IceClownfishWok Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I know this will probably upset some people- but this is simply a feeler. To many including myself this vinyl set is mythological, and unobtainable. For those who may be confused I'm referring to the 3 LP collection released by Photo Finish Records consisting of: Lucy Gray (Blue) , LOWCOUNTRY (White), Envy on the Coast (Green) To be clear-I do not work for Photo Finish and am not part of the band. That being said: I want to get an idea if people would actually preorder a re release of this vinyl set at $75-$100 a set. I am currently working on making any move I can to get this rerelease to happen and I thought this may be the next step; any and all support is appreciated. This came about because I'm tired of people exploiting the rarity of these vinyl for ridiculous money on eBay etc. I don't want to wait for a special record day rerelease where 250 people got up and camped out first to buy stuff they're just gonna resell for stupid amounts, just to leave those of us who have been searching it out still empty handed. SO I understand that EOTC is not opposed to a rerelease, but the label is the determining factor as to when that could or would happen. Before I reach out to the label (again), I would like to have an idea of how much interest there is and how much money they could realistically rake in for a rerelease. If you honestly would preorder a set of these or know people who would show them this post. Comment with something as simple as: "Would preorder X amount" at $75/set I would personally order two just to have one mint and one to play regularly but maybe that's just me. If we get enough attention maybe PhotoFinish will see this and consider it sooner. Here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmognole Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Um, $75-100 for a 3LP set? No thanks. I'll pay at most $50, because more than that is just inflated prices. We're talking about 2 albums and a 5 song EP. I wouldn't even care if they were colored or black. These are records that came out so long ago, I've completely forgotten about them at his point. I support this, but to me your suggested price is an exploitation. If they came with demos or whatever? Then sure, that price might be worth it. Also not trying to sound like a huge prick, I just don't understand how you arrived at $75-100. So to comment correctly: I would pre order 1 at $50.

thedillon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 your user name is very confusing. Also on this... I would pay $39.99 for said package. Just like I paid for the appleseed cast 3LP set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewfro Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Definitely in for a re-release of EOTC vinyl. The last two I saw on ebay went for 160 and 275, and I ain't about that life. I'm pretty sure the $75 price tag is because that's what the bundle originally sold for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceClownfishWok Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 I get where you're coming from and my pricing was solely based on the price of the original set, and yes I do want them for cheaper but $75 is reasonable for the set compared to the prices people ask now. (And that's only $25 per vinyl which is not all that abnormal for colored vinyl). $50 would be awesome, but I also do not know what the set came with originally or anything like that. Thanks for your input, but again it is a feeler and I'm just a guy like everyone else so making this happen will not be as easy as if I were part of the label or something. I posted this for input and I appreciate the feedback- Keep in mind I am not the enemy though. I am also sure that the label is only concerned with making money, not that we as consumers get what we want at a reasonable price. More than anything I want this set and I would pay $75 maybe more depending if it came with digital downloads/stickers/a shirt/poster etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_James_Champ Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I love this band, very very much. This thread makes me angry. *throws table* That being said, I'd pay around 45-60 for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureIsOutThere Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'd do $50 for the 3xLP ...or you could sell them separately and let me just get the S/T and Lucy Gray (; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I need Lowcountry. That's such a damn good album. This really does need a repress. Photo Finish apparently just want to sit on this shit, even though it'll definitely sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberiankiss Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Lucy Gray is my white whale. I've been on a hunt for these records since early 2012 so I am definitely in for a rerelease. I would probably pay around $60-80 for the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_James_Champ Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Anyone else interested? Probably, but it's one of those "I want to make this happen" threads, and these are a dime a dozen. Most of time it leads to nothing but heartache. *holds back tears* onlettingjoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceClownfishWok Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Meh, based on my search for the past year or two it seems like everyone would wanna help at least by saying "hey lets do this I would order one" but I guess not as many people care that much. I literally got a message from the band saying: Hey [iCEClownfishWok], eventually we will do a re-release but it's really up to Photo Finish records as to when that can happen. You should maybe shoot them an email and see what happens. Cheers brother. -Brian So yeah the band is not opposed, so maybe I can solo this and get the label motivated? We'll see.

THE_James_Champ Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I tried emailing photo-finish some time ago, they don't even respond. And I'm certainly not saying you can't make it happen, I've just seen threads like this come and go with nothing to show for it. You know? I want it more than anything, but I am just one man, fat enough to count as two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'd be in for it, but not at that price like everyone said. I would say $50 at most for just a 3xLP. $20 for the full lengths and $10 for a one sided with B-Side Etching or something. But yeah I really appreciate even the thought.
