stl_ben Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 yeah 10k sounds like too much since they are now sold out on Asthmatic Kitty (some still on his band camp) 10,000 is more than the standard run of Most regular releases. edit - now it says 377 are available.

timsimmons Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It keeps going in and out of stock. It said sold out at my first go through. After 4 tries I got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Probably keeps "selling out" because assholes people keep putting them all in their carts to find out how many are left. joshman150 and jack8urt0n 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunkilmoonfan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 There is going to be a UK version on white that is limited to 1500. If anybody cares to pay 15 pounds to ship a record, go for it: http://www.lostinvinyl.org/preorder-now/sufjan-stevens-carrie-lowell-ltd-white-vinyl-lp-release-date-30th-march Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 According to that they made 10,000 clear and even more on black vinyl, 20,000 + pressed....there was only 5 records that sold more than that in all of 2014. Those numbers don't sound right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkilmoonfan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I've got my fingers crossed that Bull Moose (or Amoeba) lists it today and I can get more favorable shipping costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 10k is probably the worldwide number. I think AK knows, by now, how many copies of a new sufjan album will sell. Especially when they do high quality pressings and sell them for $13. (You know, how much records are supposed to cost). Plus he did say "we're pressing more black than clear". AK keeps their stuff in print. With this many being pressed, I'm expecting a big tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillalivetui Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Was heavily debating whether to jump on that clear. But bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraFox Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 AK replied to me on FB when I asked about an EU clear: "The clear variant will be available in EU through your normal record purchasing channels James." So don't think the clear will be too limited. Hopefully (for me). Thanks for finding that out. AK did the same with Enjoy Your Rabbit and I didn't know they were doing that when I ordered it from their site. There is going to be a UK version on white that is limited to 1500. If anybody cares to pay 15 pounds to ship a record, go for it: http://www.lostinvinyl.org/preorder-now/sufjan-stevens-carrie-lowell-ltd-white-vinyl-lp-release-date-30th-march The listing says: This white vinyl LP is limited to just 1500 copies in the UK and is only available from independent retailers such as ourselves. Which to me says there may well be more than 1500 copies; that is just the number on sale in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosley Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I have a love-hate relationship with Sufjan. I find his music can be amazing, but sometimes his personality is obnoxious and pretentious. But I can definitely get behind pricing a new album at $13. Good on him/the label for that. I guarantee he sells more copies because of the price. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Also... who cares how many are pressed? Let's just enjoy the new music. Labels that press enough for everyone at reasonable prices > Labels that intentionally don't press enough to drive up prices.

stillalivetui Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yeah props for charging only $13 for this. I'm digging how the album art and insert are personal to Sufjan. Excited to hear this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Pitchfork Fest headliner probably. he's never really been the festival type but pitchfork has a way of getting some acts no one else gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
