N8TRU

Long overdue. Acrobat Unstable has been a mess for a long time. Hopefully they can handle it.

I've always thought it's ridiculous how difficult it is to own these records. I didn't buy either last week but from what I saw North was gone 20 minutes after the sale time. I could be wrong though.

I guess BrooklynVegan really doesn't know or isn't going to tell us when their exclusive ships. Were any other variants held up or just this one? Project M has been pretty weird this year.

Full of Hell/Gasp came today. No email with tracking or notification. It came in the thinnest mighty mailer (the name is a joke) possible and it bent the shit out of the jacket. Closed Casket Activities shipped this with the record outside the jacket which I'm surprised isn't cracked.

The assholes at EVR & Merchnow will have a new variant tomorrow at 1PM EST.

We love a mass-produced $36 single LP.

This variant came out recently and I thought it looked the best (maybe tied with the indie). I sent the webstore an email and they replaced my original order for the all seeing eye variant which I thought was super cool of them.

My problem with this is the fact that they’ll say it’s got all this fancy stuff going on with the sleeve and it shows up and you paid $40 for basic cardboard. Showbread’s no sir was well worth the price tag but bless the martyr wasn’t even a gatefold and dead poetic didn’t have any of the UV spot gloss or whatever the preorder said it would. 
 

The best part is when I messaged unoriginal vinyl about it they replied with a thumbs up and issued a statement about how it was the manufacturer’s fault about the sleeve

The irony is so strong on that consider how much they pride themselves and bend over backwards but don't you think if they work so hard on every aspect, including designing a gatefold, the plant would have made it a gatefold? The plant just skipped over 2 giant images and the order for a gatefold jacket which specifically costs more money? Yeah right.

Stoked they're finally getting pressed but boy did we get price gouged.

I thought the first Olivia album was super boring but I'm also a 30 year old man. I mostly love upbeat pop music. Is this one worth my time or keep skipping? I'm not a Swift fan at all if that's anything to go off of.

Am i allowed to bitch about these prices or 52 for a 2xlp is still considered a decent price and I should just shut up and stop being negative?

 

Side note: I bought the og alchemy index book with 4x10" for 50 bucks+ shipping back then. This might answer my own question but still I might be wrong and always negative 

Nah these prices suck and to compare it to something else today (and also to record here for anyone who looks back): Interscope (a major label which is crazy considering how most act) put up 2xLP pre-orders for Zedd's Clarity deluxe edition which is a pretty popular album with ridiculous resale costs for just $22. Shipping is a little less than $8. So you can get a new 2xLP for under $30 shipped if you don't have sales tax but these are $52 before shipping because you're forced to buy a magazine you don't want. Things don't have to suck as much as they do.

Also for what it's worth the 3 for $60 deal Revolver and their company is running today is a pretty good deal if you want some of the stuff they're selling, many of which I'd say are great albums.

New Blush album October 13th. I'm fairly certain No Sleep will be pressing it.

They look great. I wonder why it's going to take a month and a half to ship. I also love that Revolver's mock up is so far off using black instead of powder blue lol.

Keep an eye out, they open it up around once a month.  I think they may be planning on letting in a lot more next time.

Thanks, I hope so. They're one of my favorite bands that I make an effort to see live, buy all their records and some merch, so it feels ridiculous I can't get in lol. I've never seen a band do a free Discord but then limit the number of people.

Nah, I like that they're so community driven, best Discord I'm a part of

That's the problem, not everyone has the ability to be a part of it. Last time they only opened 100 invites which were gone before most people saw the opportunity to join.

Revolver just went up so I bought that over at BrooklynVegan with the discount from the Fiddlehead delay. It'd be cool if their discord wasn't so gatekeep-y.

I would say it's safe to assume they'll keep pressing it for as long as people want it. At least one Title Fight member is running this label but I'm not sure who (my guess is Ned).
