So does Add Violence feel a bit underwhelming on vinyl, or am I just losing my hearing today?  It feels very flat and a bit compressed compared to everything else TR/AR have put out recently.

OK, so when do we get another pressing of Beggars?

Those Facebook comments are some of the most entitled things I have ever read!

I bet those poor bastards can't even afford it anyways.

I'm guessing these will be around for a few days.  This isn't the vinyl market of 2014. Looking forward to this release!

fragile, fragile deviations, broken, ntae and the downward spiral are all up on fatbeats shipping 11/17

I asked the info desk at Amoeba Hollywood, and they've confirmed these for Nov 17 as well, but NOT WT or YZ, they weren't listed. 

I think it's really exciting and fascinating.  His ambition is inspiring.

They had signed copies up in the web store that went hella quick

IMO what's really working for MM is finding a great song writer / composer that he respects and that can tolerate him.  Their talents compliment each other well.

Yeah it made sense when they actually still sold records in stores. But with (pretty much) no exclusives, there's not much incentive to order from them anymore.

Especially since they don't accept promo codes for them.  It's cool they've been selling a lot at 30% off.  I think there are three strong indicators that vinyl isn't selling as well for HT: less exclusives, a very extended 30% sale, and pulling it from retail.

Amoeba has 10 copies of the Indies version up:

Promo code MISSYOU for 10% off

Its the lack of transparency.   IF they'd just come out and say, "Hey guys, thanks so much for ordering it means a lot that you support us.  The album has been ordered at the plant and the first test is on its way.  Maybe we'll post a video of the test when we get it".   Instead its either no responses or someone telling you they cant process refunds and the manager never follows up....I'd been a vocal supporter for such a long time, but I just can't anymore.  The vinyl bubble is bursting and things are different.  You have to be more chummy with your audience, give them some value to stick around.

Let's Play Two doesn't sound all that great on vinyl.  I can't seem to get the EQ right on my TT. The vault releases sound much better.   

It sounds alright with the treble at 10 and the bass at nine. I've never had to go so extreme on the EQ with any other LP.

If anyone is keen on it. SRC already has a listing to PO ADD Violence 12". With Sand(Shit)bag's track record so far...I think I will go w/ SRC. At least they know how to properly pack and ship records.

I'll wait it out and go with Amoeba.

So Let's Play Two is not limited in any way, right? It'll probably stick around for a while?

I don't know, they don't seem to keep these supplemental LP's in print. 

Has anyone seen any crazy deals on Lets Play Two LP?  I'm hoping for a situation similar to when BestBuy sold the new Trent Reznor score for $13.99...wishful thinking....

You can choose between MP3, FLAC, or WAV.

Thanks everyone, I was skeptical since UMG was distributing these.  Sounds like TR/AR made sure that there were no compromises.

What type of digital DL is included? 320? FLAC? WAV? ALAC?

This is nuts. I mean really, what a fkn deal.

It appears my "blacklisting" at Best Buy has expired luckily in time to get in on this deal!!

Just got shipping notification on the $14 Best Buy Vietnam score. 

 

Looks like that price tag was meant for the CD version of the soundtrack but somehow ended up on the 3xLP score?

 

Anyway, it's still available to purchase for $14.  Jump on it while this error is flying under the radar.

That's hard to say which is was for, here's to hoping the LP is the score on vinyl!

EDIT: mine just shipped!

I haven'theard much buzz about the Vault Novelties shop.  It looks like the LP from Vault 26 is up in the shop.  Live at the Gold Dollar Vol. III

EDIT: Vault 33 has shipped!

A few reports over at ETS that TVW comes with a DL card. The poster said the card reads "full fidelity audio files"

Buy cheap and just stream until you find a DL online

The pathetic thing is I've been streaming via Tidal.  

You have a great point, maybe I should just cool the engines, buy cheap and stream via Tidal until the library gets copies of the CD. 

Now, do I buy in store at Amoeba, rolling the dice on a digital DL code (the hype sticker does not indicate if it is included or not), order from JackBag and get a high res DL, or buy from Amoeba and order the CD from Amazon and rip that in ALAC?   Choices.......
