Chapter Seven

Followed up with Rise again today. "Guys it's been a week and you're not responding to any of my emails. If I don't hear back you leave me no option other than filing a claim with my credit card company. Please let me know if this record is limited to /1000 still, like it was advertised when I purchased it. If you have changed it, I am no longer interested in this order." No response email but they canceled my order haha. Safe to assume it's no longer limited lol.

No, I imagine more pedophilia and its apologists aren’t his favorite color.

It defeinetly was, the lower prices back then were one of the reasons I got into the format; spend a few bucks more than a digital copy and get something tangible in return.

2021: Complains about prices. Starts company to create another step in the process thus increasing prices.

Sounds like a pretty unrealistc business model, to be completely honest.

So they should name it Vinyl Collective? Aye!

Dang. This isn’t “bad Weezer” but it’s totally not my bag. The single made me think it’d be Weezer but without the focus on guitars, more laid back, slight 70s pop vibes but, after the first 2-3 songs, which are a bit interesting, this becomes a more straight up homage to that older pop. If you dig the bands/songwriters referenced in the reviews, check this out. Rivers does a pretty sincere take on their stuff without injecting too much Weezer into it.

Just got a shipping email so it looks like the 2nd press is getting mailed out. Fingers crossed they press the first two soon

Yes please.

Yeah, article says Furnace presses all thr Metallica albums. And there was a Hetfield interview, which I cannot find, where he talks about owning his own vinyl presses. https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.discogs.com/en/furnace-record-pressing-plant-2/amp/

I want to say that Metallica owns all their music rights now, own their own vinyl presses, and everything is produced at the Furnace Record Plant in,Virginia.

I absolutely love the tangible aspect of collecting. The packaging is worth as much to me as the music sometimes. My 400 records are more special than my 22,000 song iTunes library.

This made me belly laugh. Kudos!

As always, thanks for the heads up Ian. Grabbed a red w/ black splatter. Went on IG, saw the video and immediately went searching for vinyl.

From 1970 to now I agree. When looking at the last 10 years I don't agree. It's definitely because of the demand in the last decade and trying to increase profit margins which is totally fair. I used to get new, regular price LPs for $12-14 all the time from labels like Topshelf and No Sleep from 2010-2013. CDs were usually $10-15 regular price at the time for a full length from just about any artist or label. Now it's rare to see a single LP under $20. It's made me sell off a lot of my collection in the last couple of years and I don't buy as many records as I used to. I had a few records I bought for $15 just 3 years ago and different people offered me $100-150 for each. The market has totally changed and also people are crazy lol.

Genuine question: wasn’t vinyl cheap during the ‘90s and ‘00s when demand was at its lowest? I started collecting in ‘08 because prices seemed reasonable compared to CDs, which were increasing in price. Scouring around for out of print stuff, I was surprised to find how cheap the original releases were. I’d kill to have had access to a Hot Topic ten years ago, for example. Maybe I’m just bitter because I’m in Canada and the average price of a new record is 40 bucks.

Can you please elaborate on these, "lifetime warranties" ? Also it should be called THE HOBBY™

I went to every store in the county, the last few days hoping to find some older titles, and ended up picking up Ride The Lightning & And Justice... today. Only had those two and Black. Went to another store and asked, they only had those three also. They’re not supposed to be on sale until Friday. Hoping to stores get Kill ‘Em All and Master too.

Just read the LA Times article/interview with Rivers concerning OK Human...and found this tidbit verrrryyyyy interesting lol: Besides, he’s got plenty to keep him busy, including a movie musical he’s working on about the life of the Buddha — it’s called, uh, “Buddha Superstar” — and two more Weezer albums after “Van Weezer.” The first, tentatively titled “Happy Chill,” is in the style of the band’s mellow 2001 single “Island in the Sun”; the other evokes Franz Ferdinand or the Clash, Cuomo says — “dance music, but it feels like a band.” Looking even further, he’s beginning to imagine his first real solo record, which he describes with two unexpected words: “Barry” and “Manilow.” Singing “All at Once” and another great Houston oldie, “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” on Instagram in recent months got him wondering why nobody does songs like that anymore: complex, grand-scaled ballads that avoid neat four-chord progressions to summon a real sense of romantic abandon. “And that’s when I thought of Barry Manilow,” he says. “I always loved Barry Manilow. I’d love to do what he does.” Link to the full article: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2021-01-26/weezer-rivers-cuomo-ok-human#null

Damn!!!! My order already shipped. Woah!!

Nah it was always their last album

😶

It is a little pricey, but I gotta admit it is a really cool set up. I always wished bands would try to do cool things with their records as opposed to "here's MP3 on a big wax disc."

Got mine today! It was a good surprise. Will try to give a spin tonight.

An online babysitting service for vinyl nerds

Just so you know, fantastic customer service is the reason vinyl prices suck now. Good luck dealing with all those returns and unsellable stock!

What the fuck is the business that's being started?

Media: Mint (M) Sleeve: Generic Vinyl is brand new - never been played! Small sticker on label. Comes in clear protective sleeve.

when did this thread go from dumping on Ross for all the shady business practices to praising them for their releases?

New DVNE albume on metalblade. From the sound of the first bit I listened to it's gonna be pretty good.

giving a corporation like Walmart fucking vinyl exclusives do this shit with a local record store - this shit sucks - same goes with Urban Outfitters and Target too.

SORRY, BUT $37USD IS UNREASONABLE. WOW.

Currently I am rather unhappy with Evil Greed. Had a few bad experiences with them now, first I got a warped record from them which I wasn't too annoyed with when they said they couldn't do anything. Gave them another go, and ordered the END record that came out last year (pre-ordered their exclusive version). Unfortunately got caught up in COVID shipping so couldn't be sent for over six months. Because of this I asked them if I could combine with another pre-order (Svalbard Evil Greed exclusive version) Said it would be fine, and because of continued restrictions I did this again with the new Portrayal of Guilt (Evil Greed exclusive version). Get to around shipping time finally (been happy to wait as I thought would get my records!), and they didn't even bother to hold the records I had ordered and paid for for me, so I'm getting told about a year and over six months from paying they don't have them.
