jrodan Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) there is literally a 0% chance that these won't be available everywhere. i remember when i ordered MBV the night it went up for sale because i was so afraid it would go OOP. i have had so many opportunities to get a copy for like $20 or sometimes less in the last year. if you have patience, you don't have to spend $40 a pop on these.

Derek™ Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Just now, jrodan said: there is literally a 0% chance that these won't be available everywhere state. i remember when i ordered MBV the night it went up for sale because i was so afraid it would go OOP. i have had so many opportunities to get a copy for like $20 or sometimes less in the last year. if you have patience, you don't have to spend $40 a pop on these. Basically this. Secondary Amazon sellers and Discogs will eventually have these for way less than cost + $18 shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 remember when urban outfitters was selling MBV for $10? still makes me sad to think i could've bought 2 more records for the price difference of what i paid direct from the band and what UO eventually sold it for.

I got my MBV from one of those flash sales (Deepdiscounts?) for like $6, bundled with a bunch of other discounted, new records with cheap shipping. I doubt I’d get that lucky with these reissues, but yeah. Good times. Considering the popularity and demand of Loveless, at the very least, I can’t imagine these will be tough to track down.

tonyfranciosa Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 some folks on the Steve Hoffman forum have reported these are shipping. still no sign of being able to order elsewhere yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I thought I read somewhere that mBV said their site is the only place will be available for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That's what the word on the street is. That still doesn't mean that 3rd party Amazon sellers and-or Discogs sellers won't have these available at some point, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I’m sure they will. But I can see them not getting it until March/April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSchwimmer Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 They have specifically stated that it will only be available on the website unfortunately for those who are hoping to save on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The availability on these aren't too concerning to me at all – I plan to wait out a deal even if it takes a bit longer. I understand that not everyone has the same patience though.

NapalmBrain Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 still not in my distro at work today, was doing my weekly order for LP/CDs. I think I'm going to wait until these get into peoples hands, I'd think at least a few shops ordered direct if nothing else and someone will have these for sale stateside, I just didn't want to do what I did for m b v and have had the option to wait 2 weeks and save $15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondfarewell Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Has US shipping always been $36 for the bundle? Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) If they are charging that much for shipping to the US, there's no way this should take 28 days or whatever they claim on their website. Economy shipping for 2 records from the UK should not cost $36 in any universe. They better be using some kind of express/priority delivery.

bluescreenlife Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Anyone overseas pick up Loveless today? Dying to know how it sounds. Mine says it was dispatched on the 15th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Nope. Kida shitty especially since the shipping was $20. Hopefully the people who paid $3x get it quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Someone from the UK I follow on IG has had this for at least a week, and I asked him how this version of Loveless compared to his other vinyl -and he has a decent setup - no answer from him and a bunch of people 'liked' my comment. It seems many folks are interested in this verdict. I love this album (and Isn't Anything), but I can wait another 2 years if necessary to get it for a less than current price due to UK shipping. "MBV" just never really clicked, not bad, but I'd have to find a $6 deal like Derek. I also doubt my current TT/cart/stylus is good enough to detect a difference, but I might be wrong. Our ears only know digital/CD. Planning on a TT upgrade eventually since it seems I am back into vinyl for the long haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah they can fuck off with their shipping and exclusive-to-website purchase, I'll pick this up if it pops up locally or for a reasonable elsewhere online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSchwimmer Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I understand that the shipping is expensive but I do hope you realize that is the actual price they are paying to ship, they aren’t jacking the price up and making money off shipping. That’s important to note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
