CatsNJazz Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 So, is the first batch shipping out on the original date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutzcory Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 There’s an explanation video on their Facebook. I can wait yay, screw the $500-$1000 eBayers, bet they’ll be cancelling some of those orders and some of us who ordered in the second batch will end up with some of those numbered ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic_ Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I don't think what he's saying is at all unreasonable. I'm happy to own a copy regardless, but I think it's dumb to try to say you have no grounds to be upset if you don't get the same product you originally ordered.

tokimedo Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) can OP update the thread title to PO NOW so people dont miss this ? also, FTR, if my order before it sold out isnt numbered, im not gonna throw a fit and be any less stoked on this. just would like to know wtf the ordered and if theres a difference so I know if I need to order the new PO as well.

ejc625 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I can’t imagine why you would need to order another copy. If anything it won’t have a little number hidden on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree, but it's such a minor thing. For me it's like when the mock-up of the LP variant ends up looking entirely different than the production copy, I just shrug and move on... mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus id have one to spin and one to keep fresh for when I inevitably spin the other into the ground, or to give as a gift to a friend down the line...which ever one comes first.

Stress On The Sky Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I don't remember the whole numbered thing being mentioned anywhere but here. Sure they said they were making 2000 available but I genuinely didn't see anything about them being numbered. Glad that even though me n my friends managed to snag a set each when they popped up early the band have done the only decent thing they could and decided to expand the pressing. Couldn't care less if there are numbers or if there isn't only 2000 in circulation anymore, as long as everyone gets a fair shake at getting what they want and the flippers and profiteers get fucked I'm happy. mcpherson123 and daegor 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it was limited shouldn't have been a selling point for anybody. It seems like the limitation was more of a fact of "we can afford to manufacture 2000 copies of this set with no prior knowledge of how many we can sell" and NOT that you were supposed to be comforted by the idea that you are 1 of a potential 2000 individuals who own a copy of this numbered item and are now part of this exclusive club and that the exclusivity itself should carry some sort of actual value or that it should be valued by the purchaser. That's baby shit. That's vinyl bubble and collector-mentality shit. Here we have a band whose merch provider fucked up. They saw then that the demand goes WELL beyond the 2000 units. To make their fans happy AND maybe make a bit more money off of a body of work that is a). deeply appreciated by so many b). specialized on a format that has gained popularity and exists in a niche market wherein the value of out of print materials sky-rockets and the scarcity forces fans to choose between nothing and a huge premium to enjoy the product, they press more copies without numbers. Why shouldn't an album be pressed in the numbers to satisfy the whole or at least the majority of the fanbase who prefer the specified format? This is the most self-centered problem to have with a vinyl record pressing. They're making more because bands like to sell albums. The vinyl format, especially a special packaging set of 4 LP's is very difficult to have pressed and to afford the production on. So they got the opportunity to see that they could sell more. So they're making more. GOOD! untiliwakeup, throwgncpr, Skacel and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Any post more than one paragraph in this thread I skip tbh. If mine's numbered, cool. If not, cool. If your's is numbered, cool. If you're upset your's might not be numbered, cool. If you're upset someone is upset there's might not be numbered, cool.
