The giftcard thing is such a great tip!

Since giftcards count I'm doing it from now on even with lower prices to get the free shipping.

I just add something to my order that I know they'll never get in stock haha

*bends over*

Is it the same matrix? They might assume people would be smart enough to find the actual differences? Oh well...

Lol I'm not sure you've been around discogs lately. I'm almost positive most people including sellers just click the first thing they see that looks kinda close to what they have. Buying a black copy of something with a specific matrix number to get the pressing you want is also impossible.

I just can't believe they couldn't get the rights from Eddie Murphy for the simple little line "Anybody in the audience ever get hit by a car?" in 3 is the Magic Number.

Not saying you are but I can't believe people are making a big deal out of it. "Yay De La Soul got their rights back! RIP Trugoy... but hey where's my half second clip of Eddie Murphy?!"

The Assai versions are just the UK indie releases and they slap an obi on it. Occasionally it'll be signed but usually not. 

Yeah I know, there's an extremely annoying battle going on on Discogs between people who don't want extra entries just because this specific shop feels the need to do this so often. It'd be an easy solution if people would just realize it's cringe and not buy them.

Totally agreed. Most of the time if I get a record and a little slip cover thing like that is included, one that usually only wraps on one side of the record, I'm worried about wrecking it anyways. They're too fragile and just fall off. Just keep the important bits inside the jacket itself. 

I don't mind them in general because I just resleeve everything I get, but they're supposed to be useful by having the album title and track list more legible. Why do that in a language you can't read for no actual reason? Lol

The random Japanese OBI thing from non-japanese shops is by far the dumbest gimmick I've seen recently. It's like the vinyl version of a white dude in a kimono.

I guess only having their original bassist is rough and I never gave it much thought. In comparison it's kind of crazy how much hate this band gets for only having 1 original member and lineup changes but god forbid I try to say anything about the people using the names Fit For a King, Chelsea Grin, or especially Norma Jean.

To be fair I use far more energy hating this band than any other band. They were also one of my favorite bands of all time, I'm just mad it fell apart. The new prog shit is fine but I can't listen to it.

I work for two record labels and I see the cost of pressing records. Realistically, they’re spending $50-$60 per copy (maybe a little more if it’s in a nice box and not a quad gatefold). I can’t remember how much they charged for the 3xLP live box set with Roth, but I think that it was similar and this one is actually good. I love Roth-era Halen, but the live show wasn’t Roth’s strong suit. 

So this brand new 4LP release in a nice jacket is being sold for a loss? https://younggodrecords.com/collections/frontpage/products/soundtracks-2018

I would guess that at least 60 percent of people going to these shows don’t know that David wasn’t the singer on the whole album. I feel like this entire time unless you’ve been following them forever, they've been really good at not acknowledging the past and their lineup changes and people don’t catch on. 

I remember when LP3 came out and I was like  “this sucks, this is missing all of what I liked about this band” then people online would be like “oh so you miss an abusers songwriting?” as if that’s the only change that had happened until then 

The "abuser" put out an incredible song on this split if you hadn't heard and miss some of that sound https://www.friendclubrecords.com/products/670759-fcr010-one-hundred-year-ocean-you-could-be-a-cop-split-12

Oh and Tom is dead. Them playing Gig Life is actually an abomination and should be illegal. I'm not even joking I guarantee he isn't mentioned once.

They picked David because he could copy Tom perfectly. I liked the choice until it caused a rift in the band. The reality is this band contains pretty much zero major contributors from this album besides the rhythm section. The main songwriter left after Harmlessness which is why LP3 is terrible and they're a different sound on LP4 cuz LP3 didn't work.

That's not David singing on most of it?

No, David is on Getting Sodas. Shitty Greg has more vocals than him.

That Van Halen record is 4xLP, so $100 isn’t insane. 

By what logic?

Nice, they even have someone still in the band who sang half a song on that album.

Dunno if the sale yesterday was real but if it is 🤯

I more than likely was not in the first 200, I ordered a little under a half hour after it went up when I got the email at work. I also thought I was buying the tshirt bundle $45 now seems a little steep. Oh well Muta is awesome, listened to the link they sent over in emails. Now if only I could find an affordable copy of Around or the June 7" so I can finish my collection. I guess I need pipe dreams redux but IIRC I preferred the mix on the Tee Pee pressing and got rid of the Redux but my gear has changed so my opinion might as well.

I'm the opposite, I thought the album was incredibly mid pre-remix and sold my TeePee copy.

Also my order number is lower than yours but it looks like you're within 22 of me.

Grabbed it. First 200 orders get a whirl 7” adaptor. I was #921066, so hopefully that means they started at #921000 and I was 66

I cart counted after I ordered at 1:08pm EST and there was 1822 left. If you ordered before me you got one and there's a slim chance you got one if you ordered in the next minute or two.

I flip shit all the time, my only rule is it has to be something stupid like a flexi or videogame soundtrack.

I want to replace my Pale Horses Deluxe far more than Untitled so Pale Horses wins biggest fiasco. Not to mention the actual variant color is so bad. Untitled is the nicest box in my collection and it was only $60 they could have taken all the time in the world and I'd still be fine with it.

No kidding?

Despite this being great so far, I'm glad this wasn't AF LP4. It definitely deserves to be its own project.

At a very early stage they were planning on it but decided to go a different direction. Unshackled. They didn't actually make these songs as American Football and change the name last minute haha Scott just didn't explain it fully.

Is this a troll attempt or reading comprehension fail?

? Bands sell USB sticks with music preloaded all the time. That's kind of the only point of something like this.
