Red Yellow w/ Green splat

http://www.relapse.com/blood-drive-lp-83144.html

 

green w/ orange is a mailorder exclusive and it's $2 less than the red/yellow/green. good because i kinda like the green one better anyway>

The site says that the Red/Yellow/Green is the mail order exclusive.

 

 

Pressing Info:

First Press

1000 x Black Standard Gram

500 x Green w/ Orange Splatter

500 x Red/Yellow w/ Green Splatter Mailorder Exclusive

 

100 x Clear (do not request clear)

I just beat it on Sunday, put it up on eBay for $30 buy it now, and it sold within an hour or two... Just giving you a heads up, you'd be better off doing that than trading it into GS.

You just got hit with some solid logic from several people ("I order them because I actually want them") and this is all you can come up with?  Is real life difficult for you?  

Some real solid logic? Those albums have been sold out for a long time. If they weren't getting the $10 credit, would they keep reordering them? I doubt it.  Sure, they may take the albums if they do come in stock (especially the really valuable ones... who wouldnt want to score that?), but to some, the main point is to get a $10 code.

 

Oh, and my real life is great! Thanks for asking!

Whatever you guys like to tell yourself.

I ordered an import copy off of Insound. They have no real info on the pressing other than it being 2xLP. Anybody know if they are selling the black version, or are they possible one of the Country editions? Thanks in advance!

So is the general consensus on Vinyl Collective that flippers are bad but scamming Best Buy is ok?

Man, missed out on the splatter. Ordered the purple from RFC, and have a brown from HT on its way. If anyone has an extra one, or another link to order (No Sleep is out) let me know.  Ill throw some extra dollars your way.  Thanks in advance.

If you got a variant that you don't want - trade with someone.

 

Thats easy for someone who frequents a record message board, but not everybody does it.

 

It seems like this thread is filled with apologists for Bridge 9. Say you ordered a white iPhone, and Apple sent you a black one (Just an example).  Would you be ok with that? I didnt think so...The bottom line is that they misled their customers, and then lied afterwards to make up for the matter. 

I'm not bitching, I wanted the pink and got it. But to say the fans are lucky to have gotten anything is bullshit. A lot of people were mislead. There is no reason to stick up for the label on this issue.  Would it have been so hard to have separate pages for the actual RSD release instead of mixing them in? Especially when the picture on their store page that linked to the record showcased the pink version.

 

Also, if they were less concerned with variant collectors, why make 4 different variants in the first place?

From b9

"We have zero pink copies left. We said in the item description that RSD copies would be given out at random in orders, so that's what you got. All variants except for the friends press are limited to 500 though."

I dont remember saying that in the listing. I thought it said if you wanted one of the RSD copies, to let them know. Kind of shitty if thats how it went down and they didnt let people know.

 

 

This is a quote from Modern Vinyl's link to the pink version. I bolded the important part.

Update 4/23/13: The record is now up for sale at Bridge Nine. There is a limit of one per customer, in order to avoid flipping. Also, if you want one of the RSD versions, the label mentions on Twitter, “Pssst we have a few RSD versions to give out. If you want one, mention it in the comment section of your order.”

 

So in my opinion, they are lying, and screwed people over.  Feel bad for the people who got shafted.

I love these releases, this will be #4 for me. Just preordered, thanks for the heads up!

Will you do combined shipping?

 

nevermind, read one of the posts.

Good price on Bioshock. Someone should jump on that.

Im really debating it...

I would have liked any album before this, this is when the Bosstones started going downhill...

So if I buy two copies of a new record, get a black and a vomit colored variant,

flip that variant for more than twice what I paid for both, thus making my black

copy free to me…does that make me a 'flipper'…or just a smart consumer?

Both

It's all right. I havent been on these boards long, but you can tell half of the people here are a bunch of butthurt whiners.

 

It probably has more to do with today's entitlement society.

you were right, neon green is back in stock and I was able to grab one

Was just about say that SRC sent out emails saying that they found a few additional copies. Glad you were able to get one!

If it is, then I've been looking in all the wrong places.  Glad to see the repress, but $30 is still a little hard to swallow.

Yes, please tell if it is.

Just got an email saying that these are delayed, and will be shipped on or before April 4th now, pushed back from 3/26....

 

edit: haha updated at the same time

immediately

Thank you. I guess I'll have to use my credit card then

Does anyone know how Fat does their preorders - as in, do they charge your card immediately, or once it ships? I want to order, but I paid all of my bills last night, and am flat broke until Friday... 

Any info on when the preorder is?

Got mine today. Album cover was bent and the vinyl has some light scratches on it... Hopefully the scratches dont affect it during play.

That's pretty slick. Can't wait til it arrives.

Has anyone else not received theres yet? Still waiting for mine from Fat... I hate that they don't give any kind of tracking info with media mail.  I live in Cincinnati btw (Well, Northern Kentucky, but basically Cincinnati lol).
