That's vinyl bubble and collector-mentality shit. Here we have a band whose merch provider fucked up. They saw then that the demand goes WELL beyond the 2000 units. To make their fans happy AND maybe make a bit more money off of a body of work that is a). deeply appreciated by so many b). specialized on a format that has gained popularity and exists in a niche market wherein the value of out of print materials sky-rockets and the scarcity forces fans to choose between nothing and a huge premium to enjoy the product, they press more copies without numbers. Why shouldn't an album be pressed in the numbers to satisfy the whole or at least the majority of the fanbase who prefer the specified format? This is the most self-centered problem to have with a vinyl record pressing. They're making more because bands like to sell albums. The vinyl format, especially a special packaging set of 4 LP's is very difficult to have pressed and to afford the production on. So they got the opportunity to see that they could sell more. So they're making more. GOOD!

Any post more than one paragraph in this thread I skip tbh. If mine's numbered, cool. If not, cool. If your's is numbered, cool. If you're upset your's might not be numbered, cool. If you're upset someone is upset there's might not be numbered, cool. DOESN'T MEAN WE NEED A THESIS ON IT.

I aske Daryl last night about the vinyl preorder. Me: So, when is the vinyl pre order going to be up, or is there even going to be a vinyl release? Daryl: Yeah, were doing vinyl, it will be up soon. Me: What does soon mean? You always say that! Daryl: *Laughs*

It’s up early. Just bought it now. Price is $65. Go!

Shirt and flexi’s are being given away at the listening party. Got 2 large shirts for the boards.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly AREidiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

We might as well keep this thread alive and make it an all-things-related type of thread. There's enough of us following who are interested in more than this one album. @Gumbo72203 should rename it...

Picked up The Great Milenko because #nostalgia. I bought it from the same record store I bought the CD from when I was 13.

Crazy thing I DIDN'T think of: the band is gonna make a shit ton of money off this mistake.

I don't remember the whole numbered thing being mentioned anywhere but here. Sure they said they were making 2000 available but I genuinely didn't see anything about them being numbered. Glad that even though me n my friends managed to snag a set each when they popped up early the band have done the only decent thing they could and decided to expand the pressing. Couldn't care less if there are numbers or if there isn't only 2000 in circulation anymore, as long as everyone gets a fair shake at getting what they want and the flippers and profiteers get fucked I'm happy.

Just look at your email confirmation and you'll know if you are in the first batch. THE ALCHEMY INDEX BOX SET (VERY LIMITED/2000) Quantity: 1 Price: $65.00

I don't think what he's saying is at all unreasonable. I'm happy to own a copy regardless, but I think it's dumb to try to say you have no grounds to be upset if you don't get the same product you originally ordered.

Also, who really gives a deep shit if its numbered?

[email protected] good luck, they have terrible customer service

I bought these on the chance they will be different from the australian version i just got. If the end up being the same i’ll probably sell my copies.

Lol what a cluster fuck & a shitty thing to fuck up.

I see Sandbag is up to their old shenanigans...

people are LOSING It on facebook. obviously not something to joke about but this dude did make me chuckle...

Man oh man people are PISSED Looks like it's legit sold out, Thrice edited the post and removed any reference to it being up at 10am. It's gone folks.

it's not surprising your reading comprehension is as basic and simple as the b.s. you spout around here...

I'm taking it @whoa!

Holy fuck that closing track. This EP is golddd.

We are live http://catalog.1234gorecords.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=99

you separated your sentences with a few hits on the return button bud, TLDR

I’m a Beatles fanboy but The Rolling Stones have exactly 3 songs worth listening to imo

R U 4 REAL?

Thank you so much for the heads up about the Vitus show, I kept looking at the venue page every day for an announcement and would have totally missed it without your post. Doesn't seem like the venue is going to announce it just yet.

What would be awesome is the first 2000 numbered, shipping in Dec. Remaining unnumbered shipping in 2018.

they should do the first round of 2000 as numbered and ship on original date and then do another press as the second round at a later date unnumbered. that would make everyone happy.

They meaning the band, on Instagram. https://instagram.com/p/Bb4rYCmB-zB/

Well, this sucks. I suppose that's what we get for taking their post about 10am PST seriously, eh? As someone who is all too familiar with Sandbag from the NIN debacle, this comes as little surprise.

people are fucking stupid

The IG post still says 10am.

So glad I checked VC when I woke up this morning

Couldn't sleep so got in line 6 hours early. First here and people just started showing up 2 hours before opening. I think I've found my new store!

You’re a troll . https://imgur.com/a/v97zx

Bundles down now too I'm betting someone woke up to a few hundred orders and went "SHIT" and pulled the stock. Yay Sandbag

Good catch, yeah these are definitely 10", 180g will be THICK as fuck

The album with the demos it's available on spotify since last year, you can hear it right now hahahaha

https://www.banquetrecords.com/at-the-drive-in/diamante-10"-[black-friday-17]/BF17BR88 Wasn't going to get anything but was browsing banquet and they had ATDI and Fleet Foxes so ended up getting those.

There are thrice fans out there, warm in their beds, with an alarm for 9:50am. Sad!

It’s been 15 years, right? People (and bands) change and mature in a decade and a half, no doubt. Daryl has seemed to tone it down a notch on the last couple of EPs, but a few of those tracks still have him going pretty hard. On a scale of 1 to “I’m so mad I’m going to change my username because I lost a debate on the internet”, how pissed off do you think Daryl will sound on Material Control? I haven’t listened to any leaked tracks or live videos so I’m genuinely curious.

BOOM! This was fucking sick, and I can't wait for the full version. https://www.revolvermag.com/music/watch-doc-cult-luna-julie-christmas-epic-mariner-collaboration

I'm ready for this

Dude. I still love that album.
