copelandkid Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 how the fuck are these things $35?maybe because it's Lucky Number (UK) pressing them. don't know much about them, but they certainly have exorbitant LP and shipping prices. Alex himself doesn't seem like the kind of guy to scalp his fanbase (which is by and large North American…). kind of a shame, especially since it won't get the loving / colored vinyl Orchid Tapes treatment.torn on whether to buy or not… much rather give Alex and co. my money directly… mixed feelings. batnoises 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say who are these Lucky Number folks anyways did he just get singed by them because they just pressed DSU too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erthan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The Lucky Number press of DSU is/was pretty easily available from third party sellers on Amazon so maybe I'll wait for that for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copelandkid Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Say who are these Lucky Number folks anyways did he just get singed by them because they just pressed DSU too i always assumed he signed the UK/EU rights to them for DSU while planning to maintain a partnership with Orchid Tapes in the US. seems odd someone as successful as he would enter into an exclusive deal with a non-North American label. makes very little business sense. perhaps we'll see an announcement from Orchid Tapes soon. with Haze Tapes and Birdtapes (who released the original runs of TRICK and RULES on tape) both dissolving, i guess it makes sense there was never a netlabel / indie label push to resurrect these records. hmm.

betawaves Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Will buy, but I think we can all agree that OT needs to handle the aesthetics with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Will buy, but I think we can all agree that OT needs to handle the aesthetics with these. Every copy is pressed on whale grey and sprayed with wet dog scent. kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corey. Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'll probably order regardless cause I want these. Waiting for a cheaper option sounds cool but risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisskitty Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Wow Trick and Rules. Wish Easy was on vinyl too; Think takes me way fucking back.But this is honestly too expensive imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalatapes Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I doubt a record label is going to keep all 1k of each pressing in their warehouse. Wait for Amoeba, Bullmoose or call your local shop to see if their distro will have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 i'm waiting for the Orchid Tapes pressing tbh, or until i cave later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copelandkid Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'll probably order regardless cause I want these. Waiting for a cheaper option sounds cool but risky. they won't sell out of 1000 that fast. you could wait a few days and see what US options arise, if any. at the very least, i'd expect Lucky Number to distribute somewhere in the US, like wildflange mentioned. corey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewmadore Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 From Facebook: Nate Wagner will there be a US label releasing or distributing TRICK and RULES? SANDY Alex G so far it doesn't look like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
