The problem is that this is the most selfish, self-centered, self-important and self-gratifying way you could possibly look at this. 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!

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. DOESN'T MEAN WE NEED A THESIS ON IT.

I aske Daryl last night about the vinyl preorder. Me: So, when is the vinyl pre order going to be up, or is there even going to be a vinyl release? Daryl: Yeah, were doing vinyl, it will be up soon. Me: What does soon mean? You always say that! Daryl: *Laughs*

It’s up early. Just bought it now. Price is $65. Go!

Shirt and flexi’s are being given away at the listening party. Got 2 large shirts for the boards.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly AREidiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

We might as well keep this thread alive and make it an all-things-related type of thread. There's enough of us following who are interested in more than this one album. @Gumbo72203 should rename it...

Picked up The Great Milenko because #nostalgia. I bought it from the same record store I bought the CD from when I was 13.

Crazy thing I DIDN'T think of: the band is gonna make a shit ton of money off this mistake.

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.

Just look at your email confirmation and you'll know if you are in the first batch. THE ALCHEMY INDEX BOX SET (VERY LIMITED/2000) Quantity: 1 Price: $65.00

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.

Also, who really gives a deep shit if its numbered?

[email protected] good luck, they have terrible customer service

I bought these on the chance they will be different from the australian version i just got. If the end up being the same i’ll probably sell my copies.

Lol what a cluster fuck & a shitty thing to fuck up.

I see Sandbag is up to their old shenanigans...

people are LOSING It on facebook. obviously not something to joke about but this dude did make me chuckle...

Man oh man people are PISSED Looks like it's legit sold out, Thrice edited the post and removed any reference to it being up at 10am. It's gone folks.

it's not surprising your reading comprehension is as basic and simple as the b.s. you spout around here...

I'm taking it @whoa!

ftfy

Bravewave just said that it would be sometime this winter, no specific date or time given.

I'm down with that. Seems a tad silly to have separates for British Theatre and Vennart being that all these post Oceansize projects garner interest from the same individuals.

You got me there. I mean, I don't mind if they press other colors too but yeah, I would appreciate if a long run was kept in print specifically on black vinyl for most releases. At least, for the ones that I actually want.

Well thats just good planning

really...?

I didn’t open mine yet, but I did notice it was released by Universal and not Fugitive like ‘Blind’ was.

Here's a thing that's $20 USD, link below.

If they did manage to get another pressing going to ship in early 2018, can I just say that's impressive to figure out in the space of a couple of hours? Even just a repress that's pretty amazing.

lol we literally all had the same thought at the same time

Maybe they took a page out of the Brand New "Science Fiction" book and the orders that were placed before the official on sale will be the special or numbered edition. My guess is the copies going up right now are already a repress of the reissue. Thus, the delivery in 2018 statement.

/all /vinyl /listen all work but there's nothing new in any of them yet.

niku with the swift roast

I haven't even heard anything from this album and this already bothers me haha.

Did they really think 2000 was going to be enough? Could probably print over 5000 and be in the money. If you choose any of the sizes it says "sold out."

Gonna be a shitnado my friend. They are all gonna begin to flow in.

seriously, thanks all of you for posting about this when it went up early! literally ordered it from bed

$96 shipped for 3 LPs is a tough fuckin pill to swallow. Gonna have to sit on this for a bit, if they sell out before I make up my mind then so be it.

ordered! If these sell out before they were supposed to go up, people are gonna be pissed

Got the Below The House test!

Can you elaborate on this, I don't get what was wrong with W/L repress? Talking about popularity/demand. I remember talking to Mike few years ago, that they couldn't get rid of W/F vinyl, taking them on tour again and again. Right after it sold out (after years, literally), forums were screaming for repress, aftermarket prices sky-rocketed and all. Finally, when the repress happened, it didn't sold out immediately. Why? Because there is no demand for 500 copies now as there was no demand years back. First 100 copies would sell in a minutes, but whatever we think of Rosetta or other similar favourite band of ours, they are not that big, unfortunately.

That's literally all I want. Also picking up Miasma when I get to bullmoose in the morning. Hopefully I can get the Red version of Milenko if they have it. Sucks that it's just a single sleeve with no gatefold. Hopefully there's an insert to make up for it.

TheDuke, keeping this thread super active

A fantastic and very thoughtful haul! Bad Cop/Bad Cop - Warriors Angry Samoans - Back From Samoa New Found Glory - Radiosurgery 7" Rites of Spring - All Through a Life 7" Weezer - EWBAITE CD (not shown: it's autographed!) My Santa left a few clues in his letter and I was able to figure out it's @Reshiram454. Thank you so much!!

Is this Ormolycka's second label?
