I know their pre-orders usually have multiple variants and they go fast, but not on this level. Something tells me we will see more available as someone mentioned. I mean..Julien Baker's variants got snatched up in maybe 30-40 and she doesn't have as wide a fanbase the Gizz. Plus people were already chomping at the bit after the Thee Oh Sees drop this morning. I can believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBlue325 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) There are 1000 copies and this is a 40-50 dollar purchase for most people who already dropped 30-40 on the Oh Sees. Not to mention they already gave Gizz $100 of there money this year haha...we'll see if more end up on the site I guess.

OldKentuckyShark Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hopefully this is where Flightless puts up another first pressing version that's a hell of a lot more interesting than white vinyl cobannaboc, ethereal and natenomm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I wasn't going to order from Flightless because of the insane shipping to the US, so I was paying attention only to see how fast the white sold out.... 13-14 minutes is how long it took. there's GOT to be a lot of copies that'll be added back in.

icecream Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 7 hours ago, youspinmeround said: How does leaking your own album in 2017 create hype for a band? Especially one that is established already Most artists are barely surviving. I don't think taking a potential purchase away from a consumer because they"already have it" works for the artist or label. While it might make a few newcomers go out and buy a record, most people are in the digital realm and a leak takes away a purchase. Murder was also the largest pressing for any record that Flightless ever did, band has been hyped with the 5 releases in 2017 since late 2016 and tours the world on a regular basis. A leak would seem to take away from the hype of release, not add to it. Especially in our day and age where most people forget about things a week afterwards Because if they don't someone else will.

GoBlue325 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Doesn't it make you wonder why none of these are on eBay yet if they sold out? It would be a given that they'd be on there immediately if people secured orders I would think. I'm probably just being overly optimistic...

A lot of flippers probably ordered multiple and are waiting to see if they get canceled on. Still surprised that a single one hasn't popped on there yet.

Well the good news is that more of (Thee) Oh Sees copies are going up in the future. Flightless may be content to let this LP stay a flippers paradise.

GazHilarant Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Someone on facebook was worried their order may be cancelled because they ordered 2, they emailed Flightless expressing their concerning and were told no worries, they can have 2. So for anyone who missed out looks like more will not be going up :(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least that explains a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
