"man when they read this comment they are gonna cry so hard. nice one! "  if that wasn't you being sarcastic and was a compliment then i'll redact my statement.   at least it seems you have decent taste in movies.

Just when you thought that Blink, Brand New, and Coheed fans were the worst...here roll in all the new Radiohead fans panicking themselves over color vinyl here.

 

Thanks for keeping me busy as fuck approving all the n00b accounts that will likely be used here and never post again.

 

 

I'd throw Nothing's last record into that mix as well.

How likely do you feel that they'll pick a blue color wax that does not match the blue on the artwork at all??

I think we all need to have a moment of silence for the missed opportunity of coke bottle blue for this press.  I've always thought that would've been a perfect fit.

Honestly, the (translucent) blue they used for the mockups looks incredible. I'm guessing we'll get something like Weezer's recent blue album reissue though, which was great aesthetically (and, more importantly, sonically).

Seen an around on record store day too- they seemed to run into inventory issues then on hot titles just like the other stores, but haven't personally ordered yet.

Was just that last live link I could find for blue

These guys are in Aus and have the blue up for preorder (second link, bottom of the page). Again no experience of them personally, but comes in at about 46USD shipped to the US if anyone cares to give them a shot.

i've ordered from them from their existing stock before with no problems.

 

no idea about preorders, tho.

 

conveniently, it's about 5 a.m. over there right now, so cross your fingers...

$50 is super sweet! Where did you get that number from? Are we on the same page? Are we talking about the blue edition?

I'm guessing based on the previous Canadian user mentioned, but moreso making a statement on the Canadian market and how price-hiked things are up here. Everything is an 'import' so new 2xLP's generally go for between 30-40 now. Was just speculating that I suspect this reissue (blue or black) will be upwards of $50 in most Canadian stores... alongside a stark discount on the tons of 2xLP versions of this album still out there.

Redeye should be a good bet- only preordered there once, but it came through fine as have other stock orders I've placed

Truly.  I saw that mockup you posted and hit the included link (to Boomkat) with the utmost hype yesterday morning.  Not that it necessarily diminished, but I was a little perplexed when I saw "opaque" in the description.  I'm still hoping there's some major miscommunication or an error at the pressing plant(s), and they end up translucent or partially translucent.

 

I'm not familiar with that Weezer press you speak of, but I'm picturing an opaque baby blue color.  I'll have to check Discogs for photos and see if I'm close.

The blue Paranoid Android is beautiful. I hope this ends up turning out like that, but yeah, the descriptions say it's opaque.

I would gladly accept that over any opaque blue.  A true coke bottle would be the dream, though.  Bonus points for reminding me of the clear/blue Macs I used in elementary school around the time OKC dropped, too.  Not that I was listening to Radiohead at that time, but they were okay computers.  I guess.

 

Also, I really hope they don't end up resembling the marbled abortion that I'm seeing on Discogs, for that Weezer reissue.  Gross.

I don't trust anybody who has preorders up this long. So I'm counting on my order being refunded :)

You're right, I totally whiffed on that one and didn't remember how it turned out.

 

My ideal product would look like:

Or even more ideally:

But will probably actually look like:
