Fragile is top 5 from my high school years, I own 300+ albums and I still can't bring myself to preorder this thing.. cause its pricetag constitutes 1/3 of my daily paycheck. If you make 87.5k a year you can prob afford this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchflowers Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) You can still afford it... its a really great pressing as others have said. My copy showed up flawless but I can see why others were destroyed. The packaging was pretty bad. Hopefully they take more care in the future.

Dustinhxc Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thats intense... I make 1/3 of that and I preordered all of the presses. Some the first day and then 3 more orders. Still waiting for the new releases to be available on there. Cant wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 18 minutes ago, ntslash said: I doubt he works 365 days per year. This right here. The math in this thread is killing me and making me want to correct this guy that only has 2 posts, both of which are nonsense. Firstly, the way the post is worded, downisthenewup87 is probably talking about the original recordings and not deviations (which is priced at $45) meaning they make around $35k/year. But if they were talking about deviations then they make around $62k/year. And neither numbers are near $87k/year. As a mathematician this is my only contribution to this thread other than stating how excited I am for the remaining reissues that most likely won't be available until 2018 at the earliest at this rate. downisthenewup87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Who gives a fuck how much some rando makes a year and how they spend their damn money. Let's get back to talking about damaged NIN records and the Sandbag shitshow. Yeah. That's the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck my math, ya'll are right- I just woke up thinking wait, dude doesn't work 365 days a year. Anyway, back on track- I'm away on vacation but can't freaking wait to spin this bastard when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Maybe they should have done a deluxe 'The Fragile' reissue 7 LP boxset that included Deviations with expanded artwork, proper box etc and charged $150 - $200 for it. I'm sure it would have still sold a bunch of copies. $80 for Deviations on its own is pretty steep for what you are getting. bigdz68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdz68 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Deviations should be here today. I don't even remember the cost but that kind of damage is unacceptable. After reading all these complaints, I know for sure I won't be preordering anything else vinyl related from their online store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Mine will be here today too and I'm sure those extra couple days in the post office's hands will make it even worse! The Prick vinyl i got a couple weeks ago was in an oversized mailer with bubble wrap. So I'm not sure wtf they were thinking with this.

That's pretty much what mine looks like, although I opened it. Still, I requested a replacement sleeve so we'll see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but I am talking about having a proper sturdy box for it and some actual artwork. Not a flimsy gate fold and a one sided sheet with track list. Also, buying them individually is $125 so $150 with proper packaging seems fair. Edited July 3, 2017 by Skacel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Submitted a damaged ticket as well since when I removed the shrink wrap I noticed a larger crease along the top half of the cover on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the current prices of them individually don't seem anywhere close to fair. They are still ridiculously priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
