Visionbuilder Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 This is my first time posting on a website like this, any help at all would be hugely appreciated. I am just getting into vinyl and so far Ive got a few records under my belt, but my favourite album of all time is m83's Saturdays = youth. For the last few days I have been going over page after page of google searches in hope of someone selling and the only one I have found is on discogs thats going to cost me $140. So I wanted to ask some people who would know what they are talking about if that is my only option, or is there another way I could get the album for a less dramatic price (relative to my other records). Again, any help would be hugely appreciated. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 According to popsike you should be able to find one around the $50 mark on ebay: http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=m83+saturdays&incldescr=&sortord=ddate&thumbs=&currsel= Search for it on ebay and click on "follow this search" so you'll receive an email when a copy pops up.

abovetheearth Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Someone here got it in eBay recently for a steal. You're gonna have to become a hunter. Patience. Stalking. Waiting. Could take a week. Could take a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh shit, it's OOP? Interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onwardempire Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh shit, it's OOP? Interesting... I wasn't aware of this either. Rather unfortunate as I really like the album and have passed up on it several times for what would now be a steal. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather unfortunate as I really like the album and have passed up on it several times for what would now be a steal. Oh well. I bought it like two years ago back when we got nearly free records via best buy, i may have listened to it once. had no clue it had value beyond retail price. i like them a lot i've just rarely been in the mood to listen to it as a whole album. much prefer dead cities Visionbuilder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 God this is one of my favs. Fuck if it has value. Visionbuilder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimoswim Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 this is one of those artists who i'm glad i got into before people starting flipping records that were pressed in quantities of thousands for absurd prices. i'm pretty sure there was a big repress of his discography around 2009/2010 and i was able to pick them all up locally. it sucks that people are asking that much though considering its not very limited Visionbuilder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 yeah, it's weird. it always shocks me when huge pressings that seem "unlimited" like this just happen to run out, and the label just doesn't keep the flow going Visionbuilder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Fox Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just be patient and keep hunting. I payed $15 shipped from an amazon seller sometime last year. That was a sweat deal in my book but I'm sure you can find it reasonably priced if you keep looking. Visionbuilder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I feel like I always see copies at Amoeba and record stores in the bay area. If I ever s top by and see one I'll try and grab you one and sell it to you at cost. Visionbuilder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJoe Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Jesus, glad i own M83' entire collection. Good luck, and if you ever get the chance, see them live! Ive seen them about 5 times and they are amazing. Although the older shows were defiantly a little more special.

Visionbuilder Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks for so many reply's guys. m83's albums are all great in my opinion. I was interested as well as to why they are so hard to come by. Do you think they just didn't press many? Ill keep my eyes peeled as you've said and just wait. But when that copy finally shows up, I'm going to pounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudsbelow Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 i thought they like just reissued it? *guess not.. just wait a bit and it'll get repressed. m83 must be almost due for another album and that'll help push along a reissue.

slinch Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 They did recently reissue Dead Cities and Before the Dawn, but not this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 And at the rate it took for those, this could be repressed as early as 2025. TheGhostOfRandySavage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessA2295 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Mee too. Love this album, I don't know why I never got around to purchasing. I just saw it around a lot so I figured it wouldn't be hard to get, but nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillwill Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 glad I picked it up when it was first released. m83 albums always get repressed, I think hurry up were dreaming is even OOP now? be patient, hawk ebay and you'll eventually get it. great pressing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
