If you’re buying vinyl just because it’s an investment you’re trying to flip later, try bit coin instead.

Real quick, guys... as fun as it is to circle-jerk and shit on an easy target, I'd like to go on record as saying NoWorthyIcons is a good dude, and hardly a "Karen" with vinyl. I've known him for years – as an online acquaintance, anyway – and homie hasn't flipped a single record in his life. Not even sure if he's sold one, to be honest with you. Just this year he's started to really get back into the world of vinyl and collecting newer releases he's slept on – he's been out of the loop for a little bit. I don't want to speak entirely on his behalf, but before 2020 I don't think he was in a position where he was ordering new releases or being subjected to the classic "mockup vs. end product" dilemma we're all used to. But I can confirm he bought two copies of Lament, tops. A splatter variant he's just "okay" with - but is considering selling? - and this Revolver color-way. I can also confirm he's just as nerdy and particular as most of us are about the way our vinyl turns out. Pretty understandable when you're passionate about the music on the record and settling for one copy. Lord knows I do the same. I have 100% sold off a pre-order because I was disappointed with the way it turned out, just to fund a different variant that suits my preferences better. Yeah, it all sounds the same at the end of the day. (More or less, anyway.) There's nothing wrong with caring about the way your collection looks, though. Vinyl itself is a pretty tangible medium; it's really the only excusable format to care that much about. I ended up grabbing a deluxe copy of Lament a week or two after I placed my Revolver order. I only need 1 copy, truly, but I kept the Revolver order because I figured the merge could end up making for a really cool variant. If I didn't have the deluxe, I would actually sell off my sealed Revolver (at cost) and buy an electric blue or that Euro splatter. Both variants are more appealing to me despite sounding identical. And at the end of the day, as someone who doesn't own 6+ copies of this thing, I want to be jazzed when I go to listen to the 1 copy on my shelf. There's no crime in that. I enjoy tracking down cool variants for just about every album I'm fond enough to buy; there is very little black vinyl or "bleh" variants on my shelf, proportionate to appealing variants I own. That's been my MO for a decade now and I have no regrets. Not gonna' knock anyone who feels similarly. And finally, I highly doubt NoWorthyIcons would actually e-mail a label or distro to complain about a variant or demand a discount in the process. Not gonna' speak for him, or anything like that... but those who ordered the Revolver variant paid extra (it was like ~$30 shipped, wasn't it?), waited longer to receive it, and ended up with something way different than described. Which, yeah, it happens. If you've been buying pre-orders for years, you're used to it and may shrug it off. If you're newer to that disappointment, then maybe it leaves you pretty salty. I'm somewhere in the middle – not surprised, but still annoyed. Not furious or anything but strongly considering selling it, in all honesty. Call it petty or whatever you want. It is what it is. I just think it's unfair to accuse someone – who has been a positive influence to many threads and discussions on VC – as some kind of uptight, "vinyl portfolio" Karen when it's not the case. My wordy 2¢. Appreciate anyone who took the time to read it.

Or you could just listen to it. even though you don’t like the way the variant turned out, something tells me the music on it is the same If your issue is you now own like 6 copies of the same record, that’s your own fault

is that a $14 7 inch

At least you can play Pokémon cards. Oh wait.

Damn that was nowhere near as clever as you thought it was

I'll let you off with a warning but I better not see you bringing up currency that isn't freedom bucks.

The good news from this is that any flippers who are not aware of how bad this is will probably have to sit on these for a long time before finally selling them at-cost, potentially not even profiting off them. That's always a pleasant thought.

Not even free shipping. Fuck that noise. 7 inches already suck so if the trend is to continue hiking the price it will continue to make it very easy to pass. This one was even easier to pass bc these covers are pretty wack.

I mean you got half of what you wanted?

So I lament This variant So I lament 'Til I forget

I saw that tour in Lancaster, PA on Halloween! That’s the night Bayside crashed their van and Beatz died 😕 either Chris or Buddy announced it.

Just got this email 15 years ago today, you saw: Senses Fail / Saves The Day / The Early November / Emanuel Oct 30, 2005 Water Street Music Hall Rochester, NY

I get why it's $40, it still fuckin sucks

I'm gonna be pissed if my amazon order ends up being black even though I order the clear. I ordered on amazon the first day it went up.

Where this thread went in the past 24 hours is a throwback reminder of why I quit coming around for a long time. These aren't freaking pokemon cards.

you guys act surprised that vinyl is more expensive when every band lost their entire touring income this year lol

This. Don’t be a stl_ben. The worst kind of people,

Depends on how much you value the Black Stallion LP, tbh. I've seen the 2010 White Pony represses going for $40 on Discogs. If you're not really a "remix" guy, don't think spending those twenty extra clams is worth it.

Thats the Canadian store sweetie.

Come on, where's the super deluxe box set zine?

How easy would it have been to release White Pony & Black Stallion on white and black vinyl? Like, I don't know if that would have influenced my decision enough to spend one hundred and fifty fuckin' smackers, but c'mon, this was not thought out well at all.

Looks like there's going to be an announcement of this album being on vinyl for the first time ever later today. I'll update as info comes in.

I'll second this. I didn't like it at first but I definitely do now.

Shocked it’s still avail based on how many froth at the mouth over this record.

what an album, start to finish.

Today is financially wrecking me.

Revolver exclusive BEER & MUSTARD SWIRL VINYL version /750 https://shop.revolvermag.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/rob-zombie-the-lunar-injection-kool-aid-eclipse-conspiracy-limited-edition-beer-mustard-swirl-vinyl-only-750-made

Grabbed pretty quickly. Love this band.

Sold out already... Thanks again Kanellos for posting this one - so glad to have an order in

I didn't listen to SF's covers, but STD's covers sound like Chris playing with a drum machine. How on earth does this cost $14?!? And how did it already sell out?!?!?!?

I have a feeling all of the Amazon orders are going to be standard black. Trying to find a clear here in the states. Rarewaves had a bunch listed on the bay, but they messaged me back and said they weren’t clear (and still haven’t updated the description)

All four colors sold out

The robot is learning new words but it still likes shitty music

That album sucks camel dicks no matter what the production sounds like. nate was an ass and a bad vocalist 🤷‍♂️

Grabbed a Purple/Green. Can't say I'm happy with the price. Songs are alright. Link to bandcamp: https://purenoise.bandcamp.com/album/through-being-ghoul

That’s CAD playboy. We’re talking USD here for $60 and $130.

If it were 180g and with at least a colored variant offering, I might have bit. WB seemed to put minimal effort into this, that’s not something I really want to get behind...

250 - Senses Fail 1 - Deep Purple w/ Heavy Black splatter 250 - Senses Fail 2 - Black & Silver aside/bside 250 - Saves The Day 1 - Grimace Purple & Neon Green aside/bside 250 - Saves The Day 2 - Halloween orange

The extra $70 is mostly expediting the process of getting you the set quicker. And I guess they’ll throw in some cds and a slim book.

What is this, CD Collective? Get the fuck outta heeeeere

Came to post that as well. Hilarious. We all finally thought a very fitting variant existed and then it turns out to be a dud. Maybe that guy just got a really bad one. Cue up the infinity stones guy mock-up. You think Jeremy knows about that bit hence using an avenger as his reaction?!

Can we trust France though?

.

If this is still about Hail the Void I'm pretty sure they'll have copies available once they've got it pressed and ready to go.

I need Year Of The Rabbit!!

This would have been amazing in an alternate reality where they hadn't just price-gouged the fuck out of Fantastic Planet
