chamb117 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 i also have zero problems with SRC. i think people mostly question or denounce their standing as a "label" and get miffed at their high prices, the latter of which is understandable but hardly avoidable these days. considering the got say anything's IDOTG pressed (and accidentally sent me one of each variant) i can't really complain. it really is all about clearance, though. also, $10 says deja also gets an "unlimited black" pressing. that thread will be an absolute shit show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 They probably released that little hint that teases Deja as a selling strategy for those Sub packages and well, looks like it's working.

Princess Logan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I mean, if I had $300+ to drop comfortably, I'd probably swing it on the chance of Deja being their first release for 2014. Unfortunately, that is very far from the case and I'm just crossing my fingers that a.) if Deja is released it is handled better than TDAGARIM b.) there are enough copies to go around so I'm able to nab a copy c.) I just want the option to cry to Play Crack The Sky in every format possible, is that so much to ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I guess I'm the only one that does have a problem with SRC then, from the fact that they don't communicate with the bands whose albums they license (see Hum) to the fact that they somehow get stock of Record Store Day releases every year and put them up for sale online on Record Store Day, to the fact that they sold copies of their TDAGARIM variant on Amazon for $10 extra after they "sold out", to the fact that they put up preorders for albums before labels even announce releases just so they can be the first in line to take your money (several labels have called them on this), to the whole SRC subscription deal from earlier this year where in exchange for paying well above regular price for a bundle of 6 or so unrelated releases, you got some assorted trivial bullshit like 24 hour exclusive access to preorders and a fucking obi strip. They're in it for the money, mining the music underground for its vast deposits of weak-willed nerds who care more about getting their high school CD collection on vinyl than they do about who's behind it all and what their ethics are. videogamesandvinyl, Derek™, sacredheart and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gonna say that Hum and I think Sum41? aside, you're very wrong about this. Jonah and Far knew about the pressings and approved the product. Walter and Quicksand had input on both Slip and Manic Compression, and helped out with both releases. I spoke with them on tour and they laughed at any "shady" bullshit that people were trying to spread. They were even selling copies given to them by SRC on the tour. Walter personally worked alongside SRC for Rival School's Found and the band worked very close for the United By Fate repressing. As much as 6131 would like you to believe the opposite, Peter of Handsome knew about SRC and their pressing of the record. He's even been promoting it himself on Facebook. I, for one, am glad to finally own YPAA. I'd rather that over sitting in front of my computer trying to get in quick to buy damaged copies.

Robert_Sofa Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Was there a 2013 subscription? And if so, what releases ended up being on it? Was it worth it retrospectively? Or is this the first time SRC is doing a sub like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindovermatter Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Serious LOLZ at the folks who think their releases are just "kinda pricey." I struggle to think of another company out there ripping off so many collectors at such a quick pace. Act quick: I hear that this year's sub will come with a FIVE mil poly sleeve! Support labels that give back to a community, release original music, and offer it at a reasonable price. There are TONS to choose from! Besides, as it has already been said, all of these $RC releases are easily found down the road at a fraction of the price through other avenues. onlettingjoe, sacredheart, toomany45s and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 My theory, it's not Deja. Unless for some reason they just aren't allowed to announce it yet. You don't know you are pressing Deja and not say it, especially if you want to sell 200 $300 subscriptions. Hobbes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacredheart Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Whats with all the people saying the price of this is worth it if it has Deja in it? You can get an original Deja for less than this. Also, I tend to agree with Juan. Remember when everyone thought that the Rival Schools release they did this year was going to be something huge when they were hyping it, and then everyone was all let down that it ended up being Rival Schools? And why wouldnt Triple Crown put it out themselves? Why would they pass on the other gold mine they are sitting on? Edited: Removed section where I confused TCR with something Iodine did.

somethingvinyl Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So many people are gonna be butthurt when it's not Déjà. Ha! And so many people will cry over the fact they they were told by someone via the boards that it was in fact Deja. But nobody from $RC has confirmed nor denied Deja.
